    This game was very cool, I played it for about 40 hours and it becomes very challenging with time, the ideas are very well thought out and honestly I'm not the type of person who likes games to sit for hours with certain bosses, but here it was nice, I can't wait the next game.

    It's a very fun game with challenging bosses and platforming.

    But a lot of times it feels unnecessarily punishing and may be too unfriendly to casual players. Things like sparse benches (save points), the map of each region needs to be unlocked first, current position not available on the map with a charm and a notch (a precious resource), etc. I beat a fairly hard end game boss (NKG)    It's a very fun game with challenging bosses and platforming.

    I'd really love some more accessibility so people don't get locked out of contents, especially that consoles don't have mods    … Expand

    Juego de culto, recomiendo probarlo al menos una vez si se tiene ocasión. Si conectas con él es imposible echarle menos de 100 horas.
    Música, historia, gráficos y gameplay son A+ tier

    Arte e design simples e linda, jogabilidade muito boa, história ótima e uma dificuldade balanceada (na minha perspectiva) em grande parte do jogo. Um metroidvania impecável e melhores do que muitos por aí, simplesmente meu jogo preferido.

    Hollow knight is a game that went beyond my expectations. It's clear that Team Cherry put a lot of love and care in their game. At first, I was a bit afraid by the game's difficulty but I can reassure a lot of casual players that the difficulty is fair.

You will get a lot for your money by buying this game. For me, Hollow Knight is a strong 8/10. I think the game still has a few weaknesses like the story and the graphics that are quite basic (I understand that most people will still like the game's presentation. For me, it's just a matter of taste). Finally, I think this kind of game gives hope for how much quality small studios can deliver. I recommend this game and I will try the sequel if it get released on PS5 in the future.… Expand

    Uma das coisas que mais me impressionaram foi a história dos lugares dentro do jogo. Cada local tem uma narrativa interessante, que se desenrola de maneira envolvente. À medida que avançava na história, a sensação de ficar mais forte a cada novo poder adquirido era emocionante. Esses poderes influenciam diretamente a jogabilidade, oferecendo novas habilidades e estratégias para enfrentar os desafios.

    Os amuletos também desempenham um papel importante no jogo. Além de complementarem os poderes, eles possuem efeitos que se combinam com outros amuletos, tornando-os ainda mais poderosos. Essa mecânica de combinação de amuletos adiciona uma camada estratégica e incentiva a exploração para encontrar as combinações ideais.

    One of the best metroidvania that exists. It is addicting and satisfying. The way you learn is amazing and when you stop playing you want to come back to it asap. Graphics and soundtrack are 10/10. Hard and challenging bosses and a very interesting lore.

    Giocabilità altissima e alta longevità.
    Livello di difficoltà impegnativo ma mai frustrante.

    Hollow Knight genuinely surprised me, from a small indie company I wouldn't have expected such a polished experience. Throughout my journey through Hallownest I fought through what felt like a huge variety of enemies and bosses, which was challenging to say the least and definitely made me want to quit on more than one occasion, but fighting through the blind hatred and defeating each bossHollow Knight genuinely surprised me, from a small indie company I wouldn't have expected such a polished experience. Throughout my journey through Hallownest I fought through what felt like a huge variety of enemies and bosses, which was challenging to say the least and definitely made me want to quit on more than one occasion, but fighting through the blind hatred and defeating each boss made me feel more and more satisfied with my progression even when I thought I had hit a wall, and collecting the massive arsenal of charms and abilities that I earned from exploring every nook and cranny, made me feel like I was getting better and better while my timing and use of spells improved over time.
    The story of Hollow Knight was one that took me some time to get used too, without a quest board to guide me I definitely felt lost at times, but with the drive to explore the amazing environments that could completely change the tone of the game in an instant, I was able to get really enveloped in the story of the Hollow Knight.
    The community surrounding Hollow Knight is one that cares greatly about the detail and deep lore, I have enjoyed spending hours surfing its reddit and YouTube to find Easter eggs and theories about the characters, as well as the incredibly strong community of artists who have created some of the most impressive art I've seen, which all added to my overall experience and drove me to push through the difficulties to complete the game and experience everything it had to offer.
    The music is a such a big part of Hollow Knight as they have beautifully handcrafted each fight with its own musical piece, which I have began to listen to outside of the game and have grown to really appreciate the alluring symthany and how it instantly immerses me in the environment I am exploring.
    In conclusion, the world of Hollow Knight is one filled with great challenges and a mysterious beauty, with the art style being so unique and the music being exceptional throughout my journey, it all combined together to great an incredible game with a sentimental and exciting story, which makes me incredibly excited for what team cherry has for the future!    … Expand

    the map system is fun and allows players to really feel a connection to exploration.

    There is even some nice end game content... but be weary it will really test your skills!

    Only downfall is a singular weapon choice. It does have some fun move sets but you are limited in this specific aspect of the game.    … Expand

    Just two words: awesome game... even though it could be difficult sometimes for people not used to this kind of games, i never felt frustrated.

    The atmosphere of the game and the absence of a guided tour like in most videogames nowadays was also a big plus for me. If you like being told "go here, do this" with a giant point in the map, then this game is not meant for you. And the music is also great. Looking forward for the 2nd part.    … Expand
