This is an incredibly deep, beautiful game. At one point I gave up on trying to finish this game due to the difficulty but its style and charm lured me back, and after 70 hours of gameplay (I spent hours trying boss fights over and over) I finished it. I have some advice. Keep detailed notes as you play on the areas you explore and the obstacles you encounter. Write down anything you find which might be a clue. The game doesn’t hold your hand or tell you what to do but if you keep your own journal like this you will eventually be able to finish the game without using a walkthrough or guide. Definitely not for everyone but it feels really good to have finally finished this one. Expand

There's something about traversing a provided environment that doesn't let you access certain areas unless you accomplish certain tasks, only to later revisit those same areas with the tools you need. It gives you a sense of empowerment, like you earned something. Many other games have done their own version of this subgenre to great success. So what do I think about Hollow Knight? Well... it's good, I guess? Hollow Knight does allow you to explore and there's lots of backtracking, but rather than solely earning a new ability that allows you to access new areas or discovering hidden items that open previously locked doors, it also asks you to buy items from the store to help progression. This can be especially frustrating as you battle overpowered enemies, trying to collect enough money for a specific item, only to die and lose everything you worked so hard for. In other words, the opposite of empowering. Dying it's normal in games but not this much. Do I recommend this game? Sure, but only if you like a challenge and repeating mundane tasks to make financial progress... Expand
