A perfect take on the genre 0
Hollow Knight is the true modern metroidvania game, it's fresh, with really tight controls and it gives that atmospheric sense just like Super Metroid at its time. It's not hard to get lost in this dark world, full of intriguing bugs and curious places. The game is so rich in content and unexplored lore, the deeper I went into Hollow Knight, the more I was surprised at just how much content and freedom it has to offer.The main hook of the game is the traditional way of the genre: New movement ab...

Hallownest be Thy Name 0
And so it is that the fire has now finally faded; the souls series has been laid to rest and the body of From Software’s grim legacy now lies six feet under. But in the ground below the allure of its necrotised flesh has attracted a large number of hungry creatures, eager to taste this most delectable of corpses. One such diner at this great buffet in the dark is Team Cherry, and whilst others sloppily pig out on the skin this small team of Australian developers have somehow managed to dig...

Beauty in the world that is. Hints of the world that was. 0
Hollow Knight has lots of steamtags relating to “Metorivania” but it is something quite unique. Hollow knight realizes the core concepts of Metorivania games powerups, secrets and gated progression all abound in this title. But what makes it special is the way that it deviates from these typical tropes. Hollow Knight is penetrated by an overwhelming sense of the unknown. Your titular character awakens in a crypt in a world that has seen many better days. To make even worse you don&r...

Deep, difficult and challenging. Easily the best Metroidvania inspired indie game of this generation 0
Hollow Knight perfectly encapsulates the feeling of isolation and discovery in a metroidvania. It entreats players to wander deeper and deeper in an elaborate maze filled with boss fights and secrets. It tells its story with the environments, whether it’s the sparsely populated town of Dirtmouth, the luscious botanical gardens of Greenpath or the remnants of a great civilization in the City of Tears.The game pulls no punches and requires players to master the art of combat, the platformin...

Hollow Knight - One of gaming's modern classics 2
Hollow Knight is a masterpiece of modern gaming and one of the best if not the best Metroidvania ever made. That might be a bold statement to some people but for real I adore everything about this game, it might be perfect. I have a personal list of all the things I look for in a video game and Hollow Knight just checks off every box. I've seen a lot of people draw comparisons to the Soulsborne series for this game and typically I dislike when people compare every game with difficulty and third-...

Hollow Knight manages to make exploring a environment fun and somewhat challenging too 0
The game has a well done art style that gives the world a interesting look.This is a game that I didn’t try out when it was originally released thanks to all the comparisons to Dark Souls. Then I decided to check it out a few weeks ago and wow it is so much more than that. While it certainly cribs some features from it like losing all your currency whenever a death happens. Yet the gameplay is a traditional metroidvania with plenty of extra movement options as you go along. Which does me...
