Great game, challenging (annoyingly so at times) but rewarding. Beautiful to explore, story that doesn't intrude on the gameplay but keeps you informed.
It's so very close to the overall vibe that super Metroid has, which is high praise.
I've gotten stressed out with this game from time to time but really it's only because I'm being impatient and rushing in a game that wants you to learn and plan and take your time.
My criticisms are limited. I don't like that if you die, it can be quite a long distance from the nearest bench back to where you were to go kill your ghost and get your points back. But I can't think of another original platformer released in the last 5 years that's quite this good.

The best metroidvenia ever One of the best game i have ever and i Will ever play, such an Amazing lore and gameplay loved the boss fight, the charm and all the final, if i had to describe It with 1 world i'd Say amazin. I really liked the charm sistem and now in hyped for the prequel.
To every One Who wanna play the game i Just wanna Say that its very hard if you like wanna do the Path of pain or the 4 and 5 pantheon you gotta be ready, i got the Platinum and It needed 67 hours buy you at least Need 50 to do all you got to do even if its not for the Platinum.
Personal best boss: Nightmare grimm.

HOLLOW KNIGHT (2017) is one of those games that really have a lot going for it. It's challenging, adventurous, artistic, unique, intriguing, dark, creative, and all very chill. It's a very fun fantasy / adventure sidescrolling platform game, with many vast areas to explore. While it may appear simple (design, art style, characters, minimal story) there is much to do, though it's not always clearly pointed out. This isn't a game for the close minded, but rather one for players willing to ponder and explore.
When playing this game you don't always feel pushed to one direction or forced into questing, but rather can enjoy (or dislike, depending on your play style) an almost open world type of experience. The areas you are given to explore are pretty huge and there are many areas in the game. It is quite a long game oveall, making it well worth the money spent. I enjoyed that game pacing can be either faster or slower depending on your play style. The gameplay is definitely a throwback to classic platformers and really fun to play although it certainly gets challenging at times. It's a very fun game and I can't complain.
The game aesthetics itself are very beautiful, the art is unique and memorable and it has good music. Overall, I would definitely recommend this game to play if you enjoy a good fantasy adventure platformer game. Hollow Knight offers plenty of hours of play, as well as a challenge.

I added this game to my list of best games ever made. There is not one even slightly negative thing o can say about it. Everything is balanced so perfectly. Gameplay, art, music, story.... It's truly beautiful.
