Hollow Knight

The game has an incredible background set with an amazing soundtrack; each enviroment and stage has an characteristic music and sound effects. The game has a lot of beautyful maps and stages with a lot of very good simply characters, enemies and things. The game can catch you for hours in only twenty minutes or less.

This game is damn brilliant. I remember buying the game and being a bit uncertain about it, as I had never played a metroidvania before and only a small number of platformers. This game destroyed my expectations. It has a brilliant combat system, smooth platforming, a killer soundtrack and lore for those who want it. It's difficult enough to be challenging but not so difficult that it makes we want to kill myself. There's still challenging encounters for those who want it and I can't imagine any way it could be better. This has managed to become my favorite game of all time and manages to make fighting a dung beetle fun. 10/10, now stop reading the damn reviews and go play it, go on, it's too good not to!
