Hollow Knight Reviews
Hollow Knight is without a doubt one of the best games in recent years, and a featured member within the exploration and platform games that follow the Metroid school. The only downside that can be put is that it does not have behind a distributor that manages to advertise a work of this caliber through all the available channels.

When it comes to putting a score to this dark beauty of a game, I find Hollow Knight to be as close to perfection as some of the greatest games of all time, standing tall upon the shoulders of genre-defining titles, tall enough to leave its own legacy.
Nintendo Switch version is the GOTY version of Hollow Knight, with the expansions (which I have not yet had the pleasure of tasting). Without a doubt it is an essential purchase for lovers of the genre, yes, I insist that you arm yourself and that you explore and explore until you find where to go.

Hollow Knight is a majestic experience that only gets better the more we play it; an adventure that trusts in us to unravel its world without ever being condescending or unfair. Undoubtedly, it shines as one of the best experiences in a genre known for its excellence.

It nails down atmosphere like few other games do, providing some truly haunting ruins and boss fights that, once learned, become akin to a violent balet that unfurls in front of you. In the end, Hollow Knight is a title which was given much attention and care by its developers and which grew into a Metroidvania experience worth going through at least once.
Hollow Knight is the result of the efforts of a small Austrian development team.

Hollow Knight: Voidheart Edition is an eventually great game. It requires a ton of patience to see through, so even though it’s on Game Pass you need to make sure you’re willing to commit that much time because boy does it both start slow and make some head-scratching decisions when it comes to the map and exploration. If you can hold on for a solid 10 or 15 hours though you’ll end up finishing up one of the best 2nd halves of a game in the past generation.
Just like how the Nintendo Switch and Metroid Dread bundle like bread and butter, Hollow Knight can just as easily be the butter of a Steam Deck sandwich (or just get it on virtually any other mainstream platform!). The main story might feel a bit short when you subtract the hours spent on grinding and figuring out where to go. However, you’ll likely add more hours doing side-quests, each with its own rewards and optional content that pull back the plot curtains even further. Combine that with the beautiful visuals, deep story, and generally higher, but not punishing difficulty compared to the games they take inspiration from, and it’s an A+ in my book. I suggest you take your sweet time working your way through because Team Cherry is cooking up a sequel which may or may not see its release this year. Finally, I can join my excitement with the hundreds of thousands of Hollow Knight fans eagerly waiting for its completion!
Another one of the titles I didn't originally review for the system, this is another one of those games that would be criminal not to include on top lists, especially given its difficult-but-addictive nature...
