Gorgeously presented and cleverly designed, this impressively realised Metroidvania excels in every area except originality.
Hollow Knight: Voidheart Edition shines bright, which is ironic considering its solemn presentation and challenging gameplay. Offering a plethora of collectibles and content to explore as well as unrelenting confrontations, the game delivers a sensational, mysterious journey which will undoubtedly test your platforming skills.
Hollow Knight will stick with me for a while. It blends a Metroidvania and Dark Souls in near-perfect fashion. Its tight gameplay as well as its fantastic look and music immersed me into caring about a mysterious civilization of bugs. If "Soulsvainia" is a new sub-genre, then count me in. Also, count me in for the next thing that Team Cherry releases.
Hollow Knight knows well how to blend it's main influences. On one side the classic 2D Metroid and Castlevania games, and the Souls franchise, with their over the top difficulty lowkey frustrating.

Hollow Knight recovers the essence of metroidvania on Xbox One. Team Cherry does a good job with Hollow Knight, offering us balanced and well-executed combat, varied enemies and incredible artistic design. Not to mention the content, which is very vast thanks to its complete editing. It is true that its platforms are quite simple and that it does not bring anything new to the metroidvania genre. As castlevania: Symphony of The Night or Ori and The Blind Forest did at the time. But even so, Hollow Knight is a highly recommended game for both fans of the genre and those who want to try it for the first time.

This is not just a contender for game of the year, but also easily one of the best Metroidvania games that I have ever played. The Voidheart Edition packs all content at release thus making it the best way to experience Hollow Knight.
Hollow Knight: Voidheart Edition shakes up the MetroidVania space with excellent worldbuilding and the challenge to match. Though the game does not hold your hand, those willing to face the world of Hallownest will find a game with a lot of “Soul.”
Hollow Knight: Voidheart Edition is undoubtedly one of the best games inspired by the Dark Souls franchise. Its developer was able to perfectly capture the essence of the so famous series by delivering a work with a deep narrative, fun gameplay and fantastic visuals. Its huge amount of content will surely steal many hours from those who wish to venture into their universe full of secrets.

The game is a masterpiece in many ways and could quite easily swallow many many hours of your time but boy is it enjoyable to explore that wonderful world.
While it may not bring anything new gameplay-wise to the genre, the unique design and story, amazing soundtrack, challenging combat, hours of enjoyment, and fantastic boss fights make Hollow Knight: Voidheart Edition a bonafide winner.
