Yes, this game is amazing.
Yes, you should buy it.
Yes, it is worth the money.
Hollow knight is my favourite game, out of a ton of other great contestants. Why? It'd take a while to explain.
- Great and fun, fast-paced combat that WILL kick your ass until you get the hang of it. Once you do, you can weave your way through enemy attacks with clean movements and dashes, quickly counter attack and dip back out. Healing is a risk, as it should be in a game like this. You'd begin to find openings and use them for healing or a strong counters on your own, since the enemies and bosses are so well telegraphed for you to notice such things. A+
- Exploration is a joy, with a map system as good as this, you'll find yourself trying to fill every cut-off trail and finding a whole lot of meaningful rewards (Not you, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ eggs) and might even stumble onto 1 of multiple optional bosses or biomes. This game really leaves a ton up to each player's route. You have very little things that are mandatory to complete the game. You could look up speedruns and be amazed at how much they DIDN'T do. But this game seems to make every1 an explorer, looking for whatever it is you can find off the beaten path. A+
- The art style of this game is really pretty, but you must already know that. It looks great, sounds great, and makes good use of similar designs to let you know that "psst, this might be connected to that, remember that thing?" Not much to say about the art style and sound design other then the simple fact that they are just great. A
- The boss fights in this game can move between a joke to Ridiculous levels of difficulty, but none of them will feel like bs (apart from those heat-seeking missiles in the city tower, if you know you know) Overall, most of them are great, whenever you get hit, you know that it was because you didn't dodge or got greedy with a heal. I won't spoil any of them, but know that there's a metric ton of amazing duels that will really test your skill. If we can put aside the heat-seeking bs knights, boss fights also get an A+
This game is amazing and you should 100% at least give it a shot before ragequitting after the 1000th time you got hit by a primal aspid. While I did not 112% it, I still consider it my favourite game. I may not be a completionist, but I can love the game this much without doing the final pantheon, right?
10/10. Now where the hell is silksong team cherry? WHERE IS SILKSONG TEAM CHERRY?! WHERE IS SIL-
Oh wait there it is.
