Hollow Knight

Classic side-scrolling action, with all the modern trimmings.

Hollow Knight is a side-scrolling indie adventure game made by Team Cherry. Explore twisting caverns, ancient cities and deadly wastes; battle tainted creatures and befriend bizarre bugs; and solve ancient mysteries at the kingdom’s heart. Over 130 enemies! 30 epic bosses! Face ferocious beasts and vanquish ancient knights on your quest through the kingdom. The world of Hollow Knight is brought to life in vivid, moody detail, its caverns alive with bizarre and terrifying creatures, each animated by hand in a traditional 2D style. Beneath the fading town of Dirtmouth sleeps an ancient, ruined kingdom. Many are drawn below the surface, searching for riches, or glory, or answers to old secrets. Forge your own path! The world of Hallownest is expansive and open. Choose which paths you take, which enemies you face and find your own way forward.

Hollow Knight Review

8.1 Total Score
Very Good

Hollow Knight is a classically styled 2D action adventure across a vast interconnected world. To put things simply, you are a warrior in an insect world. You journey underground to fight creatures, find treasure, and to discover the mysteries about the world you live in. The combat and platforming is fast, fluid, and feels great. Defeating enemies, and finding cocoons awards you with currency to purchase items from vendors, such as maps and charms. Plenty of upgrades to buy or find, and new skills to unlock. This game is definitely for those people who enjoy a good challenge, love exploration, and don’t mind running into dead ends regularly until they unlock the skills they need to progress. If you like classic gameplay, cute but creepy characters, epic adventure and beautiful, gothic worlds, then Hollow Knight awaits!
