Hollow Knight: Voidheart Edition

Hollow Knight isn’t just a Metroidvania game, it goes above and beyond that, taking the genre into the modern age. The visuals, sound design and level layouts are absolutely gorgeous, the variety of enemies and customisation is astounding and the difficulty level just makes you want to go back again and again.

A beautiful, challenging and enchanting game that shouldn't be missed. [Christmas 2018, p.86]

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 low key frustrating.

Hollow Knight brings us metroidvania genre back, with all of its best features: exploration, wide world, combat and platforms. Despite its lack of innovation and some gameplay issues, Hollow Knight is a must for all kind of gamers.

Hollow Knight: Voidheart Edition superbly covers all the bases for the perfect metroidvania game, adding a stellar artistic production to the package and delivering ten of hours of platforming pleasure. A must have for any lover of the genre.

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.

Hollow Knight may be challenging, but it's perfect. The level of difficulty is but at a perfect level of hard but not so hard it's unenjoyable. Beating bosses feels rewarding and exploring Hollow nest is extremely fun with all its beauty. The combat in this game is perfect and never gets boring. Hollow knight is a must play.

Hollow knight is about as it is named: Hollow. This game looks neat, smells neat, has a demonically loyal fan base, yet doesn’t play all that well. The combat feels very broken and unfinished, and the most frustrating Metroidvania in existence. I could understand why most people enjoy, but I just don’t like it.

It is a very creative game with beautiful graphics and cool gameplay - however I do not this it is as mindblowingly good as everyone is telling it is

Wow. just WOW. This "game" does nothing new or innovative or anything to push this genre forward. The only point for this "game" existing is for the devs to say that they can copy other peoples work. Everything single thing in this "game", from the ost to the art style has all been done before and done better. Now the devs are using the Silksong hype to sell more copies of this "game". Silksong is never going to happen but they dont want you to know the ugly truth.
