Just garbage. Avoid like the plague. How on earth is Sony Playstation endorsing this kind of scammers on the PS store is a real mystery.

Terrible port. 40 euros and the game is a mess in terms of stability. Constant crashes on some quests, known from the previous version, with the most mind numbing workarounds/reason -- dialog lines or inventory items, or equipment. On one occasion, to get passed one crash I had to go and purchase a low level suit of armour (Iron armour) and equip that to be able to avoid a dialog crash... On top of that, 0 improvement from the previous version released in 2012; same horrible menus/UI, bland combat, terrible inventory system, low quality audio (you need to play this on almos max volume to hear the dialogue/sounds). The Reddit page of this is full of people having the exact same crashes -- so these aren't even isolated cases -- how the hell this thing got through testing I have no idea! Seriously, this got released for almost full price (40$/euros), for the exact same game released ~10 years ago, with the exact same issues. Same issues with the other ports by THQ Nordic... (Darksiders 2 was another buggy mess with constant crashes). Never buying another THQ Nordic game again! Avoid like the plague -- not just this one but all THQ Nording ports... maybe try it when it's under 20$, but definitely NOT worth 40$.

Bought this at a sale on the eShop. It plays like crap and controls are idiotic! Got stuck on the worm boss and, unless I'm missing some upgrades, I'm stuck there due to the **** stupid difficulty spike. If I had to review it in one word: ****

DO NOT BUY! Honestly as someone who is used to challenging games, I found Hollow Knight to be one of the worst. I found the challenge here to be gimmicky at best, with cheap mid-boss enemies, damage model based on hits and touches by enemies and awkward controls/platforming made even worse on the Switch thanks to the Joy-Cons. You start with a little guy that has 1 attack (3, if you count directional attacks as well) , a heal spell and a jump. That's it. No block, no dash/evade, no way to avoid getting hit and as I've mentioned getting touched means getting hit. The enemies are very agile and have a long reach, you yourself are very small and cover a short area, which leads to a lot of cases where you are being hit while trying to hit. In short, the combat is abhorrent! There is no learning curve like what you had in the Souls games, where if you could overcome a difficult enemies/sequence you could get past it by learning from mistakes, learning new moves and strategies. There's none of the here, as the game is very straight forward. The platforming is probably the worst offender, it has this this awful downward attack that you have to use to get through some parts which is a pain to archive on the Joy-con. Add to that tight jumping sequences where you are harassed by enemies you cant avoid... Some enemies respawn while you rest at a bench, others respawn if you exit an area, making making it feel very inconsistent. The area maps that you have to purchase, which is incomplete when you buy it, also updates new areas you've been through while resting at a bench. You have to grind your ass off to buy basic game mechanics, like maps, map pins, etc. Overall I think this game tries so hard to be a 2D souls but falls flat due to all of the above, instead being nothing more than an over hyped poor attempt with pretty aesthetics. As it is, the game is unplayable and enjoyable without a scale back on the difficulty, maybe with a easy mode added. If you're looking for a Souls like, you won't find it in Hollow Knight. I strongly recommend waiting for Dark Souls Remastered or Dead Cells, both out later this year.

60$ for a 1 year old game that you can get for less than 10$ on ANY other platform, and get a much better version of it?! Are you serious Bethesda?! **** off!

A piss poor unenjoyable experience. Missions on a timer (WTF?!?!), awful checkpoint system, terrible graphics even for a vita game... just everything about this is bad. It's like this game was made by people who hate the franchise and wanted to make a bad game or it was made by morons who shouldn't ever be allowed to make video games again. Can't believe I'm saying this but even that ugly unoptimised mess of a port Borderlands 2 on the Vita is better than this! Waste of money, time and precious PSvita card storage. P.S. I can't understand how people are giving this good reviews/scores and complaining about bad reviews/scores. Either they've been paid or are living a very sad live with just a PSvita and one game on it. The worst game to have on the Vita: CoD BO Declassified. You guys should try Killzone Mercenary , it'll blow your minds!

What a god damn awful game! The controls are clunky, the camera is awkward most of the time, the enemies are bullet sponges, and all boss fights are based on that as well -- it takes a stupid amount of ammo and time to drain their health -- so little to no actual challenge. I really enjoyed the other games in the series, but Size Matters is so bad I hate it.
