A standout Metroidvania with a gorgeous, hand-crafted world, excellent moment-to-moment platforming and combat, and a wealth of content far longer than most expect, packed with bosses, regions, and secrets within secrets. The hand-drawn map system that forces real spatial awareness and the flexible charm-based upgrades add depth, though the deliberate lack of guidance can feel daunting and stressful in unmapped regions. A rewarding, memorable adventure that sets a new standard for the genre.
Nintendo Life gave Hollow Knight a 9/10, calling it one of the finest adventures on Switch with beautiful 2D art design, tactile combat, charming sound design, and impressive exploration depth.
SwitchUp review — score 94/100 via category_/20_avg_18.75.
ZP: excellent Metroidvania with atmosphere; superior to Dead Cells.
