Hollow Knight

Star: 1Star: 2Star: 3Star: 4Star: 5

This miracle game is made in 2D format, which greatly limits the possibilities, thereby complicating the game mechanics, forcing you to fight a huge number of “bosses”, find and develop battle tactics. Beautiful graphics, oppressive atmosphere, and oddly enough, the presence of a plot in our favorite and unique style of “GUESS FOR YOURSELF”.

This is a pretty big plus, since solving plot charades makes the game much more interesting and deeper, which trains not only the reaction of the fingers and the strength of the nerves. This allows you to turn on fantasy, look for meaning, answers to complex questions in a seemingly childish entertaining manner. Where for answers you have to go down to the darkest corners of the universe. And the reward will be bright emotions in a seemingly gray environment.

A small beetle with a big heart roams here. There are a lot of bosses in this development. Huge world, you can get lost. If at the beginning it is clear what to do, then in the future the passage becomes difficult. You need to buy cards. To see yourself on the map, you need to buy a compass. All bosses are scattered in different corners of the map in random locations.

Let’s analyze the underground world in detail

Users use their own currency – geo. Also in Hollow Knight there are useful amulets, they make the passage easier. At the moment there are 4 additions. To open add-ons, you must complete certain tasks. For example, to open the “Corpses of Grimm” add-on, you need to light a torch behind a fake wall. There are also several endings waiting for you. And it’s exciting.

Plot: A small, masked bug explores the disease-ravaged kingdom of Hallownest in search of answers he didn’t want to ask.

Music: For your future adventure, you will enjoy sometimes frightening, sometimes funny and epic medieval music that you want to hear performed by an orchestra.

Locations/Graphics: The whole location in a nutshell looks like this: beautiful and gloomy, as if drawings on paper moved to the screen from a notebook without changes, however, they are. This is clearly seen in locations: From the Misty Canyon, as if placed under water, to the royal gardens strewn with greenery and ashes on the edge of the kingdom.

Process: You can play with the standard set of features, only with magic and a little acrobatics. A nice combination, especially given the character’s other abilities, like bouncing off objects with a nail, the ability to add amulets, and a variety of tactics.

Hollow Knight is one of the most outstanding works of art in computer development and the genre as a whole, which is a must for all fans of classic metroidvanias and not only.
