Hollow Knight is a PEAK game. It even has gay marriage.
não sinto
é uma obra prima. os gráficos, a música, a jogabilidade fluida, o mundo em que se passa, TUDO! me arrependo de ter demorado tanto pra jogar esse jogo, mas ele faz jus à fama que tem. é maravilhoso explorar o mapa em todos os seus detalhes, cenários e trilha sonora, o jogo pede para ser admirado. a movimentação é um grande destaque pra mim; depois que você pega o jeito com os controles você percebe como o jogo é dinâmico, e explorar os mapas de hallownest fica ainda melhor (menos o ninho profundo... aquilo não tem salvação). e além de tudo isso, o jogo te oferece muita liberdade: ou você escolhe explorar tudo e pegar o máximo de recursos e ficar o mais forte que conseguir, ou você pega o mínimo necessário para liberar o boss final e vai com o seu ferrão básico enfrentá-lo. esse jogo me trouxe boas memórias de quando eu jogava na infância, de descobrir uma passagem secreta numa fase e o alívio de passar de um chefe difícil. há outros jogos que fazem isso, não é algo inovador, mas a simplicidade me trouxe uma nostalgia diferente. enfim, quatro pessoas fizeram uma das melhores experiências com videogames que eu já tive na vida, e com certeza entra pra lista dos meus favoritos.
Best game ever
pika
es el mejor juego y te va a sacar de quisio barias veces
killing zote is to this day the best decision i've ever taken in my entire life. 100% would kill him again.
love the series
Jogo incrível porem ou você ama ou odeia, eu dropei o jogo 3 vezes e até mesmo reembolsei. Depois de 3 tentativas frustradas de jogar o jogo, busquei entender o genero do jogo, compreendi genero e aprendi a gostar porem o jogo ainda não tinha me fisgado, após isso tudo resolvi comprar ORI em uma promoção aqui na steam, após compreender mais sobre o genero e me acustumar com ele, fui novamente tentar jogar HK, e nessa tentativa me apaixonei. Hoje tenho action figures, wallpapers e ate mesmo speedruns e estou a 2 conquistas de platinar o jogo. No meu ponto de vista HK não é um jogo de entrada para o metroidvania, mas pra quem ja entende como funciona e ja tem experiencia com esse tipo de jogo é um ótimo game. Pra mim é um jogo perfeito.
