Hollow Knight

This game redirected my taste for video games. I had more fun playing it than I ever imagined. I managed to achieve every single achievement, play through different randomizers and mods, complete all Pantheons, beat Steel Soul, and defeat almost every boss hitless. So what can I say except: this game is peak. The exploration is fun, the combat is easy to understand but rather hard to master, and the OST is an absolute banger. The game also has a really friendly, supportive community and great modding support. I would easily recommend it to everyone. Team Cherry really earned a place in my heart with this game. Of course, the beginning can be challenging without a map or a clear direction—but hey, you’re playing a Metroidvania, all of this is part of your Hollow Knight experience. To sum it up: a great single-player game you can try at any skill level. (Yes, you will die—but you’ll learn.)
