this game is great, but i wouldn't recommend it to everybody. this is one of those games which you may be stuck at one very big boss fight, which may not be for everybody. personally, this game is my favorite, i love spending my spare time playing this game and to know this game is made by 3 people is just mind blowing, i am also very happy with this game because i got it 50 percent off. definitely recommended, but not for everyone.
This game made me love gaming once again
sufri demasiado jugando pero hermoso juego
Juego para masoquistas, eso es lo que es este juego menudo estres que esto, como me encanta, RECOMENDADO.
very fun. played for 30 minutes, then forgot about it. it lay there for 2 days then i came back. i fought false knight and the one at greenpath so far. game is very addicting and i love the artstyle. i feel like the game is a nice challenge and you really have to try and learn the parttern of thee bosses and enemies. the game loads fast and feels clean. i just wish you could limit fps higher than 120 because i would like to set it to about 144 or 240. with my specs it runs easily over 300-600 fps depending on the area. i reccomend playing this and will definately play silksong once it goes on a 50% or more sale off like this that i bought for only 6 pounds. if your buying it not at full price it is a great game and you can put in so many hours in and have fun even just walking about.

This game 100% deserves the hype. Imagine all of the best things from Metroidvania's and Soulsborne games combined with it's own unique world and atmosphere. It's amazing that so few people made this Masterpiece.
One of the best games u will play for ever buddy :)
Yo no puedo creer que diga que hollow knight no es una obra maestra. Durante y despues de haber platinado el juego entendi que este juego es EPICARDO
