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.)
Это талант нужно иметь чтобы сделать такую ущербную боёвку и платформинг в игре претендующее на "ЭЭЭ СЛОЖНА" и буквально состоящую из платформинга и боёбки. Платформинг ощущается как будто ты скользишь по какому-то жиру. Персонаж липнет к стене, либо вообще пролетает так и не задев. Боёвка... ОЙМАМА. Ты не можешь делать одно действие если делаешь другое. Например рывок нельзя прервать прыжком, если ты ошибся. А когда ты летишь на шипы у тебя нет такого чтобы ты смог вспомнить что можно по ним херачить гвоздём. Противники не замахиваются, а спавнят хитбокс атаки. Ты не можешь прервать атаку врага, а он твою может и молись чтобы ты не отлетел в шипы. А кстати, тут есть октидывание при атаке, круто, только на файтах это мешает. Ну и вишенка на торте - КОНТАКТНЫЙ УРОН, КОГДА У ТЕБЯ ОСНОВНОЕ ОРУЖИЕ МИЛИ. Прекрасная игра
um dos melhores Jogos ja feitos Muito bom
Jogo muito bom, me viciei em menos de uma semana, só tomem cuidado ao baixarem mods, pois podem acabar modificando informações do jogo, nesse caso é só você pegar um editor de saves e corrigir o erro, também tomem cuidado com a troupe do grimm, quando você bane ela você nunca mais poderá ativar ela denovo, só se iniciarem outro save ou corrigirem o erro pelo editor
Depending on how you are, you might enjoy Hollow Knight in a way or in another (or not at all). People that love metroidvanias will rush this game. My cousins has 112% an all achievements in only 50 hours of playing. Me? Well, after seven months of owning this game and 72 hours I got over 100%. This is because it's the first metroidvania I had ever played, so I played a lot when I started and I got lost a lot, bosses took me a long time to complete, etc... After a month or so of playing I decided to quit. Then, in April, I decided to play again. I got some solid progress done, but I gave up and stopped playing. Then, on Easter Vacation I got the itch again and I beat the first ending. I also learnt how to mod HK... making me get a lot of achievements. But anyways... I kept intact my main game and I played again a few weeks ago when I found out you can grind 30k in just 30 minutes in Deepnest, so I did that, bought all the stuff I could and I got all of the Essence to awaken my nail, I did the White Palace, blah blah blah, I got the second and third ending. I also did some Colosseum and Pantheon. Anyways, where I'm trying to get to is that this game isn't for everyone. And those who enjoy it might enjoy it in a different way than a hardcore metroidvania fan might. If you aren't a fan of metroidvanias and this is the first time you buy one, please, after ragequitting after a few hours, don't abandon the game completely. Sooner or later, you'll find that this games is one of the best ones that you can find in your Library. So please, give it time, may it be today, tomorrow or next month
A must-play game!!
definitivamente meu jogo favorito.
pisotearé a todas las polillas blancas que encuentre
Hollow Knight is only not the best game I have ever played because Silksong exists. The story made me cry; the platforming is difficult and frustrating and excellent; the bosses force you to learn them until it feels like you've always known how they move. Every NPC is a delight. The lore is beautiful and haunting. The art style is immaculate. The music will live in my head forever. It may not be for everyone solely because it may be too difficult for some players (but I would not want it to be easier for all the audience appeal in the world.) I struggled through things like Elden Ring boss fights and was worried I just disliked hard combat mechanics entirely, but found learning these a treat! Even if I got stuck sometimes, it was always worth the effort to push through, and the respawn locations are generally very forgiving.
vale a pena o rage de se perder
