funn
I really enjoyed this game. The boss fights were challenging, and I died more times than I can count. However, I never felt like the game was being unfair. Every defeat felt like the result of my own mistakes, whether it was failing to recognize attack patterns or simply being too stubborn to look up a guide. Each victory felt earned because I knew I had improved rather than just gotten lucky. I still don't fully understand every aspect of the game's lore, but that's part of what made it so enjoyable. Like some of the best games in the genre, it doesn't hand you all the answers. Instead, it leaves behind fragments of history, environmental details, and small clues for you to piece together into the bigger picture. That approach isn't new, but it's executed pretty well here and gives the world a genuine sense of mystery. Overall, I came away very satisfied with the experience. It challenged me, intrigued me, and left me wanting to learn more about its world. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys atmospheric dark fantasy and rewarding gameplay.
Прекрасная история про восхождение маленького жука! Боевка ощущается классно, сложность соответствует прогрессу игрока, даже есть щепотка платформера. Но за что можно ценить игры от Team Cherry - это глубокая проработка мира, и Hollow Knight - идеальный тому пример. Сполна оправдывает свою цену!
nice game going to play it for the next 1000 hours
maravilhoso
Great Game!

This game is one of the best games to ever exist. The soundtrack is amazing, the visuals are amazing to look at, and the game play is amazing! The story is so good it will forever be in my memory. Without getting into spoilers, the bosses are amazing! The characters are extremely memorable. This game is a 10/10. If you are considering on buying the game I would say to do it, it is 100% worth the price!
obra prima dos jogos de plataforma metroidvania mundo rico batalha divertida e desafiadora, o unico problema é q tem muitos bugs violentos (literalmente)
