Masterclass. This game is everything that I didn’t know I wanted or needed at the time. Hollow Knight is a beautiful, tragic, challenging, fun, well paced, perfect Metroidvania that is a must play for any gamer. I loved the story that was told without ever being straight laid out for you. This game is challenging from the start and only ramps up until the very end. Where as most Metroidvanias as you get stronger the enemies get weaker in response in Hollow Knight as you get stronger your enemies just test your reaction time and health bar more and more. The dlc, while super fun, turns the game from pretty hard time into a finger numbing, brain tingling, rage party. All in all this is my favorite Metroidvania of all time and ,objectively, the second best of all time (Super Metroid.) if you haven’t played Hollow Knight stop what your doing and pick it up right now.

Also if you want full satisfaction of this game make sure to get the true ending.
