It is a common misconception that Prometheus stole the secret of fire from the gods. In actuality it was this absolute masterpiece of a videogame, which the gods saught to keep hidden from us.

On a serious note, Hollow Knight and its small team of developers both represent a resounding victory against the current state of the gaming industry. No microtransactions, not even close to a triple-A price tag with more quality content than one, beautiful art direction and exceptional gameplay. Not to mention all the DLC, all of which are peak quality and packed with additional content, are free.
And unlike the inhabitants of Hallownest, there are few bugs to be found. Hollowknight, in my humble opinion, overshadows all other metroidvanias on most levels and will forever be one of the few games that deserves a perfect 5 star review and also one that is serious.

Even if it is not your kind of game, it is a resounding victory for all game developers that are like Team Cherry. Bravo.
