After playing this game for 5 months straight and finally completing every achievement, I think I can say this is without a doubt one of the best games I have ever played. It weaves an amazing experience from start to finish. I love the game's tragic story, compelling characters, and beautiful environment design. Although it's one of the only metroidvanias I've ever played, I found it to be an excellent entry in the genre, and even on my frustratingly difficult path to 112%, the gameplay was too addicting to put down. Hollow Knight has definitely become one of my absolute favorite games, and I look forward to the day I can play Silksong as well.
