I bought this when it came out in 2017. Got as far as the first Hornet fight, who kicked my a%$. Thought "I'm too old for this" and uninstalled it. 8 YEARS LATERRRRR....Silksong comes out, so I thought "I'll try that Hollow Knight again". And everything just clicked. What an amazing game. I can't put it down. Currently one Dreamer down, and getting the courage to face Hornet Sentinel in Kingdoms Edge !

Always warms my heart when people play hollow knight for the first time. Even 8 years down the line, it's still the gold standard for what indie games can accomplish. This game was made by just three people, insanity, easily one of my favorite indie games of all time.

Easily THE 10/10 metroidvania experience. One of the greatest games I've played. I'll glaze it to the end of the world. Glowing recommendation from some guy you've never met on the internet.

I like to believe that all the events in the lore are a realistic documentation of what happened under some Austrialian's backyard over the course of a week.

Finishing this game had me feelin some type of way. Like when you have the uncontrollable need to read every wiki-page available and watch every YouTube video in existence. The best feeling.
