A masterpiece.
The dark and misty environment, the story mainly underground, and some moments reminding of Tim Burton's films may give a feeling of depression. This is for me what makes the charm of the game.
The melancholic music fits perfectly and polish this unhealthy atmosphere.

The controls are very responsive and the spells enjoyable. The icing on the cake is the high number of skills and all possible combinations.
Overall, every associations are viable depending on how you play.
Customizing a character is always very welcome, especially when the changes are so visible and smart.

Congratulations to Team Cherry for all the love and care they brought to their creation. I highly recommend.

Nicely put. Hollow Knight features such a beautifully designed world for you to explore, coupled with the stellar music and difficulty, it creates a delight of an atmosphere that I just don’t see a lot in games. (From what I can gather with my minimal playtime.)
