A very entertaining game with guaranteed hours of engrossing gameplay and appealing to multiple age ranges.
kelvythepenguin –
amazing depth of story and challenging fun. stands out as its own and not just a rogue/dark souls clone
MyNameIsJeff –
Fun game that pulls you into its own world. Love the art and mystery of the atmosphere. Hurray bugs!
BrokenISP –
Good game, a bit short, but my kids really loved it. Wish there was more to it though.
KCcrazy36 –
Bought it for my son and he enjoyed it okay. Not sure if he plays it anymore.

I started playing this game years after its release. It’s not what I’d usually go for but it was really enjoyable. It can get really difficult, but the satisfaction of winning is such a great reward. If I had more time, I wouldn’t have been able to put this game down. It flows really well and there’s no right or wrong way to progress in the story. The one thing I’d wish for would be a practice mode to revisit old bosses, but otherwise, this game is A1!
MamaBrute –
My daughter (14) really enjoyed this game, and it was a good value!

Souls game with a kiddy art style. I wasn’t as impressed as others. Tired of environmental story telling at this point.

Hollow Knight is my favorite game of all time. I have beat it on multiple platforms and 100% it twice. You will not be disappointed if you buy this game.

I had not played video games in a long time due to nausea from playing. But a friend recommended this since game is 2D. Was glad to finally be able to play a fun and interesting game again without sickness.
BrianPDX –
It’s a fun game with lots to explore. However, it can get a bit tedious and confusing with having to go back to a starting point when you die. It helps me kill a lot of time while traveling for work on the road!
ElleKay –
This is a fantastic game. You should definitely buy it.
Brandon –
Wonderful gameplay with a fun story. Hours of gameplay
Airmanpdx –
One of the best games ever made! This game took me over 100 hours to complete and was only 15 dollars for the digital copy. Great Value!
Alex –
One of the best games I’ve played in a long time. The switch controls are a little delayed at times though which is frustrating.
Meek –
Love this game and is challenging. The art style and gameplay is eye candy
naga –
Like the game. It was intense and provides many challenges
JJGE –
This is probably one of the best games I’ve ever played. The game itself is a lot of fun, with mechanics that build up little by little allowing you to gain new skills and reach new areas, the visuals are stunning and the music is hauntingly beautiful (now one of my favorite soundtracks to have as background while I work). I highly recommend this game
Kailaa –
This game has to be one of the best games I’ve ever played for the switch.

My son has been playing this game for months, he loves it, I bought it not knowing anything about it but it was a big hit- the graphics are dark and the story is good- lots of hidden things and ways to practice your fighting skills

Great game, especially for the price point. Lots of fun with challenging levels. Great for daily gamers and casual gamers alike!
