The story of Hollow Knight is left intentionally ambiguous with much of the mystery left for you to uncover on your own. While the journey isn’t without its issues, traversing this world of bug and beast as the tiny masked knight felt so engrossing that Hollow Knight may just be one of my favorite games ever. The excellent art direction and vibrant characters consistently made the world a joy to explore. This sorrowful world is so well-crafted, that it ends up being what elevates Hollow Knight from a simple 2-D platformer to something greater.
A somber soundtrack follows Hollow Knight through beautiful hand-drawn environments, where corrupted creatures wait for their chance to turn the unsuspecting knight into a vengeful shade. Exploring the depths of Hollownest you’ll find abandoned temples and ancient cities, mere shadows of a great civilization now in ruin. The first thing you’ll encounter is a town that’s all but abandoned, the husks of its past denizens wandering aimlessly in the void below.
Hollow Knight instead rests its laurels on a fully-realized world. Mechanically, jumping and basic attacks will account for most of your playthrough, but to say this makes Hollow Knight a shallow game would be overlooking its greatest assets. Hollow Knight is not here to innovate the gameplay of the action platformer.
