Notes

This is an review of a game called, Hollow Knight for the Nintendo Switch, The story of the game is about The Knight who is the protagonist of the game who has to explore the world of Hallownest, your protagonist will uncover friends, foes, traps, and charms through out this thrill of an adventure their mission is to stop the original hollow knight who is locked away and who is infected by the bright light as it is said. The genre of the game is a platformer and action or better words Metroidvania referring to the Metroid series and the size of the areas and how many collectables you can obtain, and reason i think this game does it amazing is because of the risk to reward mechanic and Hollow knight does this better and you feel like you deserve the reward from the time and effort, even if its self accomplishment. Then we have the visuals which are beautiful the scenery is drawn and phenomenal to encounter which makes you want to explore every area, nook, and cranny the game has to offer, this makes it better due to the fact of team cherry being a small group who is motivated to bring the fans what they want, like free DLC, and in some time a new prequel. Now lets move onto the mechanics, you can move around and jump, and attack of course but sooner enough you will be able to dash, double jump, wall jump and many more due to having the next big thing called charms, you can unlock more space by getting notches to your arsenal and to add on there is many charms to collect with different special abilities, there is also soul upgrades which uses your three special soul abilities and health upgrades so you have more chances of getting hit, you can heal by holding the button, but this leads to quick thinking and strategy because the bosses are a challenge including the enemies, that is why you have the other three special nail abilities which can help you in battle by charging your attack. Overall, if you have not played the game its best off if you give it a try it is very cheap to get and very fun to play the DLC is free and the game is very long and in depth with the story, and personally its an amazing game, it may have some flaws by difficulty at the start, but in the end its an fun game to play and beat and once you are hooked you will be hooked this is my review of Hollow knight, and that is why you should play it.
