hard

This is one of the most rewarding and immersive gaming experiences out there. When playing, I often found myself getting lost in the world of Hallownest, everything you do is meaningful in it's own right and there is a whole lot to do (trust me, I have done it all.) The world as a whole that this game depicts feels like it actually exists with the help of music, visuals, feats to overcome, and characters around the Kingdom that feels meticulously crafted for Hollow Knight.

Team Cherry is made up of only three members and their product is a perfect example of the result of doing what you do out of love versus primarily for-profit AAA game studios. For $15 you are absolutely scamming this underrated game studio. The best part about this is that Team Cherry is about to do it again with Silksong on a seemingly larger scale for around the same price.

Just a side note: this game will keep getting harder until you finish everything and there are some pretty severe difficulty spikes but it is all manageable, it just requires dedication and persistence. This is easily the most rewarding aspect of Hollow Knight, it makes you a better gamer.
