This game is fantastic. The visuals are beautiful and the boss fights are challenging. The music is great and progression feels meaningful. Hollow Knight is frequently defined as a metroidvania and likened to Dark Souls, but even if neither of those classifications stick out to you this may be worth a try.

From the beginning where I wandered aimlessly and powerlessly to the end where I had one clear goal I enjoyed everything this game threw at me. I ran into some very difficult fights throughout my playthrough, but the controls are very tight and any death was clearly something which I could have avoided. The knight does exactly what you tell him to, so any mistake is caused by the player. Due to the tangible progression and fun combat I can say Hollow Knight is among my favorite games of all time.

Oh, and on a side note; This game is most enjoyable if you go into it blind and just figure stuff out as you go. Guides or spoilers will take a lot of value away from the game.
