I haven't played a game in recent memory that has as much charm and heart as Hollow Knight. It's extremely evident how much a labor of love this game was for Team Cherry. I'm not normally a fan of MetroidVania types, but this game won me over with its tight, fluid controls, hauntingly beautiful music, and gorgeous hand-drawn art style. This is a must play, and a true indie gem.

UPDATE - I wrote this initial review based on my first impressions. After purchasing this game 2 more times (on Nintendo Switch and then the Voidheart Edition on PS4), I can definitely say that Hollow Knight is one of my favorite games of all time. Its gameplay, atmosphere, and sense of discovery and wonder are second to none.
