6In this review, we dive deep into Hollow Knight — a hauntingly beautiful Metroidvania that balances precision gameplay with stunning art direction and immersive worldbuilding. From its atmospheric hand-drawn visuals to its enigmatic audio design, Hallownest is a kingdom brimming with charm, challenge, and mystery. We’ll explore the triumphs of its polish, the clever use of cartography, its infrastructure both ruined and alive, and the unforgettable bosses that make every corner dangerous. While Hollow Knight may not be groundbreaking in originality, its execution is near flawless — proving that mastery of design often matters more than novelty.
