I put this game off for far too long but I'm glad I finally got around to playing it. The artwork and music alone are 10/10. Combat is challenging, boss design is excellent and varied, the platforming can be absolutely brutal, and the metroidvania aspect of the game is nailed perfectly. Seriously I think Hollow Knight raises the bar for the modern metroidvania and sets it extremely high. Great game, worth every penny.
