This is my absolute favorite video game of all time. Celeste's fast and precise platforming gameplay is beyond divine, the themes of mental health are sincere and really well done (and, to me, extremely relatable.) The art seen at the ends of levels and some other places is beautiful, as are the pixel art environments, and the music by Lena Raine is fantastic.

tl;dr: This is a game where despite my efforts, I have a hard time noticing any flaws that matter.

Simple but fun and charming, and equal parts comedic and touching. This game is everything the title promises and more, and it's worth every cent.
I especially recommend this game to enjoyers of games like Celeste or Undertale.

Though its age shows in places, it's still a wonderful game. If I could go back and meet the team all over again, I wouldn't hesitate for a moment. Also, I've done nothing but teleport bread for the past three days,

Amazing exploration and combat that often feels one and the same, backed up by fantastic visuals, music, and sound design that bring this long dead kingdom to life. Hollow Knight is an immaculate experience in which I find it difficult to find significant flaws, and I highly recommend getting lost in the many cracks of this beautiful and broken world.
