Hollow Knight

Genre: Metroidvania

I've played the main story 1 time and given it an average score of 3 (out of 4).

Beautiful art style and atmosphere. There was a story, but it was pretty buried. There also wasn't a great power curve- the world was always dangerous. Definitely a design decision, but not one I loved. Cool enemy designs and varied environments. Game was tough but fair, which is nice to see. Tons to explore, too. Meeting a tough boss was exhilarating. Trekking around was less so- more convenient fast travel would have been nice. 64% completion.
