Description
I'm in the middle of exploring a lush, green cavern called the Queen's Garden when the ground gives way beneath my feet. Instead of hitting spikes and resetting back to safety to try again, I just keep falling downward. The leafy walls rush past, becoming dark rock and then web covered crags. If I had found the double-jump ability by this point in Hollow Knight, I could hop up to an exit path and continue exploring in the relative safety of the Garden. But I havent, so I cant. Instead, I have to fight my way through a spider-filled hell for two hours. Hallownest is an unforgiving place.
It's also ridiculously huge. Hollow Knight is a 2D action-platformer in the Metroidvania style, meaning it's centered around exploring an open map, hunting for secrets, and finding abilities that let you reach previously inaccessible areas. What makes it stand out, above all else, is how expansive and detailed the dense subterranean kingdom of Hallownest is.
