I can’t say enough good things about this game. My son and I played it together, and we both loved it. The graphics are amazing, the music is phenomenal, and it’s fun to play. I wholeheartedly recommend it.
Achet pour switch, le jeu est arriv scell.
Y compris un petit guide et une carte (l’enveloppe).
Le jeu est juste incroyable avec des musiques dans la thmatique du monde un peu sombre et triste.
Il a une trs grande dure de vie sans compter les dlc au nombre de quatre.
Faut pas hesiter.
Comenc jugndolo en la play 4 y qued tan enamorada que decid que deba poder jugarlo en cualquier parte y especialmente estando de viaje, as que me compr una Switch Lite nicamente para poder jugar esta maravilla. Totalmente recomendado
llego con unos dias de tiempo anticipado al originalmente mencionado, el juego es una chulada recomendable al 100%-
Came in a day after i ordered, package was overall pretty clean and game runs fine. Thanks!
This game is great. I’m so glad that I picked this game up. It’s not your, I’m gonna start this game and finish it today kind of game. It’s adventurous and finding new things every time you pick it back up is so enjoyable.
I am super late finding out about this game, but so glad I did. Great maps, action packed, awesome upgrades, and great challenges. A must have game.
This game is my favorite game (at this time). I’m a huge fan of platforming games only because this game came out! Bring on Silksong!!!
Ive played Hollow Knight on other platforms before and I love the game, wanted to get the hard copy for my switch because i’ve really been enjoying playing on the switch. Didn’t expect this to come with an instruction manual AND a map of Hollow Nest. Both are adorable and I will be framing the map and putting it on my wall.
This is one of the most interesting games I’ve played on the switch. Great gameplay.
Gioco molto conosciuto e finalmente ho avuto il piacere di giocarci.
I played this on the new oled an think it’s a really good game
Non l’ho comprato x me, preso x regalarlo, ma so piaciuto.
Non il mio genere ma uno dei pi popolari indie degli ultimi anni, trovato con una buona offerta, non potevo lasciarlo. Il gioco ha una bellissima grafica e per essere un action platform molto interessante e accattivante.
Avevo gi giocato a questo gioco in versione digitale, ma mi cos tanto piaciuto che ne ho voluto acquistare la sua versione fisica. I pregi della versione fisica sono oltre che la bellezza del prodotto in s con tanto di copertina reversibile, anche un bellissimo poster della mappa di gioco. Consigliatissimo
Trs bon jeu ! Les graphismes et les musiques sont trs beaux ! L’histoire est extrmement intressante.
Mais attention, pour ceux qui hsitent l’acheter, le jeu est difficile car pas du tout guid et les endroits de sauvegarde sont rares.
Trs bon platformer 2D, la mcanique die/retry est bien intgre dans l’univers du jeu.
Finito in circa un 40 ore di gioco mi ha entusiasmato davvero moltissimo, il mondo incredibilmente ben fatto, gli scontri emozionano e ci si ritrova facilmente a non accorgersi del tempo che vola! Davvero un gioco must have!
Gioco arrivato puntuale e intatto.
Perfettamente funzionante e senza alcun problema.
Ho gi giocato questo titolo su pc ed praticamente uno dei miei giochi preferiti.
Desideravo da tanto avere una copia fisica e sono stata piacevolmente sorpresa nel trovare contenuti extra come la mappa e il libriccino, cosa che nei giochi ormai difficilmente mettono. Consigliatissimo!
I do know anything about video games. this is for my granddaughter, but I know she will love it!
I was an avid gamer in my youth, loving games such as Metroid and Castlevania. Games that you can get lost in the world and really explore. I put games down in my adolescence and recently picked them back up in my 30s. It’s brought back so many found memories of my childhood and Hollow Knight has fed my nostalgia.
Hollow knight takes queues from the “metroidvania” genre and completely redefines open world exploration type games. The lore is expansive, the game mechanics are terrific. Did I mention it’s difficult, because it certainly is. So much so I almost put it down for good and I’m glad I didn’t.
If you feel like you’re stuck and it’s just too hard, give it a break and come back to it later. You’ll start to practice your technique more and more, especially on tough bosses and you’ll “git gud”.
The music is absolutely breathtaking and you’ll find yourself humming along to it as you play. Another sign of a solid video game.
Make no mistake, this game is an instant classic and will be played by generations to come.
I’m so happy I discovered this game and can’t wait for the sequel “Silk Song” to come out.
In the meantime, I’ll start a new game slot and rediscover the magic of the world of Hollow Knight.
I found the game to be very addicting. The artwork and the creativity that went into this is just outstanding. The story is suspenseful which only adds to an already addictive game. It’s definitely worth the play!
Comprato e regalato a mio nipote che rimasto molto, molto contento del regalo! Gioco perfettamente in italiano! Arrivato imballato e perfettamente nei tempi!
Game style (for anyone not familiar with the term metroidvania is a side-view of the main character, able to progress up/down/left/right through a variety of different interconnected regions, with stuff to find, plot-elements to uncover, bosses to fight in a non-linear order, etc.
Hopefully someone finds this useful, so I haven’t wasted my time. 🙂 Oh… and excellent background music!
Kids can’t put this game down they just love it !
I liked this game so much, that I bought it twice, as the first time I had purchased it digitally and it was so special to me that I bought it again when it came out in physical form, as I just had to have it in my hands and shelf. I bought the Switch version and it run excellently, not problems with loading and slowdowns on the console like Little Nightmares, Mark of the Ninja or Bloodstained. Absolutely buy and play this game, it is without any equivocation a masterpiece. I can hardly wait for the sequel, I immediately feel happy just thinking that we will experience more of this wonderful universe. Bravo, Team Cherry.
Gioco davvero carino e immersivo, colonna sonora spettacolare, sfondi e ambientazioni suggestivi. Sulla switch gira molto bene sia in dock che portable, l’unica pecca che se volete giocarci all’aria aperta in una giornata soleggiata, con il riverbero dello schermo switch, gli sfondi scuri del gioco, non vedrete quasi nulla e sar un impresa ardua giocarci. Per il resto un ottimo acquisto sulla console anche per la presenza dei dlc, che su PC dovrete acquistare separatamente.
produto de extrema qualidade, dos melhores jogos que j joguei
Other than the switch controls that go haywire, i found the game to be exactly to my liking.
Not to mention, Buying the game, i didn’t expect to get a Book Manual and Hollow Nest Map.
which is definitely an A+ on my book.
This game is one of the best I have played in my opinion I definitely recommend i
Love this game. Bought it digital and hard copy. Have not opened the hard copy yet.
Trs contente de mon achat. Jeu conforme ce que j’attendais
When this first came out, I was not impressed nor bothered by the mechanics, art style or gameplay… After the youtube algorithm introduced me to fireb0rn and other hollow knight enthusiasts, I became more interested in the actual game.
What you will be in for is a challenging, sometimes infuriating game that immerses you in a strange, dark story.
It is not an easy game and your reflexes need to be on point if you want to complete 112%. For those without the capacity for quick response time, whilst you may be able to sneak through the core story, you won’t be able to get full satisfaction.
The main story is quite interesting and the side plots can take you through a range of emotions.
I have spent over 50 hours (working through radiant boss dlc) playing the game. I did not expect to get so much out of the game.
Looking forward to the sequel starring a great NPC.
What a brilliant game this is. This is my third time buying Hollow Knight having already got it on PC and PS4. It feels like ripping off the developers considering the price they sell it for. Hollow Knight has easily entered into my top 5 games of all time, maybe #1 when I really think about it. It’s a 2D action platformer in the Metroidvania genre, and it is the perfect example of what a Metroidvania is and should be. Other than some bugs here and there (that most people won’t encounter anyway), this is nearly a perfect game with beautiful hand drawn art and a great sound track to go with it’s brilliant, addictive gameplay.
Was recommended this game by a friend. Absolutely hated it the first time I played it (got hopelessly lost and kept losing to a random “boss”). Tried it again a second time and fell in love! The world is immersive and a joy to explore, you get this excited fuzzy feeling when you discover new areas and beat hard bosses. The in-game characters and various areas have lots of personality. This game is hard as heck, but once you beat that part you’re stuck on, it’s difficult to put the controller down..
En perfecto estado y con los DLCs en el cartucho
Gioco bellissimo, adatto forse ad una utenza non giovanissima, bellissime ambientazioni e musiche, molto longevo, i dlc aumentano la durata e la difficolt.
Superb style of graphics, combined with great gameplay, make Hollow Knight a true delight to play.
I have this on my computer and it has become my absolute favourite game! The fact it was made by an indie game studio makes this even more incredible! The soundtrack, art style, combat.. everything about this game is lovely! My friend absolutely loves it as well, a worthwhile christmas gift!
Gioco magnifico, ambientazioni stupende, mappa e guida all’interno della confezione. Nulla da aggiungere, un must anche in attesa del secondo capitolo
I bought this for my son (10) as an alternative to the FPS/immersive world games he has been playing.
He was absolutely hooked. He doesn’t get a huge amount of game time a week, but he was completely immersed in the world, and marvelled at the depth of thought and clever twists within it.
It took him over a month to finish it, and he still raves about it.
I strongly recommend this as an alternative to Fortnite/Overwatch/Minecraft experiences.
Great game, absolutely fantastic… basically have just been playing it for a month non stop… the only reason I give this 4 stars and not 5 is because my copy was in French , doesn’t affect game play as I can choose the language, but I now have a french game manual…
‘Enjoy’ is an understatement.
I was captivated for months by Hollow Knight. I hunted down every boss, catalogued every enemy, collected every upgrade and item it had. I was besotted by every aspect of this game, from the artwork, the animation, the music and sound design to the carefully planted lore, the intricate world, the charming NPCs, the tight gameplay, the sheer FEEL of every facet. Hollow Knight excels in every area it touches upon, and I was genuinely sorry to defeat the final boss, and finish the game.
When I was approaching the end of my time in Hallownest, scouring old areas for missed collectables, I got to thinking: does this game have any flaws?
I can truthfully say, in my humble opinion, it does not. This is, for me, a 10/10 game, and believe me when I say I don’t make that claim lightly.
If you’ve played a Soulslike or a Metroidvania before, you’ll already know if you’ll like this kind of video game. Hollow Knight is a delight in every factor you’d associate with the likes of Dark Souls or Metroid, and yet its presentation guarantees that you haven’t played anything quite like this before.
If you haven’t played a game like this before, this is a perfect place to start. HK is a painstakingly constructed world of interconnected areas, filled with secrets and shortcuts you’ll access later when you acquire new abilities. HK is a tough-but-fair experience that rewards careful approaches and punishes sloppiness and impatience; yet for all the challenges it presented me with, I never once felt that any were beyond my abilities. HK is a mountain that implores you to climb it: you keep climbing, assured that you can reach the summit.
The only drawback to choosing this one is that it’s all downhill from Hollow Knight 😛
Finally, the price: worth every penny, I would say. My first playthrough lasted about 95 hours, by the end of which I had a new favourite game, so I certainly got my money’s worth!
Such an incredible game in so many ways. The art style, the music, the gameplay. Everything is perfected to Team Cherry’s vision. And it’s so nice to have a game produced with an actual manual (and a map!). Miss the days when it was standard with any game. A little pricey compared to what you pay for it digitally but if you are physical collector then I would definitely recommend this over the digital version anyday.
Ottimo titolo, molto divertente che mette a dura prova.
Purtroppo metto 4 stelle perch mi arrivato in francese nonostante fosse scritto che era l’edizione inglese
2D Dark Souls, but you’re a bug. Fantastic, tight controls and amazing level design. Couldn’t recommend a better rogue-like.
Quand on lance le jeu on se dit, a va tre easy, effectivement, les premiers ennemis sont vraiment facile tuer, donc on ne prend pas garde soit. Malheureusement ou heureusement selon les personnes, a devient rapidement plus difficile de tuer les ennemis et et je ne parle pas des bosses de niveaux, mais ce n’est pas insurmontable.
Dans ce jeux quand on perd on retourne un Check Point qui dans ce jeux sont des bancs que l’on trouve certains endroits et qui permettent de se reposer et aussi de sauvegarder. Le problme, c’est qu’il n’y en a pas tant que a.
Le cot positif :
C’est un jeux original, avec une ambiance toute particulire, au dbut on aurait tendance trouver a plutt relaxant, mais a devient vite anxiogne (je ne sais pas si c’est vraiment le bon mot).
Le cot Ngatif :
J’ai t agac car quand vous tuez les ennemis d’un tableau, il rapparaisse si vous revenez sur ce mme tableau, comme si vous n’tiez jamais venu, je trouve a vraiment irraliste (ce n’est pas le cas pour les bosses), comme si le jeu n’avait pas d’IA (intelligence artificiel), a rend le jeux un peu agaant.
Dans l’ensemble c’est un bon jeux, qui pour certaines personnes pourrait tre un peu laant, mais il faut persvrer, jouer avec la carte… et surtout ne pas penser que le jeux est facile, car le dbut est un peu trompeur.
Graphiquement c’est beau mais pas exceptionnel, on y joue surtout pour l’ambiance ainsi que son originalit.
Bande son qui correspond parfaitement l’ambiance. Belles animations et trs beaux graphisme.
Livret et map dans la boite, livraison rapide….
Heureusement, la langue franaise est prsente dans le jeu.
I dont have time so I prefer having some time on this game as a stress relief rather than play long RPGs or shooting games. This is great if you dont have much time during the week.
Controls are very simple but as I said, you need quick reflexes and control. Quite fun to play!
Kept son entertained for ages and he still keeps going back to i
One of the best games I’ve played in the last 5 years, just so engrossing
I have always enjoyed the metroidvania genre but this is perhaps the best one I have ever played.
Bought this for my son for his Birthday and he is still playing it. Compared to other games that get completed very quickly, Hollow Knight goes on forever so is well worth the money!
What can i say this is a beautiful 2d game and i highly recommend it to anyone who likes these type of game.
