Hollow Knight’s cryptic lore doled out in pieces leads me to believe I saved Hollownest in my ending, but an after-credits screen shows a 73% completion in 27 hours of play. I may have finished, but I’m far from done. I still have tons of upgrades, optional bosses, a true ending and a mantis to overcome. And I’m itching to jump back in.

Hollow Knight is a special game; a triumph of atmosphere, design, and so much more. Any complaints I would have are nitpicks; any issue I could take would be pedantic.
