Hollow Knight2017

Hollow Knight is really impressive for an indie game, and you notice on every corner that the developers have put a lot of love into their project. The art style is great, and the rooms are lovingly designed and well filled. A real highlight is the control system: it is extremely clean and precise, and that is exactly what makes the feel of the game so strong. In the long run, however, the game principle becomes a bit monotonous for me: You basically go from room to room, and despite the good design, I get a certain repetition effect over time. The difficulty level is really strong so far, and because I want to play the game on platinum like all my games, there is a lot more to it. Only the trophy for the transport of the flower has brought me mentally to my limits and can quickly become frustrating. I am currently 11 hours in and not through, so this is an intermediate status. I am curious to see how my journey continues and if my opinion still changes.
