GameplayBugs10/10 all the bugs were great. No software bugs encountered in most casual playthroughs.MechanicsWe love the way the map is handled, the way healing is handled, the punishment for failure. Everything is fantastic, remember not every combat system is for everyone though.

AudioAccessibilityThis is almost a good. It is a great example of designing a game so that not a lot of accessability options are needed. It could cause issues for color deficient people and a contrast filter would be a good add.AI/Enemy ControlWhat they did was passable. Some of the enemies can be highly predictable however they are also very robust.

StyleGoodAnimationGoodSound EffectsThere is nothing bad I can say about the sound effects. They even implemented simple positional audio that greatly heightened the experience of the game.Voice ActingThe way they handled the voice acting gives you a feel for who the characters are and gives you a bit of a window into the world of Hollow Knight. We hope more games without proper voice acting take note.

StorylineThe story is very well presented and intriguing but at the end of the day is a game story. It serves its purpose.CharactersAll the characters pass the silhouette test. They are unique, interesting and have their own goals and driving forces.

WorldbuildingThe world is unique and each zone is recognizable. In a casual playthrough you CAN put together what is happening but it will require some thinking and exploration.
