Here, the absence of familiar things seems wild at first, but Hollow Knight isn’t just trying to be “not like everyone else.” It immediately warns you of a high entry threshold. Gradually, you earn and unlock items that are available immediately in many other metros. In addition, for each region there is a separate map – as soon as the character enters the next zone, it is first desirable to find the cartographer who left behind a trail of sheets of paper. And all sorts of benches and other useful objects are not marked on it. But what a bad luck: it shows just tunnels and rooms, without your character. Over time, you find a cartographer who is ready to sell a map sketch for coins. The game is unfriendly and doesn’t lead you by the hand, but there is no desire to turn it off – you want to figure everything out. Some currency falls out of defeated enemies, and the same coins are often stacked in low piles, but how can you spend this money? You wish to save sitting down on a bench, but you have no clue where it is.
Going down a couple of floors, you want to open a map, but it’s not there. Shortly after getting acquainted with the controls, you will find yourself in a confused location, not possessing any useful items, except weapons.
You have to explore this dark, hostile world and survive in it all by yourself. Unlike other games of the genre, you won’t get any guidance or right-off-the-start perks. On the surface, Hollow Knight seems to be yet another metroidvania, but it’s much more than that.
