Metroidvania Corner: Hollow Knight

VGChartz's Paul Broussard: "Sometimes a game gets so much attention that it’s basically impossible to do a retrospective on the genre without talking about it, and Hollow Knight probably fits that description for the Metroidvania genre better than just about any game that isn’t actually an official Metroid or Castlevania title. It’s now been seven years since Hollow Knight launched, and while the initial PC launch didn’t garner an astounding amount of acclaim, by the time the Switch release rolled around the following year it had developed an intense cult following, to the point where it isn’t uncommon to find Hollow Knight on “best of all time” lists.

I had initially planned to wait until Hollow Knight’s DLC/Expansion/Sequel/Whatever it is now, Silksong, was close to being released to drop this piece, but it’s increasingly becoming clear to me that Team Cherry is waiting for the heat death of the universe to release anything, so let’s just forget timeliness and talk about it now."
