It has the basic hack and slash elements imbued with the directional controls, but other abilities are lacking in the beginning. Your knight carries a nail as a weapon which feels like a sword. The basic combat elements are simple to understand. Indeed, Hollow Knight never gives you the opportunity to use shortcuts that are so common in most games and relies on your skills and patience to make progress in the story. Once you make a little progress, it is possible to locate maps and then draw them on your own. There is no traditional hand-holding elements or map markers to guide your way in Hollow Knight and the prologue makes sure you grasp this very well. This is the real test of the game, and if you can pass this prologue, the game is definitely for you. There is no UI or map accessible at this point, making it all the more mysterious. This is why the game includes a rather cryptic beginning where the main character is just aimlessly wandering around, and you have to figure out the next goal without any help. It is easy enough to explore around and confront the enemies, which are various kind of bugs, but the tricky part is figuring out where to go next. Hollow Knight is a Metroidvania game first that places a clear emphasis on the combat. Hollow Knight also explores a completely new setting by establishing its source material on the world of ‘bugs’ and as weird as it might sound, this works magnificently and conveys a creepy vibe as you explore the depths of this dark and twisted world. One of the reasons why it feels this way is because of the art style, which is hand-drawn and animated in a way making it appear smooth, like a computer animation. The first thing to instantly notice with Hollow Knight is it is absolutely gorgeous. This includes four substantial expansions to the game: Hidden Dreams, The Grimm Troupe, Godmaster and Lifeblood.
