Sept. 2025

Every time I think I am getting better, the game reminds me I am not. Thanks, Hornet.

Sept. 2025

No spoiler review. Just shy of 7 hours in, several bosses down. This game was worth the wait. It is what a sequel should be. I know I am in full shill mode here, but I cannot stress enough just how great this game is. Pretty much everything in this game is either an upgrade, answer to, or alternative to something in Hollow Knight. Being that Hornet is different from The Knight, she moves differently, fights differently, and has a different set of skills/equipment. They REALLY leaned into her being an agile hunter compared to the little knight we played last time. She has an angled pogo compared to The Knight's downward pogo. She sets traps instead of using shadow magic. I legit cannot wait until people WAAAAY better than me figure out some insane movement tech with how agile she is. While the silent protagonist worked PERFECT for Hollow Knight, Hornet speaking with people and voicing her concerns/opinion/etc (Hell she even threatens and talks shit when it has been warranted to so far!!!) works perfect with her character juxtaposed against the silent knight from the first game. Even small quality of life changes have been amazing. In the first game taking a compass or the flies that gathered geo took up a precious dps trinket slot, whereas in here you have offensive trinket slots, defensive trinket slots, and support/QOL trinket slots. I wont even comment on the story in fear of spoiling anything but so far it's awesome and again I am only roughly 7 hours in. Normally I would wait until I either beat the game or was just about done with it, but having played their first game several times and from what I have experienced here so far, this will be the best 20 dollars you ever spend in your life. EDIT: Now that I am MUCH farther in the game, I wanted to add some NON STORY but ability/upgrade spoilers since I have seen QUITE a few comments from people who definitely haven't gotten far enough in the game to know what they are talking about. However, if you don't want to be spoiled on even abilities, DON'T READ BELOW Ok 1) I was sort of wrong. While Hornet has an angled pogo, this is with her default crest. You can find different crests throughout the game that change your attack patterns such as how you swing down, up, jump attack, dash attack, etc. They are literally different fighting styles. One of them is extremely similar to the Knight's with the downward pogo. 2) People have claimed that you can't upgrade your weapon like you could in Hollow Knight. That is completely wrong. These people just didn't get there yet. It is a BIG game. There is an entire secondary objective in the game that is huge and impossible to miss. If you don't ignore it, you will unlock a vendor who can upgrade your weapon. If I find out any more that won't spoil anything serious, I will try to add it here. But please do yourself a favor and avoid looking ANYTHING up. This game has some truly AMAZING moments, just like the first game.

Sept. 2025

Trying to buy this game on release day was the worst and most painful, two and half hours long edging session in my entire life... It was worth it.

Sept. 2025

It feels so familiar yet so clean and refreshing at the same time. Hornet is a dream to control and her having a voice enriches the story that much more. It's obvious the game has been polished to a fine sheen and only a few minutes in I'm completely immersed and curious to find out more about the plot. 10/10, I'm glad to finally be returning to this world once more.

Sept. 2025

A game about bugs, where your a bug that fights other bugs. The only thing that really bugs me is how long it took for this buggy little bug of a game to finally bug its way onto my screen. 10/10 - No software bugs, just actual bugs.
