The game emphasizes skill and exploration across the vast, interconnected underground kingdom known as Hallownest, as Pellen told Red Bull Games: “the key element we were interested in reproducing was the sense of going on a grand adventure in a strange land full of monsters and funny characters and secret nooks and crannies. We really like the feeling of forging your own path in uncharted territory and having to face unknown dangers.”īrought to life by stunning visuals, Hollow Knight has been well received by critics, holding an aggregate score of 86/100 on Metacritic, and described by one PC Gamer critic as “the most beautiful hand drawn game ever played.” Another reviewer lauded the gameplay too: “ Hollow Knight knocks it out of the park in terms of gameplay and presentation with some of the best 2D animation I've seen for a game.” Buying maps along the way, you wield the Knight’s nail, a sword-like weapon, to keep enemies and bosses at bay.

Like many successful studios, this one came from humble beginnings. Hollow Knight: Silksong is the epic sequel to Hollow Knight, the award winning action-adventure. Ari Gibson, William Pellen, and David Kazi from Adelaide bonded over Zelda II: The Adventure of Link and have added a hot-selling title of their own to gaming’s metroidvania kingdom. It was the shared nostalgia for a classic game that pushed three budding Australian game developers to form their own studio, Team Cherry, in 2012.
