I love swinging my nail (the world's cone-shaped swords) as I walk, kicking up particles from destructible objects along the way, each unique to the setting around them. Each area of the map feels distinct and interesting, with its own color scheme, sullen but energetic theme music, and visual details scattered about. The characters, backgrounds, and even particle effects are all hand drawn, blended beautifully with subtle lighting effects. The art in Hollow Knight is stunning, and never dull despite its muted color palette. Large parts of it aren't even explained verbally, told only through visual clues in the environment itself.Īnd good God are those environments pretty. Like many of the boss fights and whole areas of the map, engagement with that story is optional. But Hollow Knight does an excellent job of slowly showing me the dots and then stepping back to let me draw the lines between them. There's a history to this world that has been partly lost to time.
