I am not at all experienced in writing, critiques and game design so please excuse any mistakes, flawed judgements or sloppy writing. However, I hope that a few other people will also enjoy this piece and share their thoughts on the game and discuss some potential improvements. It was written mostly for my own benefit in exploring different games and learning about game design. This essay is a critique of the popular indie title Hollow Knight (with the free Lifeblood, Grimm Troupe and Hidden Dreams DLC).
