Hollow Knight Standard Edition

Hollow Knight is Team Cherry's hand-drawn metroidvania, set in Hallownest — a ruined insect kingdom under a small mining town, where something called the infection has hollowed out most of what used to live there. You arrive as a small nail-wielding figure with no explanation and the game never volunteers one. It is large, quiet and deliberately unhelpful: no quest markers, a map you have to buy piece by piece, and bosses that expect you to learn them properly. Charms let you reconfigure how your character plays, and the world opens up in the way the genre is supposed to work, where a new ability makes you remember a wall you saw six hours ago. Four substantial content packs were added free after launch and are part of the base game everywhere. The Standard Edition is the complete game, and it already contains all four free content packs — Hidden Dreams, The Grimm Troupe, Lifeblood and Godmaster — which between them add bosses, areas and an entire pantheon mode. There is no premium tier anywhere; the console edition simply carries a different name.
