The map is huge and dense, and unfortunately, there are simply not enough fast-travel spots. The only major complaint that weighed on me in any meaningful way becomes a problem toward the end of the game. In a situation like that, finding a fast-travel location or a bench brings out satisfying relief. If you have a lot of geo, and you’re stuck in an area without a map – which happens – it will be hard to find your way through the confusing labyrinths of Hollownest. It of course adds challenge, but in a palpable way, adds so much tension. For one, it immerses the player into a new environment and forces them out of relying on a map for directions, which tends to be a problem in the genre. To get a map for each area you must find a character named Cornifer, who sells partial maps and is tucked away somewhere in the area.

Geo, the currency of Hollow Knight, can be found all over Hollownest from every enemy killed, to hidden stockpiles. There’s a limit to how many charms can be active and the more powerful the charm, the more slots it takes up. Some cater to certain play styles while others can be experimented with in order to help out with specific tough spots or boss fights. One progression path through Hollow Knight is the charms system, which are perks that greatly change what the Knight can do. It’s cool that all these moves share the same pool, because it reduces spam of projectiles and forces the player to think quickly as well as strategically.
The soul meter can be used to heal, which takes a few seconds and can be interrupted – or can be used to shoot projectiles and other abilities. When an enemy is hit by the nail a soul meter is filled. The Knights main weapon, his ‘Nail’, is a simple melee weapon that can attack in 4 directions.
