Well... this is a tough one to write. First, I have to admit that initially, I didn’t want to play this game because Metroidvanias aren’t really my favorite genre. However, after a couple of friends kept recommending it and insisting for days, I finally gave in and downloaded it.

At first, I was terrible. I died a LOT—even against the easiest enemies. Frustrated, I thought, This game just isn’t for me.

A few weeks passed, and I decided to give it another try. Slowly, I started to enjoy the game, especially the boss fights. But I wasn’t prepared for the challenge that lay ahead in achieving 100% completion. I struggled through the Colosseum of Fools, I suffered with Nightmare King Grimm, and I had my fair share of battles with Zote. Yet, somehow, I managed to overcome them.

Then came the real challenge: the Pantheon of Hallownest and the speedrunning achievements. At one point, I felt like giving up—I was so close to uninstalling the game. But thanks to the encouragement of my friends, I persevered. Today, I can proudly say that I completed the game and unlocked every achievement.


Warning: Spoilers

When I finally understood the lore, I was blown away—it’s an absolute masterpiece. You play as a hollow being, a vessel created for a higher purpose. Your mission is to save the crumbling kingdom of Hallownest. It doesn’t matter if you’re small and armed with nothing more than a tiny nail; you can overcome all your enemies and become the savior of this beautiful world.

The game delivers a powerful lesson: no matter how difficult or impossible something may seem, you can achieve your dreams if you fight for them. It’s truly inspiring.


If we’re talking about difficulty, this game scores a solid 10/10 for its achievements. From speedrunning to completing the Pantheon of Hallownest—a mode where you face every single boss in the game back-to-back—it’s not easy. You’ll need to practice a lot, so be prepared before diving into the achievement hunt.

FINAL SCORE: 5/5 ★★★★★ THIS IS A MASTERPIECE.
