I bought the game on a whim for the switch, but I feel ill prepared. I don’t usually play heavy action games like this and I hear it’s especially hard for what it is. But I want to try.

    There’s been some great advice in this thread. In the future though here’s a shout out for one of my favorite wikis out there, the before I play wiki .

    It’s great and has useful tips for all kinds of games. Good luck in Hollownest!

    I happened to start HK at the same time as a coworker. We would sync every few days about what we discovered recently. It wasn’t a spoiler, it felt like I was back in the 90s talking with friends about game secrets before the internet spoiled it all. The game is just as much about the exploration as it is the challenge. Highly recommend if you have any friends who are also thinking of playing it.

      Couldn’t agree more about the exploration. It is about discovery. Discovery and pure frustration at enemies. Great game that I never finished but still think about.
