Deep Nest – Hollow Knight

Hollow Knight is an excellent amalgamation of a cutesy art style and a fair-but-unforgiving difficulty – courtesy of its Souls inspiration. While the game has no shortage of difficult bosses and areas, Deepnest is easily one of its most stressful. Located in the Southwest corner of the map, Deepnest is easily one of its most stressful areas. Set against a dark and gloomy backdrop, players have to clear out treacherous platforming challenges while tending to random encounters with spiders and fighting a variety of difficult enemies and bosses. It’s a stressful level, sure – but exploring it in a thorough manner will reward players with useful items for the late-game challenges.
