- Players who want every challenge to be mandatory may find the optional structure too loose
- Players who prefer combat-focused progression may find the emphasis on exploration and movement limiting
Our take on Hollow Floor
The bounce point arrives when optional challenges can be ignored: players who need every collectible or obstacle to drive progression may lose momentum. The one-hour structure can also feel abrupt for anyone expecting a sprawling Metroidvania campaign.
What is Hollow Floor?
Explore more than 100 rooms across three dangerous biomes, each with distinct mechanics and challenges.
Power-ups add new movement options, changing how the world can be traversed and opening routes through secret passages and shortcuts. The objective is to collect any number of power gems, charge the portal, and escape the dimension. A fourth, final biome tests abilities gained earlier. The game can be completed in about an hour, while 99 optional coins add extra challenges for players seeking them. Challenges can be attempted whenever they are found or skipped, and there are no time restrictions. Movement uses the arrow keys, while X activates a special action or respawn.
