Hollow

Hollow is an incredibly ugly game with the kind of plentiful technical issues that make it actively difficult to play. Those with a masochistic streak might derive some pleasure from its abrasiveness and its downbeat tone, but most Switch-owning horror fans would be much better served playing through Resident Evil Revelations and its sequel for the umpteenth time.

MMEU is not a game developer. They are assets creator. They made plenty of asset packs for Unity and Unreal and then... They tried to turn them into a game. It's a buggy mess which uses mainly assets from Mothership Service Rooms pack with Dead Space-inspipred monsters and themes. It's not good.

Hollow is a complete failure and a real mockery. Monotonous, confusing and miserable game. It doesn't deserve your attention even with price slashed by 90%.

Hollow tries to break into the circle of horror games for the Nintendo Switch, which has been growing considerably over the months. While Hollow does a good job at presenting the right atmosphere for a horror game, it loses its potential when it comes to the actual gameplay, which feels heavy and slow and the experience suffers from several technical issues and bugs that make it more difficult to enjoy.

Hollow is, well, a hollow experience. A great atmopshere can't save the poor performance issues, lackluster combat, and tedious exploration.

I have to say, a game like Hollow has so much potential and it could have been one the best horror games on the Nintendo Switch had some basic aspects had been right, such as the movement and combat. But what it ends up being is a game that doesn’t have many redeeming features or qualities. It’s too slow and lethargic, the display is a little off-putting after a while and it doesn’t run well playing in Handheld mode, which is a major feature of the Switch. If you’re looking to fill your horror gaming needs, put this down towards the bottom of the list.

But perhaps in some cases it is best to simply not port a game if the target system is unable to maintain your vision, and you are unwilling to adjust it. If for some reason you're desperate to play this game on your Switch, play it docked. As a handheld experience, Hollow is unjustifiable.

Unfortunately, there really isn’t any kind of gamer that Hollow would be a recommendation for. It fails on all attempts at being a horror title while also being one of the most frustrating experiences on Nintendo Switch.

I have to say that Hollow is not a good game and that you will find better experiences from other games that launched on Switch around the same time as Hollow did

There's nothing that actually redeems Hollow. It's a B-grade Dead Space clone that follows the "rules" of horror without actually understanding any of them.
