Mina the Hollower reviewed by Samuel Claiborn on PC, also available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2. Mina The Hollower will burrow into your brain and set up a cozy little house there. And I couldn’t let it go: Clues to unsolved puzzles pop into my brain before bed; a spot high out of reach that I never set foot on beckons me every time I pass it; that secret boss that destroyed me could be beatable with one really good grinding spot. Mina achieves the same heights in both action and style that its impressive inspirations reach on a regular basis, be that Zelda, Castlevania, or FromSoft RPGs. Even if all you’ve played is Breath of the Wild and Elden Ring, don’t let the retro look fool you: Mina the Hollower will scratch the same itch, with an open world that’s crammed with mysteries worth exploring and lively, clever combat I couldn’t get enough of. It’s a big game in a small package, and an absolute masterpiece of an adventure. #IGN #MinaTheHollower #Review

Finally a game that will take ps5 pro to the edge
Holy shit, I was optimistic but didn't expect a 10. Happy for Yacht Club, but now I'm almost worried my expectations are TOO high. All the same, can't wait to get my hands on it.
So ready to dive into this one and feel like a kid again.
I am SO excited for this. Seeing that 10 in the thumbnail put the biggest smile on my face
Been a while since Sam review a game. Great as always.
Hearing that use of the phrase "turn of the century" just turned me to dust.
looks very similar to pipistrello and the cursed yoyo, which is a great game
Turn of the century zeldas made me feel oldddddd man
10/10, absolutely expected. From the demo alone, it was obvious how well-crafted the game is.
This is the Dark Souls of the Mina the Hollower series
We need more Link to the Past style games
I find it hilarious how big companies advertise all these next-gen graphics features... then a game like this wins game of the year.
Sam Claiborn is one of the OGs. Glad to see that he is the one reviewing this game, and I'm also happy that he rated it so highly. Can't wait to play it!
From the moment I played the demo I knew this was gonna be a banger
This looks like an absolute joy to play! Super stoked to pick this one up.
What a game. After 2 weeks of playing for my own review, it's Easily a 10
as someone who frequently flip flops between my PS5 and my Switch 2, this right here is a perfect example of why Nintendo platforms shouldn't strictly be used for exclusives because this seems like a perfect game for the Switch.
I had high expectations coming from e621, so this is nice.
Demo was amazing. Knew it would deliver.
Wow. Excited for this one! But I'll wait for a physical release.
