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.
