It requires more power than it looks like it would. Doing a specs comparison couldn't hurt before buying it.

You'll probably experience lag in places, so be ready for that. It will make parts of the game harder than otherwise.
In case you are not already aware, Hollow knight is generally regarded as nontrivially difficult already.

So I'm running this game well below min specs on my old laptop and I managed to get it running smoothly by forcing the resolution smaller using the steam launch options. Even this small, the game still looks quite nice (albeit pixelly but it fits lol).
Type this into the console if need be.

-screen-width 640 -screen-height 360

Play around with the resolutions depending on your monitor, that's just what I used. You may not have to set it this small to get it running smoothly either.

Edit: I might add, there's going to be an update soon that'll optimize the game greatly so it should run a lot better by then.

my computers possibly an bit old, came via a friend of mine when she got an new one.
the game runs pretty well, with as mentioned some lag in some areas, but not many.

My laptop is pretty old and probably nowhere near specs, but I have pretty much zero lag outside of a single, rain-filled area in the game (and even then the lag wasn't problematic, just slightly annoying. Fully capable of dodging and doing a boss with it). If you have better system info, it will totally work.

the thing about minimum and reccomended specs is usually its based around the tech they tested the game on.
so sometimes its closer to full on correct, sometimes its a bit looser.
but then sometimes the minimum is meant for decent performance.
with each developer it differs, but sometimes they can be off to were lower specs can run games perfectly fine. :smilekit:
