After years and years, from the Vita to the Steam Deck now, I finally got the 100%. What a magnificent game. It has the best exploration of any game I've ever played!1 found this helpful

A wonderful exploration platformer with a huge area to discover! The scenery and music make it a joy to just explore and wander around at first and the jumping and timing puzzles often seem impossible at first but (at least for me) they are tremendously satisfying to solve and when you pull them off, you really feel accomplishment. The fixed save points and the long ways in between items and quests are on the border of too much. The atmosphere, however, makes up for that.1 found this helpful
Yes, I can recommend Knytt Underground to other players. But only very, very specific players. If you're interested in game design and game mechanics, there's a lot to gain by exploring Knytt Underground. Rather than sequencing a traditional Metroidvania where progress is gated by traversal abilities (higher jumps, grappling hooks, stronger bombs) this game gates progress with methods of traversal you technically already have, but which the game hasn't explicitly taught you how to use yet. You don't enter a room and get super high jump boots, you enter a room and realize, based on the arc the room traces, how to use your existing movement in a totally new way. It's so clever, so well-implemented, and it rewards you with surprising and visually striking new environments replete with their own lessons to teach. Generally, those lessons follow a theme: "no, explore that deeper. Probe that further. You think you can't get up there? Actually, I bet you can, if you strive harder." All of those tricks and those secrets make the world of Knytt Underground feel vibrant and alive. But the characters populating that world? Geez, are they hard to take. The character art falls far below p…
It's a good game, but the graphics has dated like a skimmed milk, it looks absolutely a** : the author hasn't even bothered to put in proper video settings, so you have to fiddle with 3rd party upscalers to make it look somewhat decent on anything larger than 720p (jfc). By default it'll look like a blurry pixel vomit on your 4k screen.
