10 Games To Play Like Hollow Knight

Created by Australian developer Team Cherry, Hollow Knight is a 2D Metroidvania action-adventure game that tells the story of an insectoid Knight that's set out to uncover the secrets of a long-abandoned underground insect kingdom called Hallownest. Team Cherry combined elements of games like Super Metroid, Hollowknightportal.Com Celeste, and Dark Souls to create this challenging but rewarding experience where players must make there way into the depths of Hallownest, discover new regions, defeat bosses, and learn how to perfectly execute attacks and traver

Grubberfly’s Elegy: It allows the Knight to deal a special slash attack if they are at full health. This slash attack is far-reaching, allowing the Knight to take out enemies before they even come close to harming t

Deepnest is undeniably the creepiest and most unsettling area of Hallownest, with the sharp violins and heavy breathing acting as background music. As you uncover the secrets of the Pale Kingdom, it's hard to ignore your twin running from you through the shadows. If you follow your mimic, it will lead past previous victims that all dream of the mimicking be

Mark of Pride/Longnail: Both charms lengthen the character’s nail, allowing the player to strike enemies from a longer distance. They can even stack their effects on top of each other, giving the Knight the farthest reach possi

With the world in the middle of a global pandemic that's led to travel restrictions, toilet paper shortages, and the closure of major events worldwide including E3 2020 being canceled , more and more people are being forced to self-quarantine, work from home, and avoid going out in public whenever possible. All this time at home means more time to play great games and catch up on the backlog of missed games, (though everyone should be putting their health and health of others first), so it's important that Sony brings the goods each month with PlayStation Plus for this and a variety of other reasons. Here’s our complete PS Plus free games wish list for April 2

Yoku's Island Express is a Metroidvania pinball adventure. Now, that’s a new genre. It sounds weird but it worked so well. It also stars a bunch of bugs, but unlike Hollow Knight , it’s a lot more upbeat. This may be the best diversion to play immediately after finishing that game. Try not to smile when playing

There are few indie developers around that are as simultaneously revered and underrated as the Toronto based Drinkbox Studios. Making a name for itself during the age of PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita, Drinkbox is best known for indie hits such as Tales From Space: Mutant Blobs Attack , Guacamelee! , and Severed , and currently the only game that hasn't been released on PS Plus is the 2018 Metroidvania platformer , Guacamelee!

Last month, Sony surprised PlayStation Plus subscribers with a bonus PSVR game on top of the standard two PS4 games, a first for the subscription service in some time. Given that it was described as a bonus game, Sony made the point that fans shouldn't expect this to be a regular occurrence, only offering Shadow of the Colossus and Sonic Forces for the month of March. While Sony might begin adding PS5 games to the rotation once the new console release later this year, for now, fingers crossed that PSVR bonus games start to appear a little more frequen

Sony began the year of PS Plus with Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection , a remastered collection of the first three games in the series. With developer Naughty Dog's next big game , The Last of Us Part 2 a little over two months away from being released, there's another great spin-off game that didn't receive quite the same love as its numbered predecessors and would be a fantastic pick as a PS Plus title for anyone that missed it: Uncharted: The Lost Lega

That way, it makes the game still feel surprisingly fresh, responsive, and ahead of its time, even after all these years. If you are a Metroidvania fan, this is not just a "must-play" – it is a must-have, must-experience, must-everyth

Although this boss can swipe at you when you get close, it's not fast enough to stop you from getting in a few quick hits before running away. However, the problem with this strategy is that it is also able to shoot projectiles, meaning that you're never really s

Dead Cells is a roguelike primarily with Metroidvania elements. Players will explore randomly generated dungeons which usually have multiple exists. These can be accessed by gaining new abilities as one goes on. All levels lead to the same finale, but this simple change in the normal die and repeat gameplay at least gives it some extra flexibility. It also teeters on the difficult, grind-heavy side of thi

Speaking of sequels facing the impossible task of surpassing a masterpiece, it turns out Ori was not the only one! According to gaming critic reviews, Hollow Knight: Silksong managed to climb even higher than Team Cherry ’s original game – and I follow t
