Hollow Knight captured the hearts of fans all over the world when it released in 2017, and the fact that the buzz surrounding this title is still strong to this day is a testament to just how brilliant the Metroidvania really is. In fact, one of the major reasons why Hollow Knight has garnered so much attention is that it's also a Soulsl
Players take control of Juan Aguacate, a luchador a.k.a. a Mexican professional wrestler, on a quest to save the "Mexiverse" from Salvador, a corrupted luchador from the Darkest Timeline. In our Guacamelee! 2 review , we praised the sequel for being "bigger and better than the first game while retaining the original's charm, humor, eye-catching art style, and rewarding Metroidvania-style gamepl
This may have the least to do with Hollow Knight , but it's somewhat relevant. The reason it made it on the list is because it has excellent animations for a sprite-based game. It’s a shooter in the vein of a 2D Borderlands mixed with Monster Hunt
Hollow Knight 's gameplay is just as gripping as anything in Dark Souls – if not more so– but there are plenty of Soulslikes that outdo the 2017 indie. So, when one talks about the best Soulslikes to have ever released, Hollow Knight is definitely a part of this conversation... along with five other titles that may just be better than this amazing g
But regardless of the number of notches the Knight has, this notch system forces players to pick and choose which charms to equip at any one time. This encourages players to change out their charm loadout through the game and to tailor their charm combinations depending on the situat
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
Undertale is also a change in gameplay as it’s an RPG, but one that breaks the mold. It too created a huge fan base online due to this subversion of the genre along with it feeling like the cult classic, EarthBou

Exploring every nook and cranny of this intriguing world is a marvelous experience and something that no self-respecting fan of good Metroidvanias should miss out
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!
Bloodstained is the most recent Metroidvania on this list as of 2019. It falls more in line with the "vania" part of the equation as it is truly emulating Castlevania from the look, RPG elements, castle, and so on. It’s not as ominous as Hollow Knight and it falls on the easier side if one grinds enough. That said it does have a fun gameplay loop filled with lots of secrets to uncover while exploring the castle’s dep
Originally announced as a single-player story DLC for Uncharted 4: A Thief's End , Naughty Dog's vision and goals for Uncharted: The Lost Legacy quickly became far too ambitious and became its own standalone game. Stepping away from Nathan Drake, this time around Chloe Fraser is the star of the show in search of the legendary tusk of Ganesh in India's Western Ghats. Uncharted: The Lost Legacy is a smaller, personal story that proved there's life in the series with or without its central protagon
The charm of Hollow Knight is something that has already been discussed in detail, and this charm is what makes most of the characters in Hollow Knight feel as fleshed out and endearing as can be. Interacting with any of the numerous NPCs present all across the world of Hollow Knight is always a highlight of the game, and adds moments of levity to an experience that is generally quite nerve-wrack
It's the last Wednesday of the month, which means Sony has announced the free PlayStation Plus games for November 2020. But with November 2020 seeing the launch of Sony's next-generation PS5 console, this month's PS Plus lineup is especially interesting.
