Platforming up to the Traitor Lord is going to be one of your biggest struggles if you rely on dash-based charms, but it's perfectly feasible if you take your time. If you save Cloth in the Ancient Basin, she will join you in this fight and you can let her do some of the heavy lifting. Be quick on your d
Salt and Sanctuary is an indie RPG-platformer developed by a one-man studio. It's been accurately described by critics as a combination of Dark Souls and Castlevania . In particular, the game draws inspiration from 1997's Castlevania: Symphony of the Night . Proudly wearing the influence of these heavy-hitters on its sleeve, it's impressive that Salt and Sanctuary retains its own identity so well. The game uses a 2D, hand-drawn art-style that simply bleeds unsettling horror. As players guide their blank-slate protagonist across a dark and dangerous world, they must contend with evils both great and sm

PlayStation users in the dust. That is unless Sony decides to release another popular Metroidvania on PS Plus in April following the success of Ori and the Will of the Wisps, one that Moon Studios took heavy inspiration from - Hollow Knig
It’s nice finding that footing to play the games we knew we would love. It doesn’t always work out, but in my case it did and can for anyone. I look forward to the dynamic bloody streets of Vampyr or maybe some dungeon crawling through a labyrinth of a nest for a Hollow bug world (I’m honestly shook how good Hollow Knight is). My best advice: try and tough it out, be patient and know that eventually that feeling might come around. After all, you wouldn’t have bought the dang game otherwise.
Gameplay in Blasphemous follows in the footsteps of the Castlevania series. The Penitent One is armed with both sword and spell, and uses them to overcome all manner of monstrosities. As a result, players must learn the attack patterns of each new horror in order to smite it. The unpleasantly-named Bile Flasks take the role of healing items, and The Penitent One will respawn at the last checkpoint if his health is fully deple
Have you found yourself listening to the Hollow Knight soundtrack thinking, "You know what would be awesome? If all the orchestral parts of this music were stripped out and arranged solely for piano." If you have, I have some very good news for you. Hollow Knight Piano Collections features piano arrangements of a selection of the game's sc
While Hollow Knight's first battle against Hornet is a little challenging, it isn't too hard when compared to the second battle. Her special weapon is capable of pulling off moves with much more range than most enemies. The spiky traps strewn across the arena can also reduce your mobility, throwing you headfirst into a situation where you need to make every move carefu
Hollow Knight , the Metroidvania action-adventure from Team Cherry, is considered one of the finest examples of its genre. In the game, players take control of a nameless insect-like knight as they traverse the kingdom of Hallownest. It's a dark world, decaying and plague-ridden, with many of its insectoid inhabitants already fallen to the spreading infection. Hollow Knight 's story is just as sinister, and has multiple endings depending on the player's acti
This happened to myself recently with two games that I greedily bought without a second thought — Vampyr and Hollow Knight when it released on Switch . Both games I was immensely looking forward to and with both I hit the same wall. No matter how often I tried playing, every attempt to pick up the controller was met with my mind split between disinterest and intrigue. It becomes hard to tell if the brain is responding in a Pavlovian way for the shiny new toy or there is actual enthusiasm buried under the loss of focus for both games. Luckily it was the latter. There are, of course, times where a game is just not for you, but it was a relief knowing it was just a matter of time.
If you need to wait out an attack, stay up against the left side or take the high point of the middle platform. Dashing is a great way to nullify Nosk's sudden damage. Don't stay still for too long because his infection can track
There you are, finally sitting in the comfort of your own home all cozy with nom-noms and sweet-stickies (or not). You settle warmly into the cushions like they’re heaven on earth and you begin a fresh game. And soon an hour has passed and you're kind of bored; is it the game? Is it you? Maybe a little too much hype and excitement, you thought you tempered your expectations, but nope, that feeling of dissatisfaction gnaws at the back of your mind and so you turn the game off and play [insert literally any game.].
