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.].

When it comes to where and when to use an item in Hollow Knight , it can seem like The Knight is sometimes collecting random knick-knacks just for the sake of it, with some early game items not having a real use until closer to the end of the game. One of the more abundant items that have plenty of uses throughout the majority of the game is the Simple K

Cuphead may not be a Metroidvania like the three above, but fans of Hollow Knight can appreciate it for the high difficulty and similar art style. That is to say, it is like playing an old cartoon mixed with a shooter akin to Contra . The music is also superb plus there is co-op as well. For those curious, it started off as an Xbox One exclusive but it’s now on Switch as w

As of April 2020, Terraria had sold in excess of 14 million units on PC alone. Given the huge number of platforms on which the game is now available, the total number of copies sold really is anybody's guess, though it's definitely above the 20 million mark . For those wondering, that equates to more than $200 million in reve

While looking forward to Silksong , Goldman learned that he had Ewing Sarcoma - an aggressive form of cancer that can metastasize from bone to lungs, spine, and other bones and soft tissues. Earlier this year Goldman’s caretakers informed him his case was terminal, with a prognosis of only a few more months to l

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

Goldman designed the boss’ look and named him after himself as a sort of memorial. Team Cherry was happy to work with Goldman, describing him as "a really cool young guy we were fortunate enough to meet and get to know." Team Cherry revealed Seth in a Reddit post teasing that he "guards a secret long forgotten and will attack any who stray too close", and "will fight until the very end, and beyond." Goldman got to see Seth in action before passing, "I saw some footage and he is amazing and fast." It was easy to read pride in another post where Goldman called Seth "a monst

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

**Updated July 15, 2023, by Sean Murray: ** As we all patiently await the release of Silksong, it's the perfect time to complete any content you missed from Hollow Knight abilities Knight, including the Simple Keys.

The Hollow Knight subreddit poured out support and appreciation for Goldman and Team Cherry. The news of his passing saddened many, but said that in honor of him they would be thinking of Goldman every time they encountered Seth in game. Wish gran

Of course, any list detailing indie success stories wouldn't be complete without Minecraft ; one of the highest-grossing video games of all time. The original Minecraft was developed by just one person named Markus 'Notch' Persson and is an anomaly in gaming due to it grossing way more than its development c

Any of the Simple Keys will open any of the following doors ; like much of Hollow Knight, there is plenty of flexibility when choosing where and when to use each key, although some opportunities will present themselves earlier than others in the g

Hollow Knight brings to life the bug's-eye view of a foreboding, lush world illuminated by rich atmospheric lighting. The shadow-insect hybrid player character named Knight must run, jump, and fly through the Metroid -esque levels while fighting hordes of other stylized foes. In fact, a sword-and-board (pin-and-coin?) Silksong bug warrior will be one of four bosses, named...S

Dead Cells has never gotten the credit it deserves, but's an incredibly fast paced game with some of the best combat in the genre. On its own merit, Dead Cells is a roguelike unlike any other and a must-play for anyone even remotely interested in 2D Soulsli
