However, even as the game teaches you to hone your skills and 'get good' you’ll find that a lot of the bosses will push you for everything that you are worth. Hollow Knight guide Knight’s hardest bosses will put you to the ultimate t

Undertale is not only one of the best indie games of the past decade, but one of the best games period. What makes this all the more impressive is the fact that the game was funded almost exclusively through Kickstarter , with a little over $50,000 pledged throughout the course of the campaign. To say that the game exceeded expectations would therefore be a bit of an understatem

And its remastered edition – Metroid Prime Remastered – only elevates that brilliance. It keeps the soul of the 2002 classic fully intact while giving it a modern shine, smoother controls adapted perfectly to the Nintendo Switch’s Joy-Cons, and a visual overhaul that makes the whole experience feel polished and timel

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

From developer Team Ninja, the creator of Ninja Gaiden , comes Nioh ; a widely acclaimed action role-playing game. What makes Nioh different from Dark Souls is that its missions are more linear as opposed to Dark Souls , which encourages explorat

The only isometric title on this list, Hades ditches platforming for a greater focus on visceral combat. The new title from Supergiant Games also falls firmly in the rogue-like camp, expecting players to make multiple runs. Despite these differences, Hades and Hollow Knight do actually have quite a lot in common. Both titles test their players against increasingly chaotic 2D battlegrounds, with evolving enemies and tactics. Likewise, both games use NPCs as both vendors and story-tellers, allowing the player to expand their understanding of the world along with their ski

Sometimes I catch myself thinking about how Hollow Knight ’s development story is still one of my favorites in the gaming industry. Not only because it was a Kickstarter project that barely reached its goal days before the campaign ended, but also because it serves as a brilliant reminder of how a simple idea can evolve into something truly signific

These days, most video games cost tens of millions of dollars to develop, with millions more being spent on marketing and post-release support. That's not to say that all modern games cost a fortune, however. The following titles cost relatively little to develop, yet they were still able to gross millions of dollars in sa

Many video games cost over $10 million to develop, but games like Stardew Valley prove that it's not always about money spent. With Stardew Valley , simplicity is key.

Developed by Spanish studio The Game Kitchen, Blasphemous is a gory and unsettling Metroidvania title. Players take on the role of The Penitent One, a wandering knight and sole survivor of the Brotherhood of the Silent Sorrow. The game's world of Cvstodia borrows heavily from Christian-iconography, with a particular Spanish-Catholic influence. Cvstodia twists this imagery into a hellish landscape, hallowed by an unknowable supernatural force called The Miracle. The game shares a tone with some of the best fantasy-horror out there, including FromSoftware's Bloodborne and Berserk , the influential dark-fantasy ma

Thanks in large to the questionable monetization tactics that some of them employ, mobile games now account for a significant chunk of modern video game spending, with billions of dollars being spent across the App and Google Play stores each and every month. Flappy Bird was one of the earliest viral success stories in this regard, with its creator at one point raking in more than $50,000 a day through in-app advertisi

Well, Metroid is basically the culprit for the "metroid" part in Metroidvania, so it could only feel fair to crown the top spot in this ranking with the very best game in the franchise, right? I’m happy we all ag
