Every Area In Hollow Knight, Ranked

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

Regardless of which came first, Monster Hunter: World is a phenomenal game in the Monster Hunter series and is a worthwhile journey through the New World. The story is more engaging as you progress and enemies such as the Elder Dragons keep the game interesting. It's a more controversial pick as a Souls-like, but the comparison is there to be dr

In 2008, J.J. Abrams' science fiction drama Fringe premiered on FOX to stellar ratings, earning it a spot as the fifth most watched show of the week. Over the next five seasons while on the air, the series would go on to gain a cult following and turned its stars into bonafide genre celebrities. But the greatest of the main three to benefit from all the fame might have to be Australian actor John Noble, who until then was mainly known for his supporting part in The Lord of the Rin

Hollow Knight is a Metroidvania game where gamers play as a nameless bug who is often referred to as the Knight. Entering the land of Hallownest, the player is encouraged to explore and fight their way through the old and dying lands of a once-mighty insect king

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

Without much to draw interest, the Ancient Basin is not one of the greatest areas in the game. One thing that does stand out is the Palace Grounds, an area to the east of the Ancient Basin region. This is where the Pale King decided to build his palace, and from it, the rest of the kingdom was built outwards. It has some interesting lore but pales in comparison to other ar

If you are a talented pianist, you can also buy the sheet music for Hollow Knight Piano Collections . There is both a physical version, which costs $25, and a digital version, which costs $15. It should be noted that the sheet music does not come with the actual music. You will still need to purchase the album if you want to listen to

In a collaboration with Materia Collective and Team Cherry, Hollow Knight endings|https://hollowknightportal.com/ Knight Piano Collections is an album with 15 tracks from the Hollow Knight Original Soundtrack . Originally composed by Christopher Larkin, this selection is arranged by David Peacock and performed by Augustine Mayuga entirely on piano. While they aren't exact recreations of the songs, they are faithful reinterpretations that do sound quite lovely. That is if the one track I heard is indicative of the entire product. Here is the full trackl

So, since the sequel, Hollow Knight: Silksong , probably won't be coming out this year, here are some games to play in the meantime. They all have a common theme to Hollow Knight whether they are Metroidvanias, indie games, have great art, or star bugs. Dark Souls is a somewhat obvious, bonus p

Is it any surprise that a sewer finds its place at the bottom of this list? The Royal Waterways are pretty and even somewhat calm, but at the end of the day, we all know ‘Royal Waterways’ is a nice way of saying ‘the plumbing system for the City of Tears

Sundered is very similar in design to Dead Cells , but it has the art aesthetic of Hollow Knight . To be clear, it’s a roguelike with Metroidvania elements, but it is one big open maze that can be tackled in a number of ways. It also has a pretty robust skill tree which is necessary because this game is going to kick the player in the behind. That is to say, expect some heavy grind

Noble recently sat down for a press interview at MCM Comic Con in London, where he talked about his burgeoning career; Sleepy Hollow season 3; his past work on Fringe ; and whether he'll do more voice-over work after Batman: Arkham Knight . You can watch the video above, but here are some excer

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

The game has features like spells, nail arts, and a relatively simple combat system. But one of the more prominent features is the charm system. Capable of giving the player character a variety of effects, the use of charms allows players to enhance or customize their combat styles depending on which charms they choose to eq

These corridors are home to a ton of large fungi, many of which are bouncy and used in platforming challenges, while others are enemies that don’t take too kindly to outsiders . The southern portion contains the Mantis Village, home to one of the coolest but most difficult bosses in the game - the Mantis Lo
