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

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

This is a bit of a cheap tactic but it is still available. Did you know that so long as the player doesn’t sit on a bench most enemies don’t respawn ? If that sounds like something the player can exploit to make this quest easier, that is because it can. All it requires is the player to spend some extra time clearing their intended travel path. The end result with be a road mostly devoid of enemies. But even though the player has a mostly clear path, they should still be cautious of environmental hazards and enemies that may still be aro

Sony began the year of PS Plus with Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection , a remastered collection of the first three games in the series. With developer Naughty Dog's next big game , The Last of Us Part 2 a little over two months away from being released, there's another great spin-off game that didn't receive quite the same love as its numbered predecessors and would be a fantastic pick as a PS Plus title for anyone that missed it: Uncharted: The Lost Lega

Most good Metroidvanias thrive on satisfying players out of the mere act of exploration itself, and Hollow Knight is no exception to this golden rule. 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

Being set in the bug-dominated world of Hollow Knight , players are expected to explore and fight through the fallen kingdom of Hallownest. While traveling through various environments, players will eventually find out how to stop the infection and work toward entering the Temple of the Black Egg. Eventually, the Knight will defeat the actual Hollow Knight and (potentially) the Radiance. The infection is dealt with and the kingdom is able to persist for a little while longer. The player has beaten the game. So now w

Created by Australian developer Team Cherry, Hollow Knight is a 2D Metroidvania action-adventure game that tells the story of an insectoid Knight that's set out to uncover the secrets of a long-abandoned underground insect kingdom called Hallownest. Team Cherry combined elements of games like Super Metroid, Celeste, and Dark Souls to create this challenging but rewarding experience where players must make there way into the depths of Hallownest, discover new regions, defeat bosses, and learn how to perfectly execute attacks and traver

With these combinations resulting in a variety of effects, it is recommended that players take the time to experiment with their charm loadout. See what works with their preferred playstyle, what only works for certain situations, or just try out different charm combos to see what happ

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

There's no denying that Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is the definitive game to play for anyone who wants to scratch their Soulsborne itch. The deflection mechanic, stealth, ninja tools, and a host of other combat moves have contributed to Sekiro being perhaps the most dynamic From Software game around , with entire combat scenarios completely altered at the drop of a hat with the player's acti

Allowing players to explore a fallen bug kingdom, hollowknightportal.com blog entry Hollow Knight is a metroidvania game where players can fight difficult bosses and collect several charms. One of the more infamous unmarked quests in the game involves transporting a pale flower from one side of the map to the other. The catch? The Knight can’t use the stag ways and can’t take any damage. Otherwise, the delicate flower will be destroyed and the Knight will be forced to go back and start from the beginn

As mentioned in the intro, charms have a variety of effects. They can lengthen the player’s nail, surround the Knight with a shield, increase their running speed, etc. Each effect is described in the charm’s description. But what the game doesn’t tell the player is how several of these charms can be used together to create impressive charm combos. Some of them are relatively expec
