![]() Getting lost with little directions is definitely my thing in game.Īnd I'm done, Radiance is beaten. In general I love things that are not ordered or clearly define. Again for me it's Dark Souls in 2D, which I love. I am not an expert with Metroidvania so what do you think make it "bad" ?įor me the game is about getting lost and try different pathways to see where it leads. Also, because of its smaller budgets, the environments are a lot more repetitive which makes navigating it harder than it should be since it's so damn big and some areas tend to look samey so you get lost more easily.Īnyway, rambling aside, I would rank Ori and the Will of the Wisps as one of the top platformers ever but not really among the best Metroidvanias if that makes sense.Ĭlick to expand.It's funny I saw several complaints, in this thread, with exploration in this game but I never had a problem.

Featuring mainly bowed strings instruments as well as piano and harp, it always delivers. Mainly melancholic and sad, often charming and definitely bombastic during boss fight. Then add to that a flawless soundtrack which works so well with the environment or boss it highlights. It captures all the elements that define the Soulsborne genre for me.Ĭryptic and vague storytelling, charming NPCs, melancholic world and atmosphere. Hollow Knight is the game that gave me the closest experience I had when I experienced Dark Souls for the first time. After a long and beautiful playthrough it took a spot just next to Dark Souls at the top of my "Best game ever made" ranking.
