Hollow Knight by Team Cherry is one of the best indie games in recent memory. Its tough-as-nails difficulty, imaginative boss battles, and sprawling world design make it not just impressive for an independent developer, but also amazing solely on its own mer
Salt and Sanctuary is an indie RPG-platformer developed by a one-man studio. It's been accurately described by critics as a combination of Dark Souls and Castlevania . In particular, the game draws inspiration from 1997's Castlevania: Symphony of the Night . Proudly wearing the influence of these heavy-hitters on its sleeve, it's impressive that Salt and Sanctuary retains its own identity so well. The game uses a 2D, hand-drawn art-style that simply bleeds unsettling horror. As players guide their blank-slate protagonist across a dark and dangerous world, they must contend with evils both great and sm
Dark Souls has redefined action role-playing games by being an outlier in the genre. Because of its fame and unique gameplay, many consider Dark Souls to be a new genre and not one from a pre-existing category, along the lines of a Super Mario Kart or Do
From the world design to the boss fight and atmosphere, there's no game quite like Hollow Knight Map Guide|Https://Hollowknightportal.Com/ Knight . The Metroidvania has left an impact on the gaming industry in a mere short years, influencing indies everywhere to step up their game while also masterfully blending Soulslike mechanics into a dense Metroidvania setting. Hollow Knight appeals to fans of RPGs, action games, and large scale adventures alike. It's a game unlike any ot
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
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
As for where Noble might show up next, the actor says he's open to "whatever comes along." While he does enjoy voice over work, he doesn't see it as his direction in life. Noble's optimist outlook has clearly worked for him so far, and so he gives one parting thought at the end of the interview: "You just gotta, somehow or other, put one foot in front of the other. And hope can spring eternal. If you keep that attitude, who knows what doors will op
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
The game that is the most similar to the Dark Souls titles would have to be Bloodborne . Made by the same developer, FromSoftware , Bloodborne tells a more horrific tale and is more engaging the further you progress in the g
Since Fringe , Noble has been able to enjoy a healthy career in the U.S. and abroad. He joined the cast of Sleepy Hollow for two seasons and recently did voice-over work on Warner Bros' video game Batman: Arkham Knight , all while guest starring on series like The Good Wife and Forever . Apparently, the sky's the limit for the 66-year-old ac
Both of the Ori games have been particularly praised for their beautiful artwork and atmospheric audio. While the tone of the games might not be quite as dark as Hollow Knight 's, Ori's forest-home possess a melancholy, haunting beauty. The various twisted creatures that Ori must contend against are more classic Halloween fare. Some particular standouts are Shriek the insane, half-petrified owl, and Mora the spore-corrupted spider qu
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
"There's a new showrunner, and they've got a very simple brief, which is to reboot the show, go back to concentrate on the Ichabod and Abbie thing, which was the strength in the beginning. I'm so hopeful that it will come back, because it did lose its way... I thought the first season was fantastic, but with the second season, I really wondered what was going
