This happened to myself recently with two games that I greedily bought without a second thought — Vampyr and Hollow Knight when it released on Switch . Both games I was immensely looking forward to and with both I hit the same wall. No matter how often I tried playing, every attempt to pick up the controller was met with my mind split between disinterest and intrigue. It becomes hard to tell if the brain is responding in a Pavlovian way for the shiny new toy or there is actual enthusiasm buried under the loss of focus for both games. Luckily it was the latter. There are, of course, times where a game is just not for you, but it was a relief knowing it was just a matter of time.

Markoth may not be the toughest boss in Hollow Knight, but he will still give you a run for your money. His revolving shields and constantly targeting projectiles make him an absolute pain to deal with. Although his health might not be absurdly high, he is tedious and frustrat

The Colosseum of Fools hosts some of the trickiest battles in the entire game , but it also contains a secret Simple Key. From the bench in this area, head right, then up into the main arena area that is blocked off by the cage wall on the l

In this title, players assume the role of a shinobi who fights to protect his master, the Divine Heir (who is a child). Some players have complained that the game is too difficult, but that's often what you'd expect in a souls-like game. If you're not into hard games, don't try Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice because you probably won't like

All the Simple Keys are interchangeable and identical . They can be obtained in any order; if you've missed one in your travels through Hallownest, you can always retrace your steps and the Simple Key will be waiting to be collected in its s

Those on PS4 have two free PS Plus games to look forward to in November, Hollowknightportal.Com with both Middle-earth: Shadow of War and Hollow Knight: Voidheart Edition joining the lineup. These games will be available to claim for free from November 3 to November 30, and thanks to PS5's backward compatibility with PS4 , they will be playable on the new console as w

This statistic puts the title's estimated revenue at over $25 million on PC alone. Since the game was released on numerous platforms, including iOS, Android, Xbox One, and PS4, Stardew Valley may have grossed nearly $50 million. It has earned so much revenue, and one person developed

The style of graphics is comparable to that of The Witness and World of Warcraft . It uses a muted cel-shaded approach that seems to work well in the game. Ashen borrows from the Souls titles but distinguishes itself from other copyc

Developer Chucklesfish sourced their cash flow by using crowdfunding. Starbound stayed in the early access phase for a great deal of time, but in the end, it was worth it. According to gamesindustry.biz, Starbound has sold over $2.5 million copies, putting their sales figures in the tens of millions of doll

There you are, finally sitting in the comfort of your own home all cozy with nom-noms and sweet-stickies (or not). You settle warmly into the cushions like they’re heaven on earth and you begin a fresh game. And soon an hour has passed and you're kind of bored; is it the game? Is it you? Maybe a little too much hype and excitement, you thought you tempered your expectations, but nope, that feeling of dissatisfaction gnaws at the back of your mind and so you turn the game off and play [insert literally any game.].

It's the last Wednesday of the month, which means Sony has announced the free PlayStation Plus games for November 2020. But with November 2020 seeing the launch of Sony's next-generation PS5 console, this month's PS Plus lineup is especially interesting. As it turns out, PlayStation Plus subscribers will be able to claim three free PS Plus games for November 2020, on top of all the games set to be featured in the PS Plus Collect

The highly acclaimed Hollow Knight is one of the best games on this list. The gameplay will suck you in the moment you start playing it. Also part of the Metroidvania genre, Hollow Knight was inspired by games such as Dark Souls , Metroid , and Castleva

It wasn’t until this week that Vampyr finally clicked. Soon I found myself picking up pace with the game and diving into the world like it was the deepest of pools. Hollow Knight clicked just the weekend before. Which begs another question, how does one know when they’re fatigued — possibly burning the candle at both ends? Remember to take breaks from games, there are a million things to do out in the world besides play games and falling prey to gaming fatigue isn’t all too difficult. This won’t be a health rant, just looking out. With such a large selection of games coming out through each year it’s easy to want to play them all, but keeping diligent and playing the ones worth it to you will make all the difference. It will cut down on game-time and won’t burn ones eyeballs out from looking at a screen all day.
