Getting Into The Mood For Gaming Can Be Tough Sometimes

It’s nice finding that footing to play the games we knew we would love. It doesn’t always work out, but in my case it did and can for anyone. I look forward to the dynamic bloody streets of Vampyr or maybe some dungeon crawling through a labyrinth of a nest for a Hollow bug world (I’m honestly shook how good Hollow Knight is). My best advice: try and tough it out, be patient and know that eventually that feeling might come around. After all, you wouldn’t have bought the dang game otherwise.

Unbreakable Heart provides you with two additional masks of health - and it doesn't break upon death, unlike the Fragile one. This can be essential when dealing with the challenging foes and platforming sections in the kingdom of Hallown

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

And its remastered edition – Metroid Prime Remastered – only elevates that brilliance. It keeps the soul of the 2002 classic fully intact while giving it a modern shine, smoother controls adapted perfectly to the Nintendo Switch’s Joy-Cons, and a visual overhaul that makes the whole experience feel polished and timel

First off, PlayStation Plus subscribers on PS5 will be able to claim a free copy of Bugsnax . Bugsnax is a bizarre first-person game where players have to go around and capture creatures that are all based on food. Bugsnax 's strange premise and catchy theme song have helped it turn heads, and while some may have been hesitant to try the game if they had to pay for it, it being available for free on PS Plus means most PS5 owners have no reason not to give it a shot. PS Plus subscribers can claim Bugsnax for free from November 12 to January 4, 2021. The PS4 version of Bugsnax will not be a part of the PS Plus lineup in Novem

For most who play games, this feeling is completely understandable, unless you’re one of the few super-humans that can game for ludicrous amounts of time (looks at all streamers) then this happens to the best of us. It’s unfortunate when looking forward to a game only to be completely put off by it or feel disinterest in said game. No matter how bad you wanted to play it, it might just not be the time; a blockade. What does one do then? When having waited to buy ‘x’ game only to find disinterest; not everyone can afford games on a weekly basis and there's a massive selection to choose from. The first advice would be to tough it out. Maybe that game isn’t the one for now, but at least there are fallbacks until that moment of inspiration hits.

Aside from the obvious ability to deal damage more quickly against opponents, the Quick Slash Charm can be handy in certain platforming sections as well. Places where you must down-attack on hazards to move across an area are made much easier when you can attack fas

But yeah, the original Metroid Prime is a masterpiece at adapting the genre’s exploration, backtracking, and ability-gated progression into a first-person 3D space world. The result is a very immersive, atmospheric experience where every corridor hides a secret, and every upgrade genuinely changes how you approach the environm

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

And we all know that creating a follow-up to a beloved "instant classic" is one of the hardest feats in game development. Still, Will of the Wisps went there and simply delivered, which is why it is rated higher than Blind Forest (and even higher than Hollow Knight, we must not forg

Even though it carries a lot of emotional DNA from Hollow Knight, Silksong feels like a pretty damn refined successor, especially when it comes to level design , pacing, and world flow. From the very first second, you feel that its story progression is smoother and more direct, meaning it manages to be even more addict

Cuphead may not be a Metroidvania like the three above, but fans of Hollow Knight can appreciate it for the high difficulty and similar art style. That is to say, it is like playing an old cartoon mixed with a shooter akin to Contra . The music is also superb plus there is co-op as well. For those curious, it started off as an Xbox One exclusive but it’s now on Switch as w
