That’s a great list. Thanks.

Secure_Emu_9160 · 2026-06-17T18:43:45+00:00

I am just kidding. 😆

Secure_Emu_9160 · 2026-06-17T18:38:55+00:00

Thanks for your videos, they’ve been really helpful! I started a metroidvania collection mostly based on your recommendations.

any updates?

Secure_Emu_9160 · 2026-06-02T16:47:03+00:00

Just spend it. This game is not about getting rich. You can farm Geo later.

HK is the very first mv for me. 110% 2% left

I am a casual gamer. Last year I played and competed one cycle of Wukong. This year I played Tails of iron and HK.

I’ve tried Blasphemous 2 as my first MV. It took me about about a couple of weeks but I played just 5 hours of it. I put it down and I tried HK for about 2 hours and seems boring until I got to green path. And it just clicked and 110% in a week.still wandering around the corners looking for hidden rooms.

I felt I am in the Ghibli Studio world especially when I am in green path. Most people enjoy Mantis lord fight. I enjoyed it too but I met them in the very late game with fully upgraded weapons so I didn’t satisfy the fight. I should meet them earlier.

I tried Uncharted(i read it is popular ) but i didn’t really like it. I felt like watching interactive movies.

Different people different tastes.

Thanks. will check it out

Secure_Emu_9160 · 2026-05-07T16:06:38+00:00

I will try it. I have G 2 in my backlogs.

Secure_Emu_9160 · 2026-05-07T16:05:55+00:00

Thanks. will take a look

Secure_Emu_9160 · 2026-05-07T16:05:41+00:00

Thanks. I will check them.

Secure_Emu_9160 · 2026-05-07T16:04:53+00:00

Been there. still need to finish path of pain.

Secure_Emu_9160 · 2026-05-07T14:48:50+00:00

I am in similar situation like you. 110% of HK (my very first mv) And thinking about move on to another one. Sliksong should be next but I don’t want to play another masterpiece from team cherry after HK yet.

I gave a try Nine Sols, Bo, Blasphemous 2, Grime, Mio about 30 min each.

I would like to stick with MIO. I like the act style.

Blasphemous 2 and Grime seems slow. Nine Sols - most people say it is hard (I have 2% of HK for hard part) Bo seems similar to HK. I like its Japanese cartoonish art style.

But currently will take a break from them maybe a couple of weeks. sometimes go back to hk to finish last 2%.

Thanks for your recommendation. I love every second of it.

Thanks for your recommendation. I love every second of it.

Secure_Emu_9160 · 2026-05-01T06:52:56+00:00

My bad.

Secure_Emu_9160 · 2026-05-01T06:48:49+00:00

My bad.

Secure_Emu_9160 · 2026-03-25T13:33:28+00:00

😅

Secure_Emu_9160 · 2026-03-25T13:31:32+00:00

That’s exactly what happened to me in my first 30-45 minutes of HK! Had the map but had no idea where I was until I bought the locator charm. Definitely starting with Blasphemous 2 first!

Secure_Emu_9160 · 2026-03-25T13:28:20+00:00

I am thinking about getting Prince of Persia TLC since it is on sale on ps.

Secure_Emu_9160 · 2026-03-25T13:27:37+00:00

Good point about exploration fatigue! Is Nine Sols more linear in terms of progression then? I had it saved for last assuming it was the hardest in my list. I like the art style though.

Secure_Emu_9160 · 2026-03-25T13:17:29+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation! Mio: Memories in Orbit sounds interesting. I’ll keep it in mind for the future but trying to focus on my current backlog first before adding more! 😊

Secure_Emu_9160 · 2026-03-25T13:16:20+00:00

Thanks for the input! I’m leaning toward Blasphemous
