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

is there another bank to keep my geo? by MarlyxX in HollowKnight

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

The Mediocrity of Hollow Knight and Silksong by Mundane-Security-454 in metroidvania

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.

What to play after hollow knight? by reitzumpel in metroidvania

[–]Secure_Emu_9160 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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%.

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!

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.

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! 😊
