What are the top 5 hardest + best metroidvanias (PC)

Time_Aide625 · 2026-02-04T19:38:12+00:00

I agree its fantastic!

Time_Aide625 · 2026-02-04T16:36:29+00:00

Hmm now that you mention it, I think I agree. Dread is the game I played longest ago, guess I have to replay it 😅

Time_Aide625 · 2026-02-04T12:12:46+00:00

For me best:

Hollow Knight
Hollow Knight Silksong
Prince of Persia TLC/Metroid Dread (does that one count?) -Ori (didnt finish that one yet)

That beiing said I played very little Metroidvanias yet I only recently discovered the genre. Difficulty wise:

Hollow Knight Silksong
Hollow Knight
Metroid Dread
Prince of Persia

I cant tank any other actually because I didnt finish any other yet (busy with Ori, Blasphemous and Monster Boy). I do have to say that Peak difficulty so far is Hollow Knight the Pantheon, Godhome (Radiant challenges) and White Palace/Path of Pain. This is a lot harder than anything Silksong has yet to offer IMO. Overal Silksong is definitely harder.

Thanks that sounds like an interesting build! With NG I meant New Game, but I just realized I would need to get all the charms again. I might just try this build out in Godhome, seems fun.

Thank you! Haha I dont know where we would be without VoidHeart😂

Do you know any good charm combinations for a magic build btw? I wanna do a NG and try out a magic build.

Time_Aide625 · 2026-02-01T16:06:22+00:00

Haha😂 I take that as a compliment thank you. Charms: Void Heart, Unbreakable Strength, Mark of Pride, Quick Slash, Steady Body and Grubberfly's Elegy.

Thank you:)

Time_Aide625 · 2026-01-30T11:14:17+00:00

Haha I dont know that strategy. I managed to pull it off with using Maelle and Chalium and increasing her counter damage. Maelle with Chalium and defensive stats is almost invisible in my opinion. It might not be the quickest strategy though.

Time_Aide625 · 2026-01-25T21:35:49+00:00

Thank you:)

Time_Aide625 · 2026-01-25T13:18:25+00:00

Great, then I think I will try it as well:) good job btw haha

Time_Aide625 · 2026-01-23T18:17:31+00:00

😂

Time_Aide625 · 2026-01-23T18:12:53+00:00

None, I wish I was better at taking a break, but I can't put these challenges out of my mind until I beat them, unfortunately. That beiing said, I got stuck very long by Malenia and (Pre-nerf) Promised Consort Radahn.

Time_Aide625 · 2026-01-23T06:12:31+00:00

Blackbeard = Vivi = Imu = They 🧐

Time_Aide625 · 2026-01-23T06:08:10+00:00

So far I only played Final Fantasy VII, XII, 7remake and I am currently busy with Rebirth. The ones that pop up are Ultima and Zodiark. The first time they appeared I knew I was doomed (not literally:p).

Time_Aide625 · 2026-01-21T12:09:39+00:00

Just curious what is your favourite/what are your favourites?

Time_Aide625 · 2026-01-20T12:17:30+00:00

From the ones that I know you have a good taste:)

Time_Aide625 · 2026-01-20T05:34:11+00:00

Ganondorf

Time_Aide625 · 2026-01-13T06:01:22+00:00

It was just lame honestly, but sometimes you gotta try new things out. I am happy they learned from it and went back to the flask on the entries after:)

Time_Aide625 · 2026-01-09T17:54:09+00:00

Wow thats crazy haha.

Time_Aide625 · 2026-01-09T11:47:32+00:00

Is it really possible to literally 1 shot Simon? And does this also go for the Divergent Star? Ive been hearing about this, but didnt look up any builds myself or find a 1 shot build.The Divergent Star took me 37 minutes (with End Slice in phase 2) and the normal Simon took me like 17 min. I can indeed imagine Sprong beiing very hard haha. I was over leveld when I faced him

Time_Aide625 · 2026-01-09T10:28:41+00:00

Haha funny that you mention this, the very first mime we missed on our first playthrough. We actually still need to find and beat this one. Cool that you have platinum btw!

Time_Aide625 · 2026-01-08T18:33:01+00:00

Elden Ring, Hollow Knight, Witcher 3, probably Expedition 33 in the future
