Hollow Knight

Computers and IT, Games10/10, 2d, adventure, jump-n-run, kids, platform, puzzle, single player

Hollow Knight is a beautiful and, in parts, ridiculously hard 2D platform action-adventure game in which players must guide the main character, the Knight, through a maze of underground worlds and districts, fighting numerous bosses along the way.

The game is extremely captivating and addictive, but also frustrating at times due to the high number of failures. It also brought back nice memories of the Ori games as well as Unbound: Worlds Apart. I’m not sure how to achieve things like finishing the game in under five hours, given that it took me over fifty hours to explore everything.

Anyway, I loved playing the game and I’m looking forward to playing part two at some point.

Vessel

Vessel is a fun little puzzle-platform game where one has to guide the main character through various puzzles in a world bullied by so-called Fluros (in fact created by the main character himself).

The graphics is maybe not the greatest, but I had lots of fun with the gameplay / skills of the character and the puzzles, so you might want to give it a go …

Little Nightmares II

Little Nightmares II is – just like its predecessor, to which it is a prequel – an absolutely beautiful and fantastic, scary, puzzle-platform horror adventure game. This time one guides a little boy, later joined by the girl know from part one, through dark yet beautifully crafted levels.

I’m definitely not a big fan of horror games and had my moments with both parts, but once again, it’s been an absolute delight playing this game and I do look forward to playing part three, apparently coming out in 2025.

Röki

Röki is a very nice 3D adventure video game where you guide Tove, a young girl, through a mission to rescue her younger brother Lars from Röki, a monster from the pages of a fairy tale.

In the course of her journey Tove meets many fairy tale creatures and has to solve many (not too hard) puzzles. To solve some of these puzzles, you have to switch between controlling different abilities (masks) and even characters (Tove and her father).

Röki’s plot is beautiful, rich and a little tragic, the cel-shaded graphics look nice and there are lots of little details and some hard-to-find achievements. I certainly enjoyed playing Röki.

Planet of Lana

Planet of Lana is a beautifully crafted 2D puzzle platformer in which you must guide a girl named Lana and her little cat-like friend in their fight against a robot army invading their home planet.

A wonderful story told without any real words, really nice graphics and a memorable soundtrack with matching soundscapes made this game a lot of fun to play. Maybe not the hardest puzzles and not the longest game, but I am very happy to have found this gem.
