Hollow Knight

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.

Unbound: Worlds Apart

Unbound: Worlds Apart is a fantastic, extremely well made and extremely challenging (for me at least) 2D puzzle platformer in which you guide a mage called Soli through a maze of puzzles using different types of portals and abilities.
The graphics are great, the soundtrack is great, but it did cost me some nerves as some of the challenges were annoyingly hard and here and there it needed the support of the next generation.

All in all, a wonderful game with great gameplay that’s a lot of fun to play (despite the difficulties I had). Definitely a recommendation, especially if you like games like Ori.

And Yet It Moves

And Yet It Moves is a tricky little puzzle-platform game with a very interesting game concept and lot’s of great – and sometimes annoying – challenges to solve.
In the game you have to guide an anonymous fella through a seemingly paper-cut world, but either walking and jumping or by rotating the whole world, yet keeping in mind always-present gravity and – even more important – momentum conservation.
AYIM dates back already to 2010, but it’s still lots of fun to play .. definitely a recommendation.

Ori and the Will of the Wisps

Ori and the Will of the Wisps is, just like the first part Ori and the Blind Forest, a fantastic game. I loved everything, from graphics to audio, from level design to interface, from riddles to story. It worth every penny and great entertainment.

Unfortunately I did not yet take screenshots when playing the game.
Maybe I’ll add some later …

Ori and the Blind Forest

Ori and the Blind Forest is a fantastic 2D platform-adventure game. From story to game play, from graphics to sounds, and from level design to creativity, it’s been a pleasure to play this game and I do highly recommend it.

Unfortunately I did not yet take screenshots when playing the game.
