Now that multiple weeks have passed since Hollow Knight: Silksong‘s release, I’m sure many of you feel an immeasurable void in your heart you don’t know how to fill.
If Hades II weren’t consuming my life in the best possible way, I’d probably feel the same, but fortunately, there are plenty of games that can help ease the pain.
From titles that fall into the same genre to experiences that share the same essence, numerous adventures can replicate what your time in Pharloom made you feel, even if they aren’t exact replicas.
So, if you’ve just seen the true end of Hornet’s journey and want to find a new world to lose yourself in, I recommend the ten best games like Hollow Knight: Silksong.
10 Ори и Слепой Лес
The Beauty of Exploring
One of the first sensations I experienced with Silksong was the almost inexplicable desire to observe everything, and I feel this is a key characteristic of Ори и слепой лес.
Although there is a difference in the quality of execution between the two journeys, it’s undeniable Moon Studios’ title also captures the ineffable joy of seeing the map’s every nook and cranny, especially thanks to its audiovisual beauty.
The game’s movement mechanics are extremely fluid and pleasurable, making wandering through its beautiful landscapes as appealing to the eye as it is to the hands, even if it’s not as attractive in combat.
Add in its beautiful story and tremendous soundtrack, and you have a game that lives up to Silksong‘s core values, and that has the benefit of having an even more recommendable sequel waiting for you once you’ve finished it.
9 Кощунственный 2
Craving Completionism
Based on what I explained in the previous entry, there’s a consistent need to find 100% of Silksong‘s content; a craving I’ve only felt with similar force in Blasphemous 2.
While the first game in the franchise is excellent, the second is a substantial improvement in every aspect, including the satisfaction of searching for every last secret and overcoming every challenge in both platforming and combat (and not dying to spikes instantly).
The way Cvstodia gradually opens up is sensational, and the freedom we have to investigate everything and identify places we can’t yet access is what propels an adventure you’ll definitely strive to complete to the fullest.
Its bosses are incredible, as are its areas and gameplay progression, thus representing for богохульный почему Silksong represents for Hollow Knight.
8 Желаю вам приятной смерти
Mechanical Perfection
Когда я впервые сыграл Have a Nice Death, it felt like a pristine fusion of Hollow Knight и Мертвые клетки, so I think the similarity can easily extend to Silksong.
Through perfectly polished controls, tremendous precision in platforming and combat mechanics, and an elegant art design that makes you feel comfortable even looking at the screen, the emotions of playing the game are quite similar.
В отличие от Ори и слепой лес и Blasphemous 2, Have a Nice Death не совпадает Silksong in genre, though they offer a symmetrical approach to all types of enemy and boss encounters, so you could even swap the protagonists and not feel any of them are out of place.
With a strong emphasis on verticality and positioning, and with access to compelling weapons and powers, the act of fighting in both game is equally refined, which is a testament to Have a Nice Death’s quality considering the level of refinement Team Cherry has achieved over the years.
7 Разлученный
Impossible Scales
I found it fascinating Silksong opted for a larger scale in both environments and enemies, with bosses filling the entire screen during a fight, just as in Расколотый.
Comparatively, the aforementioned game features threats that can take up the equivalent of a dozen screens, but the importance of managing movement as much as combat becomes equally relevant.
Metroidvanias typically place a lot of emphasis on character agility, but they often limit it in some confrontations. Contrarily, Silksong и Расколотый combine them in seamless sequences where difficulty and precision are essential, with a level of difficulty that may drive you crazy (and you’ll love it).
If you like aerial combat, demanding platforming in the middle of fights, and a real final boss that will make you rethink your life decisions, I can think of few alternatives as relevant as Thunder Lotus Games’ masterpiece.
6 Гиперлегкий Дрифтер
Melancholy Made Adventure
There’s nothing I love more than immersing myself in melancholic video games whose sensations are quiet but sensitive, which is why I adore Hyper Light Бродяга от всего сердца.
The idea of wandering through a world whose language and nature you don’t understand, yet still having to move forward, overcoming the strange challenges that confront you, is masterful, and here it’s done with an incomparable atmosphere.
В то время как Silksong features NPCs, settlements, and a more traditional structure, the sense of journey and unease remains, never knowing what lies around the corner and always believing, however naively, it’s impossible to improve on what you’ve seen so far.
Two in crescendos, two games that only know how to surpass themselves with every minute. By the time you finish both paths, I’m sure you’ll be a different person, because these odysseys are the kind that change your life.
5 Соль и Святилище
For Backtracking Fans
Given I played Salt and Sanctuary до Hollow Knight, the philosophy of backtracking so much to advance and discover secret areas captivated me even when I didn’t know Hallownest, and the same applies to Pharloom.
While the map size is different, the number of entire areas hidden behind obscure secrets is staggering, so much so that I have to commend the developers for taking the risk of having a massive amount of points of interest that the average player will miss out.
Weapons, covenants, bosses, lore… There are countless elements that players can miss if they don’t fully explore Salt and Sanctuary‘s world, and Silksong repeats the formula with so much hidden content that it would be overwhelming if it weren’t mind-blowingly good.
Безусловно, Salt and Sanctuary ends up leaning more towards the RPG side, but the structure that shapes both is undeniably similar and, it’s worth clarifying, equally brilliant.
4 Эндер Лилий: Квайетус Рыцарей
The Heir of Team Cherry
С Hollow Knight‘s release in 2017, many video games have attempted to capture the same passion, but I dare say none have done it quite like Эндер Лилии: Квайетус из рыцарей.
The predominantly gray color palette, hand-drawn graphics, devastating boss backgrounds, feeling of exploring the ruins of what was once a great civilization, and an unforgettable soundtrack filled with nostalgia make Ender Lilies a mirror of Hollow Knight in terms of the emotions I felt when playing it.
However, the mechanical similarity is much more akin to Silksong, Где the tools and Crests Hornet has at her disposal are considerably reminiscent of the summons Lily can make during her journey through Land’s End, creating varied and highly adaptable gameplay for the player.
In this sense, if you’re looking for a Metroidvania that’s as similar as possible to Team Cherry’s franchise, я не сомневаюсь Ender Lilies will always be the most precise answer. Whether by mechanics, vibes, or intentions, it’s the true heir to the genre’s king and queen.
3 Животный колодец
A Game About Layers
Remember how naive you looked when you defeated Grand Mother Silk and thought there was nothing left to do? That’s the feeling you’ll experience a thousand times over in Колодец для животных.
Just when you think you’ve seen it all and that there truly is no way there’s anything else to do, the game reveals three more layers of depth with new mechanics, puzzles, and areas that make you think the game wasn’t made by humans.
Да, Колодец для животных doesn’t have combat, and fighting is a fundamental part of Silksong, но очень few titles have the same ability to surprise you more and more every hour with dozens of new features that are literally incredible.
I’m a player who is guided as much by what I see as by what I feel, and the stimuli Колодец для животных gives me and the way my mind receives them are absurdly similar to those in Silksong, so I’ll follow my heart and award this Metroidbrainia marvel a bronze medal.
2 Девять Солов
Its Finest Spiritual Ancestor
Ясно Silksong‘s main focus is on improving upon what its most direct predecessor did, but I wouldn’t be at all surprised if Team Cherry looked to Девять солей для вдохновения.
Aside from the inclusion of a formal parry that somewhat resembles Yi’s damage-returning abilities, Девять солей is mechanically the most refined metroidvania on the market that doesn’t have “Hollow” in its name, so the parity is there.
Now add the art design, a combination of medieval elements with science fiction and music, NPCs with deep backstories that ultimately shape the campaign’s fate, and bosses more complex than a university thesis, and it’s effortless to see the parallels.
In the same way Hollow Knight влияние Девять солей, I genuinely believe the latter was a partial muse for Silksong, особенно с I don’t think it’s a coincidence both have such an unusual difficulty curve by genre standards.
1 Элден Кольцо
The Only One at Its Level
It’s funny that the game Hollow Knight: Silksong most resembles is the one that looks the most different on the surface, but for me, Elden Ring is the only one that truly matches it.
If you’re looking for a journey that won’t cease to surprise you even after 50 hours, crafted with immeasurable love, that is the pinnacle of the formula it belongs to, and will have you spending the following weeks thinking about everything you experienced, only these two can deliver.
Turning the act of discovery magical isn’t a simple task, which is why most games shy away from it. They all tend to take a couple of concepts and carefully refine them, though Silksong и Elden Ring share the same unbridled ambition to make everything much bigger, намного лучше, and much more unexpected.
In the process, they will disappoint some, as not everyone will be a fan of finding a new area with three hours of content and four bosses just when you thought it was time to see the end. Nevertheless, they will also amaze others, those who rejoice in the immense dimensions of unprecedented quality.
There are titles that have Hollow Knight: Silksong‘s combat style, its aesthetics, or its structure, but Важно Elden Ring has its exact feel, so it’s my heartfelt recommendation if you’re looking to relive it.
