Other games like this? ( with a lesser difficulty )

[Andrew R]

Besides the obvious like Inside, ( beaten ) Limbo, Owlboy, ect. Please list as many as you can and I prefer indie. :D

Guacamelee and Outland are also great metroidvania games.

Salt and Sanctuary is supposed to be very similar to Hollow Knight, in that they both seem stylistically related to Dark Souls. By Salt and Sanctuary is very complex, and probably requires a controller to play. I gave up on it because the controls were completely ♥♥♥♥ on my keyboard and just way too many buttons you need to learn all at once.

i disagree, the game was easy to play with keyboard, imo better than controller for that game. cant recommend s&s enough btw OP, hollow knight reminded me of it as soon as i started playing.

Valdis Story and Ori and the Blind Forest are the two I'd recommend among those on steam.

Guacamelee, too.

I appreciate the responses.

I'm pretty much set on Environmental Station Alpha. :) ( I only have 10 bucks and own almost all the others )

There is also "Treasure Adventure Game", a huge metroidvania with quite deep lore. I'd argue, though, that some levels there may be harder than certain parts of HK. It is not on Steam, but a remake of it was on Greenlight, I don't know its status there though.

Aside from Lore aspects and the currency system, Hollow Knight has nothing to do with Souls in execution, whereas Salt does.

I've noticed several of these interesting games are not on Steam...:P

Yep. The original Momodora is not, because it's simply too dated by now and doesn't even feature controller support, even though it's still a decent metroidvania that takes strong inspiration from Cave Story.

Iji is a free game, and its developer doesn't see the point of bringing it to Steam because it's also quite old by now, and the graphics are a bit subpar, although I think that's not the grounds to judge a game on.

Not sure about Treasure Adventure Game, but I own it on GOG, it's also a good one, with the focus on (you guessed it) adventures, sea-faring and jolly good time.

I forgot to name La-Mulana. It's awesome, but it's olschool, so the gameplay isn't like Hollow Knight.

100% recommend Valdis Story, but it's much harder than this game

[ProfessorElz]

Valdis Story, Symphony of The Night, Gaucamelee, Shadow Complex, Axiom Verge, Salt and Sanctuary, Momodora 4.

I think I may be one of the few who were extremely disappointed by Salt & Sanctuary.

Ori is a fun, cute game. I had an absolute blast with the Momodora games. The thing I liked most about the recent Momodora is that the combat has an impactful feel similarly to how Hollow Knight pulls it off.

I can't really think of any other fantastic games I've played in this style at the moment, but I'll edit some in if I do. Overall, I'd say Hollow Knight is my favorite of the bunch.

Momodora 4 is the game that I've played that's the most like Hollow Knight, but it is much MUCH shorter, and just not as cute.

Owlboy is metroidvania? I always thought it looked interesting, but the title sudders.
