## Best picks by what you liked

- **Hollow Knight: Silksong** — same world style and developer (Team Cherry), playing as Hornet, with faster combat.

- **Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown** — tight combat, smart map tools and demanding platforming.
- **Blasphemous 1 and 2** — dark religious horror, punishing combat, somber tone.
- **Salt and Sanctuary** — 2D "Souls-like" with heavy weapons, builds and grim atmosphere.
- **Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night** — classic Castlevania-style castle with loot and RPG growth.
- **Ender Lilies** — melancholic atmosphere and a ruined world close to Hallownest's mood.
- **Nine Sols** — hard, parry-based boss fights in a hand-drawn world.
- **Dead Cells** — roguelite rather than a full metroidvania, but fast, skill-based combat.
- **Axiom Verge** — sci-fi exploration with lots of secrets.
