The rabbit race of creatures reminds me of the character format of Hollow Knight, albeit less creepy-crawly and spooky. I love the almost ‘Worms-esque’ feel to the levels in this game too – there are so many reasons why me and other people class Cave Story as one of the best indie games of all time, and that’s why it’s one of the most well known too! Exploration is key, as is that main thing that we all know from playing Hollow Knight – bosses that make you want to run home crying for your mama.Ĭave Story is pretty cheap to play on Steam, but you’ll need to look for Cave Story + if you want to grab a copy for your Nintendo Switch. Imagine if you crossed Castlevania with Oxygen Not Included, and you’ve got Cave Story in a nutshell. Cave Story (2017)Ĭave Story is another well-revered Metroidvania title that fans of Hollow Knight have turned to over the years. Plus you’ll recognise lots of other famous characters from the series too! 7. Rayman comes equipped with all of his usual moves and gizmos that we’ve come to love over the years including having the ability to run up walls. And I suppose I could be more impressed by this because I remember the days of Donkey Kong Country on the SNES, but it’s utterly amazing! Honestly, you forget that you’re playing a sidescroller from time to time. The levels capture that giddyness that we all felt the first time we dived into Rayman’s world back in 1995.Īnd the depth to each level is insane too.

Just look at that still above! Rayman games are mad from start to finish, there’s no doubt about that. … that seems a tad excessive, even for a vide game character! Rayman and Globox, along with the Teensies, have been asleep for one-hundred years… Legends follows directly on from Origins and brings all of the same epic side-scrolling action to our TV screens.

We’ve picked the Wii U version because it’s one of our most-turned-to games on the console and still looks fantastic today. Ok, so I bet everyone of you has played this game at least once during your lives so far on one of your consoles. Rayman Legends takes the 8th spot in our list of the best games like Hollow Knight!
