Hollow Knight or Slay the Spire


This is going purely off of word of mouth. On their faces, I don't think id enjoy either of them. That's kinda why I wanna buy one of them, challenge my comfort zone

Some popular indie games I like, for reference:

  • binding of isaac series
  • super meat boy
  • enter the gungeon
  • hotline miami
  • dead cells
  • hades
  • cuphead

Hollow Knight is a Metroidvania, but I didn't care for it at all. The art style, the combat, the platforming, nothing felt right to me. That said, it's a highly loved game, I'm the odd one out I realize. You may also have it free through PS+, too, if you have that.

Slay the Spire I've only played a bit of, but it seems awesome. It's a deck building rogue-lite, where you attack enemies with cards you play from your hand.

Dead Cells is kind of. A metroidvania would be like that, but with no rogue elements, and being able to backtrack to the stages.

I don't like card building or roguelike/lite so by default I'd say Hollow Knight. It's a metroidvania but a top tier one. Bosses are hard af though, so if you're not into the genre or like challenging bosses you probably won't like it much.

but the artstyle is the most outwardly appealing part, I can understand why people dont like the combat or movement mechanics, but the game is gorgeous
Sorry I don't find bulbous insect things appealing to look at.
