Praised for its simple yet nuanced combat system, Hollow Knight delivers the perfect balance of difficulty, exploration, and growth. It's a classic Metroidvania adventure, tightly-wrapped in a cocoon of unsettling, dreary horror. However, it's not alone in being a great pick for a dark and creepy Halloween gaming-session. Here are four other titles that not only share similar mechanics, but are equally-suited to the pervading gloom of October 3

Noble recently sat down for a press interview at MCM Comic Con in London, where he talked about his burgeoning career; Sleepy Hollow season 3; his past work on Fringe ; and whether he'll do more voice-over work after Batman: Arkham Knight . You can watch the video above, but here are some excer

The Hive is arguably the most forgotten area in all of Hallownest, as it’s not necessary to visit it to complete the game. This hidden area, tucked away deep below the Kingdom's Edge, is a palace of golden honeycombs and crystalline structu

As for where Noble might show up next, fungal Wastes Boss the actor says he's open to "whatever comes along." While he does enjoy voice over work, he doesn't see it as his direction in life. Noble's optimist outlook has clearly worked for him so far, and so he gives one parting thought at the end of the interview: "You just gotta, somehow or other, put one foot in front of the other. And hope can spring eternal. If you keep that attitude, who knows what doors will op

Both of the Ori games have been particularly praised for their beautiful artwork and atmospheric audio. While the tone of the games might not be quite as dark as Hollow Knight 's, Ori's forest-home possess a melancholy, haunting beauty. The various twisted creatures that Ori must contend against are more classic Halloween fare. Some particular standouts are Shriek the insane, half-petrified owl, and Mora the spore-corrupted spider qu

In 2008, J.J. Abrams' science fiction drama Fringe premiered on FOX to stellar ratings, earning it a spot as the fifth most watched show of the week.

In a collaboration with Materia Collective and Team Cherry, Hollow Knight Piano Collections is an album with 15 tracks from the Hollow Knight Original Soundtrack . Originally composed by Christopher Larkin, this selection is arranged by David Peacock and performed by Augustine Mayuga entirely on piano. While they aren't exact recreations of the songs, they are faithful reinterpretations that do sound quite lovely. That is if the one track I heard is indicative of the entire product. Here is the full trackl

In the press release, Peacock discussed his goal for Hollow Knight Piano Collections . "My goal was to put together a selection of arrangements that both compliment the original material, and are expanded upon by the qualities and aesthetic of the piano performance," says Peacock.

It is a bit difficult to locate, but there does exist an NPC quest where the Knight is charged with transporting a delicate flower from the Resting Grounds to the Queen’s Gardens without receiving any damage. Complete this difficult quest and not only will the player receive a rare achievement, but they will also receive a mask shard and the ability to present delicate flowers to certain NPCs throughout the g
