Voidwrought

awesome game, not to difficult, but the movement feels really good

Pretty decent metroidvania, pretty average. Positive sides: - good visuals - some decent bossfight music tracks - good variety of locations and enemies Negative ones: - story and atmosphere are meh - didn't like the map Everything else felt pretty average to me. I'd recommend this game only to metroidvania fans.

"The Lost Child of Hollow Knight" (said affectionately) Voidwrought could easily pass as a game set within the Hollow Knight universe, or even as some sort of spin-off. While it can sometimes be a little TOO similar to Hollow Knight —some enemies, the inventory layout, upgrades, and so on— it still manages to stand on its own as a solid Metroidvania. The first thing I'd like to point out (and this is definitely a positive) is that it's MUCH more accessible than HK. Don't get me wrong: Voidwrought is still relatively difficult. It shares quite a few characteristics with Hollow Knight: enemies and bosses with recognizable patterns, enemies that explode after being defeated, traps everywhere, and so on. That said, I do feel the game is a little less punishing overall. It manages to keep the challenge without making things unnecessarily easy or frustrating. The bosses provide a good challenge and are genuinely fun to fight. The game's learning curve and progression system are quite generous, with damage upgrades, health upgrades, and healing gems making you feel noticeably stronger as you progress. Going back to areas where you previously felt weak really highlights t…

Voidwrought is a very intriguing and mixed-bag kind of game. At a glance, it seems to be a simple Hollow Knight wannabe, but after a playthrough, you'll find it's considerably more than that. I've played the game to completion on Switch and occasionally chip away at it on Steam, and I will say that while the gameplay can be a bit bland at times, the world design, music, and oodles of lore are very well made. The vibe is very Egyptian/West-Asian, which is a very refreshing and appealing departure from the standard fantasy faire. The areas are diverse and visually pleasing, albeit sometimes not very cohesive such as a ruined metal vessel going right into a vibrant garden area. The boss roster is admittedly small and quite hit-or-miss. With most being 'wall bosses' (or in other words, boss fights where the boss is static and usually against a wall or in the background) But the ones that aren't static are very fun or at least cool looking. Voidwrought is far from a perfect game, but I feel that it is absolutely worth a playthrough if you're looking for a game that plays like a bit of both Hollow Knight games (moreso the first, of course)

Good game so far. Definitely worth the effort to explore, poke around and kill stuff.

Nearly as close to Hollow Knight as you can get without using the same dev team or risking copyright infringement.
