Monroy contacted Team Cherry and found them enthused to work with Goldman. Initially, all the young man wished for was a video conference with the creators of his favorite game. That one meeting turned into several and Team Cherry invited Goldman to make a custom NPC boss character in their under-development game Hollow Knight: Silkso

Amidst other preparations, Goldman’s father contacted The Marty Lyons Foundation (founded in 1982 by NY Jets Legend, Marty Lyons), a non-profit dedicated to realizing the wishes of children ages 3 to 17 diagnosed with terminal diseases. Krystal DeWitt Monroy, Director of Program Services, resolved to make Goldman’s Hollow Knight dream a reality. Monroy has coordinated several other gaming wishes before, and finds us a "wonderful, generous community". Corresponding directly with TheGamer.com via email, she describes Goldman as a special young man and she "was happy to have coordinated his wi

In a collaboration with Materia Collective and Team Cherry, Hollow Knight DLC|Https://hollowknightportal.com/ 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

If you want a physical version of the album, there are a couple of options available on Bandcamp .

Dead Cells is a roguelike primarily with Metroidvania elements. Players will explore randomly generated dungeons which usually have multiple exists. These can be accessed by gaining new abilities as one goes on. All levels lead to the same finale, but this simple change in the normal die and repeat gameplay at least gives it some extra flexibility. It also teeters on the difficult, grind-heavy side of thi

Cuphead may not be a Metroidvania like the three above, but fans of Hollow Knight can appreciate it for the high difficulty and similar art style. That is to say, it is like playing an old cartoon mixed with a shooter akin to Contra . The music is also superb plus there is co-op as well. For those curious, it started off as an Xbox One exclusive but it’s now on Switch as w

There are few indie developers around that are as simultaneously revered and underrated as the Toronto based Drinkbox Studios. Making a name for itself during the age of PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita, Drinkbox is best known for indie hits such as Tales From Space: Mutant Blobs Attack , Guacamelee! , and Severed , and currently the only game that hasn't been released on PS Plus is the 2018 Metroidvania platformer , Guacamelee!

When Telltale Games released the critically acclaimed first season of Telltale's The Walking Dead back in 2012, the video game landscape was changed forever. And while subsequent seasons never quite reached the heights of the first one, it didn't feel any less devastating when Telltale Games closed in 2018 , halfway through the development of Telltale's The Walking Dead: The Final Season . Luckily, the season was later saved by publisher Skybound, and as a celebration of the series, lead to the development and release of a complete collection called The Walking Dead: The Telltale Definitive Seri

Yoku's Island Express is a Metroidvania pinball adventure. Now, that’s a new genre. It sounds weird but it worked so well. It also stars a bunch of bugs, but unlike Hollow Knight , it’s a lot more upbeat. This may be the best diversion to play immediately after finishing that game. Try not to smile when playing

In the press release, Peacock discussed his goal for Hollow Knight Piano Collections .
