AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
Polygon highlighted seven diverse games, from punishing platformers to unique indie metroidvanias, to help fans pass the time while waiting for Hollow Knight: Silksong's upcoming DLC.
Polygon recently rounded up seven titles to help players pass the time while waiting for Team Cherry to drop the Sea of Sorrows expansion for Hollow Knight: Silksong. Given the studio's history of expanding scope, fans are prepared for potential delays, making a detour into other challenging experiences a smart move for anyone craving tight platforming and exploration.
The list spans several genres and platforms, highlighting games that share the DNA of Team Cherry's brutal metroidvania design. Titles like Blue Fire and Tunic offer precision movement and environmental discovery, while Cuphead and Mina the Hollower deliver the punishing difficulty and masterclass boss fights that challenge enthusiasts love to stream and speedrun.
Other picks lean into unique mechanics that still respect the player's intelligence and appetite for a challenge. Rain World tests survival instincts in a living ecosystem, and Yoku's Island Express flips the metroidvania formula on its head by trading the jump button for pinball paddles, proving that the genre still has room for wild experimentation across console and PC.
Whether you are grinding through tough modern platformers or exploring classic inspirations like Zelda 2, these games capture the spirit of endurance and discovery that keeps the community hooked. They offer plenty of engagement for cross-platform players looking to fill the void before Hornet returns to action.
