No one left uncured.
I got you.
I never considered the charms system to be that characteristic to Hollow Knight but when I saw that PoP has you buying maps from a shopkeeper hiding just off the path but who you can detect through objects scattered around the surrounding environment and the sound of them humming to themselves an eyebrow did raise.

To be clear I'm all in favour. I love to see all the really direct pulls it does. It's also got Celeste strawberries, an air dash that's Metroid Dread as gently caress and a mirror match fight (though, if anything, that one pulls from the original Prince of Persia, right down to having to parry counter his parry counters).

I will say the forbidden thing and say that PoP's map system is better than HK's.

Man...the platforming in this game really gets challenging. There are a couple sections I couldn't even figure out what I was supposed to do. There's one bit that if this were Hollow Knight has the big centipede things in a room. They are going in big circles. Every so often they break through some crystal that then grows back. There are also platforms you can stand on for a second or two that then disintegrate. You have to jump, double jump and air dash around in there. I can get a few in and then have no idea how to progress because once you start, you can't stop and if the centipede hasn't broken the crystals, you are imprisoned. Pretty sure this is optional. But man, it's hard. There are other sections that aren't as challenging that appear to be required for progress. Not sure if there is a way around them but I made it through after figuring it out.

Game is good. Real good. And harder than non pantheon Hollow Knight.

I thought this was a rom hack of HK for the first 30 seconds of that trailer, I'm not sure if I'm impressed or not that they were able to copy the art style of HK to such an uncanny degree.

I have no idea if it's any good but I learned today in the wake of Riot Forge's shutdown that they published a Metroidvania last year. (Riot Forge apparently published indie devs making things set in their universe. I had no idea it existed until it didn't anymore.) Reviews are pretty positive.

Convergence is a very good game. Excellent platforming, solid combat, clever use of time travel. The first half of the story is really good. The second half is...whatever. Its also shorter than most entries in the genre lately. You could beat it in a weekend.

Yeah, it felt really polished. I vaguely remember it handling the time travel better than most games, but it's probably significant that I don't remember how.

Its a shame to hear about Riot Forge. For what I first thought would pump out crap they published some great games. Every single one is at Very Positive.
