Of course, the bundle’s headliner is the subterraneanHollow Knightwhich boasts some of the tightest stabbing and jumping you can find anywhere. Plus, the melancholy kingdom is packed with surprises, from ethereal boss fights to benches that let you do amazing things like sit down and chill. With a big big sequel on the way, now’s probably a decent time to dig into Hollow Knight.
Sinful action-platformerBlasphemousis also included in the bundle (and also has an upcoming sequel). That’s the one with unholy Catholic iconography and a tough-as-nails difficulty. Blasphemous surprisingly had a crossover event with the next game in the bundle:Bloodstained: Ritual Of The Night, which actually comes from sub-genre veteran and Symphony Of The Night director Koji Igarashi. You can’t really get more Castlevania-like than that.
Humble’s Metroidvania Bundle is availablehere. As always, proceeds are split between Humble, the developers, and a charity - this time supporting the NGO Girls Who Code which aims to close the gender gap in the tech industry. And as always, you can choose how your money gets split between the three groups.
