Hollow Knight
Like Hyper Light Drifter, this game offers a melancholic journey through a beautifully desolate world, where combat is fluid and exploration is key to uncovering a deep, unspoken narrative.

Children of Morta
Trade the lone drifter for a family of heroes, but retain the top-down action, pixel-art charm, and a story that unfolds with each delve into corruption-ridden dungeons, much like Hyper Light Drifter's blend of action and narrative.
