Hollow Knight
Like 'The Forbidden Arts', this game offers a sprawling, interconnected world to explore, but with a darker, more melancholic atmosphere and a combat system that demands precision and mastery.

Ori and the Blind Forest
Experience a visually stunning metroidvania with fluid movement and emotional storytelling, much like 'The Forbidden Arts', but with a greater emphasis on environmental puzzles and a more linear narrative.

Blasphemous
If the dark fantasy and challenging combat of 'The Forbidden Arts' appealed to you, 'Blasphemous' offers an even more brutal and atmospheric metroidvania experience steeped in religious iconography and lore.
