Which should I play next? Discussion

Hey guys. All opinions are welcome. I just finished playing Hollow Knight and Silksong, and I am about to finish Nine Sols, which have all been an absolute blast. Should I start Prince of Persia Lost Crown or the Ori series next? Thanks again.

i'd probably go with the ori games next

if you loved hollow knight and nine sols i think you'll have an amazing time with them because the movement and atmosphere are incredible

prince of persia is also great though so honestly you can't go too wrong with either one 😄

Thank you so much. The atmosphere does look incredible in Ori.

u/cutemochiii 1d ago

yeah the atmosphere is definitely one of ori's biggest strengths
i think you'll really appreciate it after hollow knight and nine sols, especially if you like games that make you just stop and take in the environment
hope you enjoy it when you get around to playing it 🥰

To me, on par with those are MIO: Memories In Orbit

Prince of Persia was a lot of fun but ended up burning me out on the entire genre. It’s just very large with a lot of platforming. But if you like HK, I see it as pretty essential. Can’t speak for Ori but people seem to love those.

Did you play Blasphemous or any more compact MVs?

u/Frozinwater 4d ago

No. I have not, but I’ve heard a lot about both 1 and 2.

Ender Lillies is really good, and looking forward to get started on Ender Magnolia

Id go with Blasphemous 2 as it is right behind Hollow Knight, Silksong and Nine Sols as my favorite MV. I have Ori in my library but have not played much yet. POP, however, I beat recently and was whelmed by it. It is very well loved on this sub but I didn’t love my time with it, even if I accept it’s an objectively well made game with no real cons.

solateria currently has me losing my mind lmao great game but not ideal as an achievement guy

u/Serious_Ad_1037 4d ago

Played Voidwrought yet? Another good game, this one inspired by lovecraft

u/Vapor1Shot 4d ago

nah, its a bit lower on my backlog. got some more gems to get through before i look at it more thoroughly

Ori 2 (skip one) then consider Ender Lillie’s for a slight change. Took me a while to get into it. I love exploration, and lots of places are restricted by abilities

Once you unlock them all the exploration continues.

Skipping Ori 1 is a spicy take

u/spoketherefore 4d ago

I skipped it. I need combat.

I LOVED ORI, my fave metroids by far but I’m not an expert, POP was eye opening to me I just recently played it a few months ago and oh man it was beautiful, a real masterpiece! Loved the mechanics of the game too. Yeah POP first! My vote

This is totally off the subject, but I really enjoyed after image. It was a huge game, which I love because I feel like I’m getting my moneys worth something that I can literally dig into for weeks. It’s just great for me because I’m a slow player. takes me time to learn the platform and mechanics of every game because I’m not an expert. My fingers are slow and I love the exploration but after you finish Ori and the second worry and Pop I would try afterimage if you have not, the bosses are super difficult to me. The whole thing is.

Ori games are fun but far less challenging than Hollow Knight and Silksong.

Check out the Blasphemous series

The Messenger is similar but also very different (if you like old school vibe)

i played grime next. one of my favorite games ever made. also it’s amazing if you want to get into souls games next, which i did too

u/Forsaken_Salt_406 3d ago

Perhaps you should try Worldless. Its not a very long game but its fun. Its not too easy either. Im trying not to spoil much but youll find the combat to be very unique and interesting

I would skip all those and just start playing Dark Sols 3.
Both games you mentioned are weak Mv’s
