9 Unexpected Video Games That Will Blow You Away In 2020

3. Hollow Knight: Silksong

For the old skool gamers who loved the unforgiving difficulty of Dark Souls, but wanted to experience this masochistic pleasure in a 2D sidescroller setting, Hollow Knight was a gift from heaven (or Lordran).

Team Cherry are back at it, and Hollow Knight: Silksong looks to be even better than the original. Expanding on the first instalments formula, Silksong provides new foes and more ways to defeat them, as well as more ways for you to die.

Not only that, but Christopher Larkin is returning to soothe your ears while you pull your hair out over the myriad spikes that will appear as you land on each new platform.

Coming later this year on Steam and the Switch, this side scroller is looking to be one of the best independent releases of the year.
