7 Games Like Hollow Knight With Cloud Gaming Options

Looking for games like Hollow Knight? These seven picks offer different combinations of exploring connected spaces, mastering movement and facing dangerous encounters. Their tone and combat are not interchangeable, so choose by the part you want more of. Each has a positive PC cloud catalog entry in our 27 October 2026 check.

1. Ori and the Will of the Wisps — movement and a different visual world

Ori and the Will of the Wisps combines an exotic world, large enemies and challenging puzzles with its platforming journey. It is a strong alternative when movement and atmosphere matter most, with a very different visual mood from Hollow Knight.

Cloud options: Boosteroid (Steam). View Ori and the Will of the Wisps listings.

2. Ori and the Blind Forest: Definitive Edition — an earlier Ori adventure

Ori and the Blind Forest: Definitive Edition follows a young orphan through a richly drawn action-platforming adventure. It is a separate journey from Will of the Wisps, worth considering when you want another exploration project with its own identity.

Cloud options: Boosteroid (Steam). View Ori and the Blind Forest: Definitive Edition listings.

3. Blasphemous — a darker action-platforming identity

Blasphemous sends its protagonist through the nightmare world of Cvstodia with demanding hack-and-slash combat and abilities to improve. It is relevant when an unsettling setting and dangerous encounters matter more than keeping Hollow Knight’s precise tone.

Cloud options: GeForce NOW (Steam) · Boosteroid (Steam). View Blasphemous listings.

4. Blasphemous 2 — another journey in a distinct dark-fantasy series

Blasphemous 2 gives the Penitent One a new world of mysteries and monstrous opponents in the struggle against the Miracle. Choose it as a separate dark action-platforming adventure, rather than treating the two Blasphemous releases as the same game.

Cloud options: Boosteroid (Steam). View Blasphemous 2 listings.

5. ENDER LILIES: Quietus of the Knights — an atmospheric action-RPG alternative

ENDER LILIES follows a sorrowful journey through a destroyed kingdom, with fallen knights helping against its threats. It is a particularly atmospheric 2D action-RPG alternative when a world’s mood matters as much as its encounters.

Cloud options: Boosteroid (Steam). View ENDER LILIES: Quietus of the Knights listings.

6. GRIME — an unusual world and action-RPG direction

GRIME combines demanding action with living weapons and the ability to absorb enemies through a black hole. Its world of anatomical horror gives it a striking identity: choose it for something stranger rather than another game that looks like Hallownest.

Cloud options: GeForce NOW (Steam). View GRIME listings.

7. F.I.S.T.: Forged In Shadow Torch — a different visual take on exploration and action

F.I.S.T.: Forged In Shadow Torch combines exploration, combat and demanding platforming in a distinctive mechanical setting. It is a useful change of visual world when you want another metroidvania project rather than a direct imitation of Hollow Knight’s atmosphere.

Cloud options: GeForce NOW (Steam) · Boosteroid (Epic Games Store). View F.I.S.T.: Forged In Shadow Torch listings.

Which should you try first?

Start with Ori if movement and atmosphere matter most, or Blasphemous if you want another dark action-platforming identity. ENDER LILIES and GRIME offer different unsettling worlds, while F.I.S.T. provides a clear visual change of pace.

Before you play

Availability check: 27 October 2026, using positive entries in the importer’s source catalogs. Global source scope is not a promise of access in every country. Confirm your region, exact store version, required plan and input support before buying. A matching game license may be required; install-to-play can involve setup. Multiplayer features must be checked separately with the provider.

Browse the game library or read how cloud gaming works. Screenshots illustrate the games; this is a catalog-based selection, not a hands-on streaming-performance test.
