Top rated cute soulslike games
Small heroes meet hard fights here, with rounded art softening every dodge and retry. In Hollow Knight you explore twisting tunnels as a tiny knight studying boss attacks one by one, while Another Crab's Treasure arms you with a fork and scrap armor against much bigger sea life, and Death's Door sends you as a little crow against huge greedy beasts. You will study attacks, time rolls and strikes, and lose progress when you fall before trying again.
