    Despite some difficulty spikes, Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights is one of the best metroidvanias I've played in years, with gorgeous visuals, remarkable atmosphere, and amazing soundtrack.

    Ender Lilies is a wonderful experience and an essential if you like this type of proposal. A superb level design packed with memorable moments is finally here after a long period of Early Access, and it hasn't disappointed.

    When you die, you’re sent back to the last rest point without penalty. The game still offers some customisation in its combat, but its approach is simplified. The lack of a deep combat system might be a turn-off to those looking for a challenge, but we applaud the devs for allowing more players to get through it – which is more than can be said of some of its inspirations. Tying everything together is an art style that, once again, makes Ender Lilies easy to get into. It certainly features grotesque creatures, but its balance of beauty and horror is a highlight and one of the game’s best aspects. [Issue#5, p.77]

    PlayStation version is the best. The developers are also Asian, which means they used PlayStation as lead platform. Best version is this one.

    1 I like the way priestess and background story

    2 The world is way liner 3 combat is lacking but it's good and suite the I dea of priestess

    4 I was hoping for survival npc to tell the story more and do some sides quest 5 beautiful music it's great to hear great ost from games that's not AAA 6 To be fair comparing this game with hollow knight or Salt and sanctuary
    It's not fair In the end it's satisfying game from studio first project
    And worth my time and money

    So if you want to play a game before Hollow knight silk song and salt and sacrifice

    This game Will be great experience

    WHITE NIGHTS

    BEFORE WE BEGIN:
    Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knight is a video game produced by Binary Haze Interactive and published on January 21, 2021. The game was completed 100% on Xbox Series X.

    SOME RAIN MUST FALL:
    Ender Lilies begins with a small visual introduction to the game world, introducing the player to the great evil afflicting the planet. Endless corrupted rain has turned all living creatures into impure and immortal beings. The only salvation from this fate lies in the young white maidens, girls who can deprive the creatures of their corruption. The player wakes up inside a broken capsule, assuming the role of one of these maidens, Lily, the last descendant of the white priestess. From there on, the goal is to purify the still sentient creatures in order to restore what this realm once was, bringing back serenity and stopping the endless rain.

    WHITE ECLIPSES BLACK:
    This title faithfully brings all the mechanics that characterize a pure Metroidvania: different abilities unlockable throughout the game that open up previously inaccessible paths, a currency to upgrade abilities, various secret and non-secret bosses to face, and multiple paths that can be taken simultaneously. Additionally, Ender Lilies takes a lot of inspiration from Hollow Knight, with explicit references like benches and relics, similar to the aforementioned game's charms. The game's unique selling point and distinguishing feature from the rest is the type of attack available to the player. Lily will use the souls of purified fighters to defeat enemies, and it's possible to use up to three simultaneously, and six thanks to the convenient set swapping.

    PALE COLORS:
    The game's graphics are well-crafted, with different parallax layers that change for each game area. The use of muted colors to enhance the mood and devastation of this land is fully exploited. Furthermore, the visual effects add an extra boost to the gameplay. One drawback of the game is the limited variety of enemies and the similarly lacking diversity of the bosses, which are not very powerful or distinct.

    WINTER:
    The audio component is what stands out prominently above everything else. Most of the game's soundtracks are original and elegant. The latter adjective is the one that resonates throughout the game, contrasting with the chaos generated by the rain. The sound effects complement the visuals and enhance the game's combat, making it very fluid and entertaining.

    BUT WHY 8?

    PROS:
    The game, despite being a classic Metroidvania, adds a touch of novelty to the combat, supported by excellent audiovisual effects that keep the experience flowing towards the end without becoming boring or repetitive. Moreover, the challenge offered by the central bosses is balanced and entertaining, unlike the mini-bosses, which can be easily defeated with powerful abilities. The originality of the story context is well-structured and leaves room for curiosity. The exploration is also very interesting, and each map has multiple secrets, some of which are difficult to find. Additionally, it is highly appreciated that you can replay boss fights and engage in a boss rush, as well as the ability to modify all game parameters such as enemy and protagonist health and attack to create a greater personal challenge.

    CONS:
    The cons of this game are varied but highly subjective. Starting with the overly obvious inspiration from Hollow Knight and other Metroidvania games, such as Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia, from which it borrows the combat style.

    A game with good haunting atmosphere and amazing Music and gameplay that is addicting and very good bosss.
    I enjoyed it so much that I got a platinum trophy for it and it says a lot because it took me about 14 hours .
    The way you can see the main character is getting corrupted slowly in the game is amazing. I looked at this style and how the Explorer work.

    And the game is a good amount of challenge all the way through the bosses are fair and it didn't take me to long to figure out their parents.

    I got drawn into Ender Lilies due to its music, due to this when I saw the game was available on ps4, i inmediatly bought it. Shortly after, II got drawn into Ender Lilies due to its music, due to this when I saw the game was available on ps4, i inmediatly bought it. Shortly after, I was mesmerized by the beautiful art direction, deep music, and fast combat. This game is the best metroidvania i've ever played. The combat is fast and responsive, the difficulty is perfect, the soundtrack is flawless, and the leveling systems are completely understandable. I love that the map tells you if there are unexplored routes, and if you have completed the area. I overall love this game, its design, its music, and its characters. The story is really good too! I 100% recommend this game to anyone that likes metroidvanias. Expand
