Jul 15, 2024Bo: Path of the Teal Lotus is among the best games I’ve played and easily stands alongside the other greats in this genre. Have you been waiting to play Silksong for years and years? Well you’ll still be waiting, but this game is an absolute must play. And at a reported cost of only 20 USD, I recommend Bo: Path of the Teal Lotus to anyone and everyone even tangibly interested in metroidvanias. Move aside little Knight, it’s the Lotus’s turn in the spotlight.

Aug 28, 2024Bō: Path of the Teal Lotus is one of those rare great games. Any Hollow Knight comparisons are valid, but the overall feel of Bō: Path of the Teal Lotus is very much its own.

Jul 24, 2024Bo: Path of the Teal Lotus wears its inspirations boldly – Hollow Knight in particular – but makes its unique mark in a delightfully crowded modern Metroidvania market. The platforming is difficult but the level design is creative. The boss fights are too long but encourage you to use what you’ve learned. There are UI issues but they don’t occur often enough to ruin the game. The bridge section is brutal but shows an impressive confidence in the level design that persists until the end. The writing, art, and music are sublime. You should play this if you’re a genre fan with more patience than me.

Jul 31, 2024There's no denying that Bō: Path of the Teal Lotus is a success. Whether graphically, in its gameplay, its lifespan, its storyline: the game ticks all the boxes of the indie videogame nugget and proves to be a worthy successor to Ori and Hollow Knight, mixed with Japanese folklore. There's no doubt that with such a flying start, we'll be keeping a close eye on the studio's future productions.
