This Metroidvania Will Have You Playing as a Grandpa Fighting with His Cane
It's a mix of Cuphead and Hollow Knight.
The Eternal Life of Goldman is a fantasy Metroidvania game that has an unconventional hero: a grandpa using his cane as a weapon. You'll have to explore an Archipelago to defeat a mysterious deity.
The game is inspired by ancient fables, fairy tales, and myths; it has a hand-drawn style that reminds you of Cuphead and Hollow Knight. The scenes were also colored and animated using frame-by-frame techniques.

The developers described the game as a challenging platformer that demands precision, but at the same time, improvisation and ingenuity. They also said that it's a game that will encourage exploration and reward it with new skills and artifacts.
It will allow you to experience a multi-layered and complex story that may make you cry. On August 5, the publishing studio announced with a very cute animation that The Eternal Life of Goldman had reached 500,000 wishlists.
The game is set to be released in 2026, but you can already download the demo or add it to your wishlist on Steam. It will also be available for Switch, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
