HollowKnight Silksong |OT| 530k on Steam

My 1 hour impressions, are that I liked the first one a little more. So I'm really not far with it.  

I'd say a pretty big upgrade in visuals. It feels more vibrant and lively.  

I wouldn't even call these spoilers per se, but I'm going to tag them anyway.  

Spoiler for Hidden:

The first game has a main base, that you can usually reliably get back to.<br><br>So far, the sequel feels more obtuse map wise. The levels are much more complex, and maps of the levels are harder to get.&nbsp;<br><br>

What a downgrade! Trash, dumpster fire.

Why do you say that?

I was just responding to Pi. I haven't played either game.

I have been liking it more as I go.  

I saw r/DarkSouls2 compare Silksong as the Dark Souls 2 of Hollow Knight, and based on how people talk about it, I kind of don't think it's too bad of a comparison.

I'm not sure that I've seen any long runbacks in Silksong though. 

But a lot of people are definitely complaining about the difficulty.

You've been talking about a lot of issues with Dark Souls 2, so I have no idea how bad it actually is.

Hollowknight 1 a 10, Hollowknight 2 an 8? Or is Hollowknight 2 still a 10ish, it's just that the previous was so great?

It's more so this in my book.  

I had a real good time with the first game just a few months ago.  


Reviewers are loving Silksong much more though.

I don't trust reviewers. They have horrible accuracy, doubly so with a hyped game. But it's great you still consider it great.

I trust reviewers. I am certain that those 10 people had a 10/10 experience. That doesn't mean anyone else will.

Yeah it's not that any specific reviewer is bad, it's the aggregate of metacritic/opencritic that is bad.


Steam tends to be better imo. 94% of hollowknight reviews in the last 30 days are positive. 91% of silksong are positive. So both incredible games, but it seems others agree with you that the first is the more incredible game.

Currently sitting at 94 on OC, 93 on MC

I kind of expect it'll continue to go down just a little.

No it has to stay exactly where it is!
