Should i replay this before buying Silksong?
I played it at launch and remember nothing about it

>>719782991
I mean I personally think it's an amazing game. You might get burnt out on the genre if you do more than a speed run of the game.

I bought Hollow Knight at launch but never touched it. Then a friend told me Nine Sols was much better than Hollow Knight so I bought that, tried it, and it was utter trash.
So much for that genre of gaming....

Been playing videogames since I was 3 years old in 1998, but it was Hollow Knight that made me finally think "I can do it too", download Unity for the first time in 2017 and get into gamedev proper.
It's been a fun road.

Why is this story so common? It was the Mantis fight for me. Dropped it for almost a year because I got bored of it and then picked it up almost a year later and couldn't put it down. I've heard this exact story a dozen times.

WHERE THE FUCK IS SILKSONG IT'S NOT ON THE ESHOP!?!????

>>719783426
The normal(?) Radiance. I tried him a couple of times and probably could've beaten him, but I was just so tired of the game that I didn't care about yet another sweaty bossfight.

Guys, no one tell him.

>>719783954
I believe it's because the game is too boring and bleak in the begining. You have no idea what's the plot of the game, you have no abilities. It's inevitable that some people would stop playing after a few hours. Either you have an engaging gameplay or story at the start to make someone play the game.

>>719782761
Can you play Silksong before Hollow Knight or is continuous lore a big part of the game?

Got intrigued when I noticed frens talk plenty about silksong release so hadn't heard about either Ss or Hk since a few days ago
