Remember when headlines were supposed to summarize what happened so you could decide whether you wanted to read more or not

One look at the trailer will quickly disprove the notion this sold like shit because of silksong.

Even games like Cronos and Hell is Us, which has nothing to do with a 2D platformer got overshadowed. These people are fucking stupid to just send their games out to die like that

is it really that hard to just suck it up and delay your game? like yeah, i get it, it sucks to have to change plans but you are shooting yourself in the fucking head by releasing on the same day as a game with that much anticipation and hype.

They still do. If it doesn't summarize, I simply won't click and read. Easy.
But I get your point, don't worry.

It doesn't look bad. But it does look like a generic pixel-art metroidvania where you play as a crusader-aesthetic dude. It looks like it would be decent, but I'm not a huge enough fan of metroidvanias to play every single one that comes along.

Supposedly, it's a "modern reimagining and spiritual successor" to this super old Atari 2600 game:

Some French company bought it along with a few studios then renamed itself Atari. Likely they did it for the name recognition and IPs.
Similar thing happened to the Commodore 64 recently except it was a YouTuber and he doesn't have enough money so he is selling Commodores to finish the purchase. How that works legally makes no sense to me but it's happening.

This looks more like an indie game than shit like Blasphemous or obviously Hollow Knight.
If you told me it was a game made by one guy or small team I'd be sympathetic.

I don't any sympathy when it's supposedly a professional product yet it has nothing to show for it and is being mogged by an indie game.

You know, the defense I see for Silksong releasing the way it did was that it would help other medtroidvania games by it's exposure. People who play Silksong will check out other metroidvania games. Yeah, that was a lie. The People who are checking out Silksong now are because it's the new popular thing now. Those same people aren't going to check out another metroidvania game because it doesn't have the hype or prestige around it.

it was a lie because i'm going to find it very hard to play other metroidvanias for a while without thinking to myself "man i could just be playing silksong instead"

does it have loot? it'd default to being a better metroidvania than silksong if it does.
