Hollow Knight: Silksong

Hollow knight is excellent, I am still playing it. The art style, the gameplay, the music, the athmosphere - everything is amazing! I am looking forward to the sequel. I would have liked if Bloodstained was similar. I prefer this 2D style of game than 3D from Bloodstained. Team Cherry is made of just 2-3 people and they have done a fantastic job, Hollow knight is praised by everyone.

Hollow Knight, for me, is in a special category of games that would almost certainly be in my Top 10 if they didn't have spiders in them. With other games in that category, like Donkey Kong Country 2 or Resident Evil: HD Remaster, I have ways of coping with it. When you have to play as Squitter in DKC2, I can squint and look at the edges of the screen. With RE, if there's a room with giant spiders, I can just close my eyes and peek at the map when I need to. Hollow Knight's different. There really isn't a practical way of avoiding all those spiders that crawl along the screen in Deepnest, not to mention the eggsacs that explode or the spider enemies that emerge from the foreground.

That's one big reason why I'm hugely excited for Silksong. Since it takes place in a new kingdom, it seems unlikely that they'd just do another Deepnest.

Based on the trailer, it looks like Hornet's going to be a fair bit more agile than the Knight. Do you think this means we can expect more agile bosses as well? If so, what do you think about that?

Mr. Welldone Yes, I have actually. Sorry to not clarify. I've just about gotten 100% completion, minus the Godmaster content. I played around with it a little bit, but as another user said, not too keen on boss rush/artificial SUPER TOUGH varients of bosses.

freddythemonkey YES. I LOOOOVE HK. I'll add you on the forum, we can geek out about it some time. Also no, I didn't finish all the Godmaster content. Fuck. And. That. ahahahaha. I played it a little bit, but for me the game was already pretty difficult as it was; it was virtually impossible for me to beat a boss without taking at least 2-3 hits; with the exception of the .

This is a great game! I grabbed it during a special discount, over at GOG. Punishing and rewarding, one of the very few games that actually manages to make you want to git gud! I managed to beat 75% of all game content (achievement count/metrics) with my own skills, then i used invulnerability mod, in order to experience the entire of the game's content (beating pantheons with handicaps? Beech, please!). My only problem with it is that sometimes, controls aren't as refined & responsive as they should, leading me into tragic deaths. Using keyboard...

That be a masterpiece, really. But they shouldn't have made it so much hard, the final content of DLCs (pantheons and king grimm were pure sh_t, difficulty wise). They should have shown more love to the casual players, like in the vast majority of the main game!

I love how those guys treated their stretch-goals and i secretly hope that Iga will pull off, something similar. Silksong for Hornet would be a great example, for Zangetsu. And imagine that Hollow Knight's stretch goals, not all of them had been funded, unlike Bloodstained's... Whoops.
