simpleHollow Knight: Silksong is out now on Steam - and it broke Steam servers for 15 minutes and counting now
ToneswirlyCan someone explain the fervor over this game? I played the first one and bounced completely off of it. It was slick for sure, but obtuse and kinda janky.
There’s just…so much content out there about Hollow Knight if the answer to your question is of actual interest to you. No shade to you if it wasn’t up your alley, but the only kind of response you can get is someone else’s opinion. Like, I gave Bloodborne my best effort (30-40 hours of it) but eventually had to give it up, despite loving Demon’s Souls and Elden Ring. But I love hearing about others’ passion for it all the same and accept that there’s a something there that didn’t click for me.
FWIW, this is the video that convinced me to play Hollow Knight: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jm9Q4YLaWLk. It’s a long one but it makes a good case.

That’s sad to hear. It’s the game From Software put most effort to design wise. It was incredibly clunky on release, probably feels even worse after playing later From titles. Wish we had a remaster but we likely won’t. Even playing on an emulator won’t help because of how From developed their games back then. Still it is the best game From Software made.
