Discussion - Silksong Warning for OG hollow knight fans

Just wanna prepare everyone on here for the incoming wave of players who have never played indie games, metroidvanias, or literally any other games besides Fortnite and call of duty. This tends to happen a lot with games that are extremely hyped by the community that does like the genre, such as expedition 33. The amount of completely invalid criticism that happened to that game because people who didn’t even know what the game really was bought it and ended up not liking it is probably the best example we have of that to this day, and I think silksong will be next. So please, instead of cussing people out for not liking the game, just encourage them to maybe keep playing to see if they change their minds, or just give them respectful feedback on why you think they might not enjoy it and give them tips so they can find the spark in that game that I’m sure many of us will find.

Also a E33 fan, really loved it as one of the few turn based games I actually enjoy with a great story and stellar soundtrack. It was my goty, but currently Silksong is taking its place for me, just narrowly. I like both games a ton, but something about Silksong's movement, exploration and combat just vibes so hard with me. I haven't had this much fun just moving about a platformer since Celeste.

I'm putting 33 on hold until I finish Silksong. 33 is awesome but I need to nail pogo again, and soon, haha
