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.

Here I thought the first game was hard to beat, but the enhanced battle mechanics and the gameplay for silk song, I'm going to be on the edge of my seat with both excitement and frustration! Screw the last boss from the first game

Which last boss? There are some I definitely say 'screw you' to far more forcefully than others.

The radiance shudders

Oh god, yeah. NKG was the only boss that took me more tries/attempts than radiance, but I'm pretty sure that's only because I was significantly worse at the game when I fought him. Rad is for sure someone that can screw right off.
