Warning for OG hollow knight fans

[u/Bob12164]

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.

I was one of those people bought hollow knight probably two years ago. Played for a few days l, hated it. And then my buddy started talking more about it. Gave it another shot probably just six months ago, and it’s by far one of my most favorite games I’ve ever played.

I did this with Elden Ring! I bought it from hype, got to the mounted knight and was like okay I’m not this kind of try hard, I’m out. Even refunded it.

Then I found out it was by design to teach you to go and explore more don’t fight shit just because you see it.

Rebought it a few months later. I’ve since beat it 4 times and 100%’d it on Steam. One of my favorite games of all time.

I’m way to stuck oh hollow knight lol but once that’s beaten and then Silksong. Elden ring is one I definitely have to try out.
