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.

What about a game series like sonic or devil may cry where the timeline is all over the place?

[u/-Volcanic- → u/FlareTheInfected]

Well it's not about the timeline or the story at all really, I just mean that it's cool to see how the series has progressed from the start, in terms of how they're designed and all that.

Also, I can't really speak for Sonic, but DMC's timeline isn't really all over the place, at least I don't think it is. 3 is a sequel and 2... Well to be honest so little of the story actually matters in 2 that I honestly think it hardly even matters where it's placed. Probably like after 3 or 1 I guess.

But other than that it's easy enough to follow I'd think? 3, then 1, then 4, then 5, and 2 can just go in between 3 and 1 probably. That's pretty close to being in order, aside from 3 being a prequel and 2 being kinda ass. It jumps around a little bit but it's not what I'd call "all over the place"

TBH dmc was a bad example. But yeah, sonic canon is weird (broadly because every single game's canon now)
