That's a great price. I'm not even on the Silksong hypetrain and fully intended to wait for a discount a few years down the line, but I might just get it for that a few days after release if the reviews are good.

    Have you played the original Hollow Knight? I don't think you need to in order to play Silksong, but it'll help you know what to expect and it's also just a great game.

    Yes, I played it for 12 hours and quite liked it, but eventually got stuck at some bossfight and moved on to other games.

    Im gonna bet it was the Mantises cause that was like the great filter boss fight and ridiculously hard. That wall grab ability negates a lot of developers puzzles so i kind of get making sure you can fight the creatures you will find after.
    Im hoping for a bit more fluid fighting.

    I feel like I'm the only one who didn't think Hollow Knight was anything special.

    Not a bad game by any means, but it's kind of just a decent metroidvania with a cool art style. I've never understood the insane amount of hype.

    Name the last metroidvania that was that themed and had good fight mechanics before hollow knight?

    Cause axiom verge had been like a 100% clone of metroid and Dust came out in 2012 almost a decade earlier.
    Hollow Knight was for a lot of people their first Metroidvania that tried to create its own thing and stuck to openworld of metroidvanias while letting you use different mechanics to move forward to bot make it linear.

    Its beloved cause its honestly a rare game type.
