      The highly-anticipated sequel to 2017’s indie hit video game Hollow Knight. 2-time winner of “Most Anticipated Game” at the Unity Awards, and 3-time winner of “Most Wanted Game” at the Golden Joystick Awards. The most-wish-listed game on Steam, up until its release today.

      Silksong is the highly anticipated sequel to the original game Hollow Knight. It’s a metroidvania game with a cult following. The sequel has been in development for years, and people are super hyped for its release, proven even more so by the fact that an industry giant like steam not being able to keep up with demand

          in the very beginning it was planned to be just a dlc, but for many reasons they decided to go make it a full game

            I just bought it. I have an almost complete hollow knight save on switch. I wanted to play silksong on ps5 so I started a new file to prepare, assuming it was a dlc. Looks like I didn’t need to do that

              Yeah… It won’t help you. You’re Hornet, not the Hollow Knight. The controls might be the same, but the skills don’t transfer

              I replayed the original too, it was enjoyable, but easy after completing the path of pain years ago.

              I’m getting my ass kicked in Silksong, and it’s great

              Well at least you got a refresher. Hollow knight had a few dlcs/updates all of which were free.

        I’m gonna be real with you: I don’t like Dark Souls. It felt poorly designed and obtuse with no payoff. But, it took me a long time to learn it’s completely unconstructive to bash it in places where people are admiring it. Whether I like it or not, other people do.

        If you must, give a word of caution so people know what to expect. “It’s a Metroidvania, I didn’t like it because it’s very black and white, and goes hard on difficulty.”
