This game is huge. So many optional areas and bosses. I’m currently bashing my head against savage beastfly over lava. Might work on the nail upgrade quest first (seems to be three upgrades) as it’s such a bullshit fight when he can fly off screen and god help you if you just jumped and he’s in your lane moving faster than you can say “bullshit,” if you know what I mean?
I’m enjoying the game for sure, but I couldn’t in good conscience recommend this game universally. It takes a certain kind of masochist (possibly also required: degenerate) to appreciate a ball buster like Silksong.

Its worth a try. Really beautiful and atmospheric. I played it a couple hours a day for a couple weeks and had fun. Some tough spots but nothing soul crushing. But its huge and I just kinda petered out before finishing it.

Wish I had more time for Silksong. It isn’t as engaged Hollow Knight was, but now with a few abilities traversal is better. Stage layout is still not great, or at least the use of arena rooms. Also, whoever designs enemies that fly away from you when you approach and move out of range so you have to sit there and wait for them to path back should lose their job.

There are quite a few handy tools for flyers sprinkled throughout the game, but yes, that behavior is annoying.

After playing Elden Ring and other games I thought Hollow knight was gunna be rough.
Got it this week, sure there are some things you gotta figure out, like any game, but it isn't bad.

Stick, which I need to figure out replacement pads for them on my PowerA Fusion controller. The rubber on bottom of the left stick finally gave out after pressing down so much. These KontrolFreek Omni seem to be highly rated on Amazon. May need to pick a pair of those up.

I was willing to give this a go because it's only $20 and fills a spot in my Switch 2 library for something like this. I enjoy it so long as I try not to take it too seriously. I do wish they gave it some accessibility options for making it easier though, these games are a lot more enjoyable for me when they do that. As it is I doubt I will ever beat this.

What does “beat this and opened act 3” mean? You’ve beaten the game, and act 3 is some sort of post-game?

Yeah I guess Act 3 is like a postgame? Changes the world, adds at least 2 new areas that I found before stopping. But you need to do some quests and beat the “final” boss twice, the 2nd time you get the option to play your Needle instrument if you’ve done all the prerequisites. Maybe you don’t need to do that boss twice I just had to.

Is there any more retarded mechanic in a game then currency that rolls away or falls into spikes? And then the further retardation of selling an item for that same currency that is made annoyingly, intentionally difficult to collect that makes it slightly less annoying and intentionally difficult? Just fuck off with all this bullshit.
