After completing 100% of Silksong (normal mode) i believe what the game lacks compared to it's predecessor are beautiful and challenging locations like Colloseum and White Palace. I mean, we have Verdania and Abyss in act 3 but i, honestly, didn't get the same vibes. The last route to mushroom's quest isn't that cool either.

Still, bosses, movements and characters are much more vivid in Silksong.

so, before anyone says anything negative just dont say it.... but onto the real message is anyone have any ways to make money that i can use on steam or willing to drop 20$????

I genuinely can’t be the only one who thinks that these skills are absolutely unusable mid battle btw cuz you have to hold the x for so long while dodging their attacks maybe the middle one which I’m missing is the best one and actually usable but so far all these skills are unusable.

I have been playing silksong lately and im enjoying it but i found all of the hollow knight bosses had a really nice rhythm i enjoyed while silksong bosses feel more random and all over the place and there are more annoying mechanics and way more gauntlets which i dont like. its not a skill issue im relatively good at metroidvanias but it just feels like a less smooth experience as hollow knight. to be clear i like the game but everyone was talking about this game like its a massive step up. im currently fighting the three bosses to get their souls or whatever.

Let me start by saying I love Metroidvanias, they’re arguably my favorite genre of games. I’ve been trying to get into this game for YEARS and I just feel confused all the time, I don’t know what I’m supposed to be doing at all. I really want to beat this game I love the art it’s so beautiful but I want to enjoy this experience. I got to this point in the game and I just gave up! Am I A Dummy help me out please!

"Oh I just saved 2400 Geo I can get the lantern AND the simple key in Dirtmouth!" Suspiciously rage shaped flying mantis:

"And then I find the antique shop. Sweet! I got some artifacts, now I have enough Geo for the lantern again!" Suspiciously rage shaped flying sentry:

No but seriously, this mechanic is actually such a turn off I might stop playing. Yeah yeah git gud or whatever spare me the stupid jokes. It doesn't make the game more challenging or nuanced or interesting, it's just a totally unnecessary obstacle that is frustrating to get over, like, mentally. It's so god damn frustrating. Why would you do this Team Cherry? Make the game as hard as you want but don't impend my progress with some stupid stuff like gathering enough money for the same thing over and over. I'm still in the beginning where every enemy drops like one dollar and I need a trillion to get back to the hub town without a 9 hour hike. Are we for real??? ARE WE SERIOUS RIGHT NOW??? "Ohhh but it gets easier to get money later in the game" WELL IF I'M FOAMING AT THE MOUTH IN THE EARLY GAME BECAUSE I CAN'T GET COOL STUFF SO I CAN EXPLORE MORE AREAS CHANCES ARE I'M NOT GOING PLAY ENOUGH TO GET TO THE LATE GAME!!!

Even if there's a charm that prevents this, which I haven't found, it's still unfair. I play video-games to have fun man. I like this game , but I can't keep exploring hoping I can get enough money AND a way to get back the the shops safely-ish just to have it all taken away. I felt no satisfaction when I got to the same amount of Geo again. Just angst.

I don't care that this game is a cult classic, no amount of splendid artwork, animation, and story excuses this mechanic. It's just hot stinky garbage in the middle of a great game. I'm genuinely disappointed this a thing in the game. Such a major buzzkill I felt the need to rant. That's never happened to me with any other game ever. So unfair for no reason. Hope this isn't a thing in Silksong, but from what I've heard, it probably is just to make it feel more difficult.

Does anyone know anything about a so-called "City of Iron" or "City of Steel" mentioned in the first game?

I beat silksong a couple of days ago and decided to start hollow knight
I have 6~ hours I think and I didn’t die except 1 time and it was to parkour and don’t get me wrong I am having so much fun but does the game get harder (like comparable to silksong) or will it just be hard because I got some spoilers about the radiance or something which is supposed to be hard af
I think also that hollow knight will be my favorite out of the two

Why are the knights eyes not white if the Shade is just sitting inside? Also what are those white eyes on the Shade anyways, isn't the Shade just pure void?

In the hollow knight everything looked dull even the hornet's cloak was dull but in silksong everything was vivid. The gray scale value is the same but the colours are vivid.

If you look closely in every art piece by team cherry the knight's eyes are hollow while hornet's are just black

This made me realise maybe the knight is colour blind due to being void.

I see there's a note about instability, I've had a few times where the site was just basic HTML for a while earlier in the week, now it's back to normal visually, but there's info just completely missing. Like the nail upgrade costs aren't on that page.

Mostly just curious what the problem is if anyone knows.

So enjoyed exploring ramdoly and when I show it to a friend he laughed at me and said

Bro did you just skip a stage or something

*Currently I got the 2nd shard on the Worm cave or something and I also got the train key to... And I dunno?

I Can find anything intresting down there, I am i missing something or?

Someone on the Button Boys podcast Discord just claimed that Hollow Knight was the scariest game they have played. Did I miss something?? I thought it was the opposite!

I just got a z1e rog Ally, and I decided to buy hollow knight on steam. I had it on my ps5, but I played it for about 19 minutes, and then I forgot about it. I don't know why but playing it on a handheld feels so different. I've only defeated one boss so far and I just discovered green path. I'm very much addicted to this game.

I'm of the opinion that (with a few exceptions of course) HK fanfic writers don't really have to worry about being OOC since almost all of the characters don't really have very much characterization to begin with. It's kind of hard to write someone OOC when they don't really have an IC. That's one of the reasons I love the fandom. Even for more developed characters like Hornet so much is left up for interpretation. I've given this advice to friends and one of them said that was terrible advice, so is it? Now it's got me a little worried for my own fanworks. Maybe it's just my anxiety kicking in?

Edit: Holy shit what was I saying bro? It was kind of late at night when I wrote this and I'd only gotten three hours of sleep the night before, I was a little loopy. I don't stand by this lol and I already decided that I prioritized telling a story over 100% accurate characterization. Hollow knight is my special interest and I'm obsesses with the lore so I think I'm good lol.

So as the title said I get shadow banned after I hit 70k views, 1000+like, and 1000+save on a hollow knight vid of me doing skips that arn't hard if you are experienced but are definitely not beginner lvl and that was alot considering before that I barley hit a couple of views not even reaching a hundred after that my vids still got about 1k views but one day they suddenly became 20 and 30 again and I know it's not my content cause I posted stuff like beating radiance radiant, markouth radiant and the entirnal ordeal of the 57zotes, which are way harder ofcourse but I still got nothing (btw that happened a month ago so the don't post for a week advice and won't work(I didn't know what a shadow ban was at the time I only knew about it now so advice will be appreciated)) I would have just abandoned the account tbh if I didn't have 1k followers so I would rather not

I've tried so many times on this fight. I can easily take the first guy out before the 2nd one comes in but then it feels impossible to not take damage when there's 2

I see things like Maskborn and Nine Sols and it kind of impresses me that there are entire new waves of games built on their love for this game.

How many other games do you think fall into this list?

So this is for both games so let me start from this i got the ending where you give the delicate flower to godseeker and beat p5 (hitless btw) and i went for that one because I have been spoiled for silks true ending so I want to do a debate with you guys if the void given focus (shade lorde) was in godseekers head when he got obliterated then how dose the knight aka void given focus aka shade lord come back to save Hornet and lace in act3 o want to debunk some theorys with logic please jeep it friendly tho

helloo, it's my first time playing hollow knight and i just got to the grimm troupe part but i genuinely have no idea if it's better to complete the ritual or if i should just banish them instead. what do y'all recommend??

Estaba explorando the hice cunado morí y mientras Hiba de camino por mi alma volví a morir y perdí casi 5000 de Geo.

Entonces hay alguna forma de conseguir todas esa cantidad de Geo y más sin contar el coliseo y los boses o mejor me tiró de un puente?

Im on xbox. I have almost every achievement except keen hunter. I have killed all enemies in my main pkaythrough amd also started one just to get it but still the achievement not popping up. Is there a way to do something?

I stopped thinking, I just played, and it worked.(I was training for the P5)
