Hollow Knight Video Game • Page 19

I don't remember the last time I smiled so much while playing a game. There's just so much whimsy here.

 

I’m assuming this is another Fog Canyon scenario but if anybody finds the map for the *ahem* Fourth area please let me know

edit: all good

 

What the fuck?!?? How did I miss this?!?

 

That was, without a doubt, the most fun I’ve had on a release day since Mario Oddysey.

All the years of memes and my mounting skepticism and they cooked so hard. Feel like I’ve gotten pretty far and also am just getting started lol. Team Cherry forever

 

Downloading

 

I for sure will not have time to dedicate to this for quite a few weeks, but happy to hear it delivered and that everyone’s having fun

 

Goty for the fleas alone

 

As much as I enjoyed how barren and lonely HK felt I am loving how many NPCs are around here.
Still trying to figure out how to discern friend from foe approaching from the opposite end of a screen though (I have been wrong more than once)

 

Fighting (and dying) in an enemy rush room right now and god damn, the combat is so much more intense somehow. Fucking CINEMA

 

Lace fight rocks omg

 

Tough to recalibrate my thumbs from the absolute button mashing of DK Bananza to the finesse of Silksong.

 

The downward attack being angled makes it much more difficult to target things compared to Hollow Knight

 

Yeah, I'm worried that the diagonal downward attack is gona ruin some of the platforming. But I'm only a few hours in, so we'll see

 

First two bosses down:

My sister's name is Moss. My sister-in-law's last name is Bell. Pretty wild how that lined up.

 

Why does every boss in this game deal double damage?!

 

The diagonal downward attack is messing up my platforming, but man it feels good to bounce off enemies.

also getting hit while trying to heal is the most demoralizing shit lol

 

this is my biggest complain so far. Not even just their attacks, but just touching you. You can get hit by an attack, and then a boss just steps into you and takes 4 masks from you. Feels super bullshit

 

I am assuming (hoping) at some point you upgrade the cloak to take less damage or something yeah because these bosses are no joke haha

 

My first attempt at one of the early game bosses literally lasted about 4 seconds for this reason lol

 

I'm gonna do it





git gud

 

I think the thing I really need to git gud at is the down air attack because I’m really struggling to pogo and it’s seemingly a very required skill

 

Yeah I can only imagine the kind of parkour shit they have cooked up for us with that pogo mechanic lmao

 

The fights have become much more manageable now that I have the [end of 4th(?) area spoiler] dash ability + float ability and therefore have infinitely more range to move and time to think in between attacks

 

I was unsure of the diagonal down slash until the room that forced me to learn it by bouncing off the red things and now I think I’ve got it, good game design there

 

Really hoping Silksong has a path of pain equivalent
