Now that you've played both, which is better?

I haven't played either but Silksong is GOTY

>>719843596 (OP)
Both are painfully mediocre but Silksong doubles down on the annoying bullshit of the first game has weaker bosses and a far more annoying currency system, so Hollow Knight is better

>>719843596 (OP)
Hollow Knight has the best atmosphere of almost any game. It definitely hasn't been topped by the sequel.

Nothing about Silksong screams "7 years of development"

HK is better because the player character is better to play as

>>719843596 (OP)
hollow knight is better since it didnt have artificial difficulty with every other enemy hitting for 2 masks of damage

>>719843930
Its more of a "I quit my job 7 years ago to become a full time indie dev and only sold 700 copies" reddit post.

>>719843930
.....other than "developed by literally 3 people"

>>719843596 (OP)
it's been 12 hours dude.

yooo is that a 2d indie sidescroller platformer GOTYYYYY

>>719843596 (OP)
They're both shit and anyone who likes them deserves to die.

Silksong feels half baked. It's harder than HK, and everything is tanky, but not all fights seem to even reward you with anything. Everything costs money so you have to grind more. The movement is worse, I hate the divebomb's range, and feels limited in a shitty way.

Hollow Knight.

>>719843930
I think they spent 7 years watching speedrunners and Pantheon autists and said "yeah this is what our target audience is." Everyone else got gypped but most people are too lazy to refund.

>>719843596 (OP)
HK feels better so far
this one seems like a DLC

im confused on what they were working on all those years

>>719847078
Jerking themselves off to watching people getting filtered by the Pantheon most likely

>>719843832
Hallownest feels more real. The lake above the city with rain makes so much sense. Pharloom (so far) is incoherent.

>>719847406
>Pharloom (so far) is incoherent.
it even has the dark souls volcano tower

Blasphemous

Both are fucking trash

never finished HK
Silksong is cosntantly annoying me with bad platforming or enemies that are seemingly impossible to dodge or the nonfluid movement. It's...good...but I don't like playing it as much as I hoped I would.

>>719848691
Is it really good, or are you just trying to convince yourself it's good?

>>719848760
it's better than most modern slop, I don't even care about hk or ss nearly at all, but you can't deny they're quality games. They just annoy me.

>>719843596 (OP)
I'm still trying to get through HK. Dropped it out of boredom the first time, started again recently and sure enough it really tests your patience. Corpse retrieval is such a dogshit mechanic for a platformer with huge maps.

I haven't played either but my opinion is nonetheless holds just as much value as everyone else's, and I think the games are both solid 5/10s.

>>719843596 (OP)
Im sad rhey removed the knockback of the nail

>>719843596 (OP)
First impression:

Movement in Silksong feels better, but I dislike the vertical poggo.

>>719843596 (OP)
both shit

>>719843596 (OP)
Play Metroid

>>719843596 (OP)
Super Metroid and Castlevania Symphony of the Night.
