It's just mid. a solid 6,5 at most.

Looks soulless

So... like the first game?

>>719844160 (OP)
You fell for the hype. The first was shit so I knew this will be shit too

>>719844160 (OP)
10/10 I'm having a blast

>>719844294
The first game was a 6. At least Hornet is more fun to control in this game.

>>719844491
You're just convincing yourself the 7 year wait was worth it.

>>719844160 (OP)
That's the literal beginning of the game. I bet you didn't even swim under the bone platform to the secret area.

What do you call this art style?

You lost

You lost

>>719844294
i'm pretty sure this whole frenzy just happened because the people that were waiting for it started breaking containment and made a shit ton of bandwagoners buy it, since HK is not really outstanding, it's just alright.

He asked about the Hollow Knight art style, not you

You are weird. You have no stake in the success of this game.

>>719844294
First game was mogged by a chibi rabbit game with better boss fights and exploration. If it didn’t improve it probably gets mogged by the spiritual spinoff of that chibi rabbit game too

TEVI ain't mogging shit.

>>719847930
Agreed with Rabi-Ribi but it's too difficult for normalfags.
Disagree with TEVI, that game sucks fucking ass and instead of doubling down on the movement in the first game, they went backwards and ensured you couldn't sequence break until you had already beaten the game. They also got a shit artist for it.

You guys can't afford 20 bux? lmao

>>719850324
The brownoid poo skins among us have had a torrent for hours now. The game is just mid, it's not about money.

trueing

>>719844160 (OP)
imagine being the guy who worked on the background art only for some retard to blur the fuck out of it.

>>719852227
sure thing rajeesh

>>719852327
it's the same guy you dumb fuck only 2 people worked on this game

Art style is nice and once again all the NPCs have endearing dialogue and personalities. I don't really enjoy Hornet talking. So far her input hasn't added anything. But man, the new enemies are just annoying. Hornet feels weird to control. The diagonal combat doesn't really add anything besides being different for different's sake and the platforming creates by is impeded by too many annoying flying enemies that, again because of Hornet's weird moveset, are frustrating to deal with. It's not bad. It's just not compelling. I'll finish it eventually but I'm not falling in love with the world the way I did HK. For me so far it's a 6/10. Maybe it'll get better. Only 4 hours in but first impressions are meh.

I tried to like it but...whats the appeal of this game (and HK)? Very slow repetitive combat with little variance. traversing the maps is a slog. how is this so critically acclaimed?

>>719846071
He's right

>>719852415
then that guys a retard.
he should have learned from pixel art games you never need to blur backgrounds. it's all about color contrast.

>>719844160 (OP)
9/10 if it were a porn game.

>>719852569
The original only really took off after a while and then some more after silksong became a meme game with the whole NEVER COMING OUT label on it, like half life 3 and all the other games in that situation. But they're all very slow and honestly kinda boring. You're right about traversing the map, I feel the same way. I'll chalk it up to this genre simply not being for me.

>>719852354
>no retort
>ad hominem projection
Conceding already?

>>719853053
It feels like an anti Dead Cells in terms of pace and fun.

Silksong > Hollow Knight > Rabi Ribi > TEVI

I say this as a Rabi Ribi fan.

Looks like a newgrounds flash game.

>>719844160 (OP)
i didnt realize the art clashed that much. its like two different artists that only communicated a single sentence between each other about what the art style is.

>>719852569
Idk, I'm playing Hollow Knight for the first time, the combat is alright, I don't find it difficult at all, I probably have first tried every boss in the game, but the combat and enemies moveset is appropriate and fun considering the way the main character moves.

I would say the world and the art create a really unique ambiance that is the highlight of the game for me.

>>719853053
I found HK to be way too stuffed with things I didn't care about. Especially worse in that the game seems to expect you to be doing multiple full playthroughs with things like giving you achievements for story elements that you only get near the end of the game and have two mutually exclusive options on.
The combat is okay but it's really too simple and doesn't really get interestingly expanded on after the first few bosses. If it were a game that you could complete in 15-20 hours without pulling up guides then most of these wouldn't really be issues, just that it expects you to keep playing well past it's overstayed its welcome.
Basically all of my issues come from how the game comes across as pretentious, both in how it acts like you'll want to be playing it for 50+ hours to traverse the map multiple times and the presentation in general.
