~~Silksong~~ Hollow Knight and Undertale
One is pretty much just another Metroidvania, and the other is way too indie/hipstery for my tastes.
I need to be able to kill things in video games without having to feel bad about deleting pixels, thank you very much.
Edit: I meant Hollow Knight, and I stand by what I said.
How would you know that Silksong is just another metroidvania when it isnt even out yet? It's a sequel to one of the greatest games in that genre, of course there's hype.
I meant Hollow Knight.
Well that's absurd for an entirely different reason then.
It's still just another Metroidvania. I honestly don't understand what makes it stand apart from others like Metroid or Dead Cells (aside from the fact Dead Cells is a roguelike)
It's just a very good metroidvania. Gamefeel is good, exploration is good, vibe is unique.
I'm so glad I waited for a sale on Hollow Knight.
The hype had my expectations high. I was disappointed.
In contrast, I slept on Steamworld Dig 2, because the first one was just okay. But Steamworld Dig 2 is a nearly perfect Metroidvania.
