I have a feeling that due to it being over hyped, the people who are the most excited for it will get let down and the people who are just mildly interested will enjoy it a lot.

Well, since the rumored low price turned out to be true I guess I’ll be taking a chance on Hollow Knight 2 even if it might ultimately be too difficult for me.
Edit: Apparently none of the storefronts are able to handle the traffic right now because everyone is trying to buy and download it at once.

Silksong fans can have one last delay, as a treat.

getting the same empty calories feel from this one as I did the first tbh. it’s well made but most of the stuff that it obfuscates or makes you repeat just doesn’t feel super interesting
I think I probably made it about half an hour into hollow knight 1 and this one I have given a solid 40 minutes but there’s not a lot motivating me

fantastic solidarity with the blackballed adult games creators on the part of team cherry

Turn off Silksong’s voice in the menu immediately IMO

turns out there are two kinds of money. And the one I’ve been collecting is trash no one is interested in.

The new diagonal downward slash is very short but also feels very good when it lands, so I use it whenever I can afford some pizzazz

It’s really more of the same so far, but Hollow Knight is a clever game. I’ve done some « sequence breaking », found some little secrets

The comments here seem to indicate they should have delayed it more.
EDIT: This was never going to happen but this would have been the perfect oppurtunity to do some Frog Fractions 3 bullshit in the game like have it be a 100 hour game or triple triad or whatever given they probably have enough money to withstand being sued by their kickstarter backers.

Tough crowd in here! I just played the first half hour or so and I’m really enjoying this so far. I can feel the creators’ passion. It’s still got that gloomy Hollow Knight art style, but it’s looking pretty gorgeous on my TV, much prettier than the first game. Frankly, the pop of color Hornet’s cloak provides really makes the grey desolation around her more enjoyable to look at. The first game could have used that.
I like the diagonal downward thrust attack a lot.
I also loved the singing pilgrim. I remember the first game had a lot of charming NPCs and this one’s a great start.

i had to climb out of the starting hole no less than 3 times because i refused to pay attention. this has endeared me to the game more than anything that happened in the first 8 hours of hk1. still, i suspect this game will not be hostile enough to be interesting for me, so maybe some other aspect will reveal itself.
the divekick is an improvement, but i still find movement in this game fundamentally boring which is bad for a game about movement.

So far it’s more Hollow Knight. Everything good about it is in arrangement and subtlety, just like the first one. Part of me is wondering if some of the arrangements are a little less open than the first one, but I also think it’s early days yet and I have no idea how big this game even is.
It feels good, looks gorgeous, and there’s tons of incredible tiny details
Like I’m blown away when I see the tiny ants carrying parts of the corpses of the larger ants you’ve killed for example.
Also like the first game it’s an actually good one of these. Which is so fucking rare.
