Jade King from TheGamer Writes "It's time for me to dive into a classic that I keep hearing about, but never played myself."
Hanzala from eXputer: "After years of endless patience, hoping before every showcase that 'this is the one,' some factors insist Silksong is still real, but is it?"
While helpers were a relatively small part of the original Hollow Knight, Silksong could elevate them into one of its defining features.
The wait for Hollow Knight: Silksong has been particularly arduous, but Team Cherry can keep it under wraps for a bit longer still.
Hollow Knight is a good game. I still need to finished it, but it's still uploaded, which is something, very few games get a permanent space on my PS5.
Great game but it took me a long time to beat it. I would play it inbetween other games.
I didn't get the hype at first and put it down for a year. Then after going on a Metroidvania binge with ender lillies and Wonder Labirinth i picked it up again and ended up loving it.
It's an incredible game....don't know why you wouldn't just play it for it's own sake...probably don't need to play before silk song necessarily.
I remember before I played HK I wasn't particularly bothered, I knew it was highly recommended but I didn't really fancy it. One of my all time favourites now.
There's absolutely no need to play HK before Silksong for lore reasons but if you're interested in the latter you'd be mad to skip the former.
