really. i had no idea hollow knight was that popular, for me it was just a plucky little indie metroidvania. i don’t even recall seeing much about it online in recent years. guess the fandom must have kept to themselves.
The Hollow Knight fandom has literally been going schizophrenic for the past 6 years because nobody knew or not if Silksong was actually on development, or if it was going through development hell, or even if it was going to be cancelled, and it didn’t help that the devs were SILENT for that entire time. Turns out, the game was actually being made this entire time and only took this long because they kept adding every idea they had into it, so it was actually going through development heaven lol
Yeah, the fandom never died. There’s just no other platformer like it, the controls are so tight and the game itself is extremely well polished
People still do speed runs of Mario 64 and ocarina of time, Hollow Knight is like… Objectively the best 2D platformer of all time. It is singular, the games that inspired it and the games that copy it don’t compare
Although so far, Silksong has not disappointed, it took forever but it’s actually living up to expectations so far

We were sacrificing people on reddit in the Hollow Knight sub in order to get the game released before I left there. I still volunteer as tribute.

objectively sounds a bit much. i found it ok.
Cool. There’s an estimated 324k blood transfusions per day. This beat that
It’s essentially an objective measurement
…what?
