Silksong. God people wouldn't shut up about it before launch. Big hypemachine. Then it came out and after a while people didn't like it and it kind of petered out.
"People didn't like it?" Who, and how many percent? Most people enjoyed Hollow Knight also enjoyed Silksong.
This one's wild to me lmao. Like yeah I get how it's not everyone's taste but the game was getting 10/10's across the board, and of course discussions are gonna die down 2 months after it launches when most people who picked it up at launch finished it by October.
If you look at only the rating in number then the gaming industry suffers the same problem as the movie industry. You have to read in-depth review of it to determine the chance of you liking it.
People still talk about old movies twenty years ago. The original Hollow Knight is still being discussed by the community, especially now that Silksong is out, and the two stories connect. Gameplay-wise, Silksong has not only one, but six sets of play styles (crest). Imagine the contents to experience.
But of course you don't have to experience all these if it's not your cup of tea. Just saying you don't have to invalid someone else's preference.
