LET ME IN

it's still broken for me. i literally run the hollow knight community. i am gonna be so spoiled on literally everything. send help.
What is Hollow Knight silksong?
Silksong is the highly anticipated sequel to the original game Hollow Knight. It's a metroidvania game with a cult following. The sequel has been in development for years, and people are super hyped for its release, proven even more so by the fact that an industry giant like steam not being able to keep up with demand
Wait it’s a full sequel not another dlc?
in the very beginning it was planned to be just a dlc, but for many reasons they decided to go make it a full game
Played the first half hour of it and love it. Can't wait for the weekend to really dig into it.
Download failed 4 times in a row from GOG. I was able to get it like 20mns later. It's beautiful.
(On my wishlist for years)
Well now I don't feel like playing it.
This is a travesty of travical proportions and I am currently drafting a class action lawsuit against Gabe Newell
lol - who's doing SRE?
many people managed to buy the game but Im getting no luck 😭
GoG, Xbox, and Nintendo eshops are also having issues.
Wellp, I have started playing the first silksong again finally after getting stuck in the mantis boss thing. Also I bought this one...
I only just started playing for the first time last week or 2 weeks ago, that mantis boss was tough but i managed it after many attempts. Each time i returned i played better. Little tip for you, in the arena, before starting the fight, wall climb up the left hand wall and attack upwards at the ceiling a few times and a hole opens with those blue blobs that give you temporary extra hit points. They respawn if you die so you can always start the fight with a few extra hits.
Only other tip is remain calm and the fight will feel slower.
Yeah, I'll wait until the dust settles and the reviews come in before I buy.
20 € ? Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo would had marked it for 70 € or more.
I live in Colombia and Steam has it at ~10 USD post-regional pricing. A friend (same location) had to pay 24 USD in his PS5 (extra 4 USD due to taxes). Sony situation is ridiculous.
I haven’t played the first one for more than 10 minutes but bro there’s no way these games can be that good.
HK was that good.
If you are at all a fan of souls-likes, metroidvanias, environmental storytelling, then you need to give the original more than 10 minutes.
Enjoy it as a metroidvania and beat the final boss -- then realize you still have places you haven't fully explored...
I love souls games, but other than Blasphemous and Dead Cells, I have struggled to stick with Metroidvanias a lot. I find that they are open in the worst way possible for me, because I can get lost and then spend time “progressing” only to find the way blocked and having to backtrack. These days I have low tolerance for wasting time, or more specifically to the feeling that I’m wasting time.
