Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong Sparks Debate About Difficulty and Boss Runbacks
rozodru@piefed.social 6 days agoI mean...it's kinda silly to go into Silksong without playing Hollow Knight yeah? Unless Silksong has something at the beginning that sort of catches you up to speed OR is like a Souls or Final Fantasy where it has nothing to do with the previous game entry.
But If I were a fan of the series I would hope the game ramped up difficulty and didn't hold my hand for the sequel. That, in my opinion, would be a worthy purchase. I had playing sequels that kind of "reset".

It’s the latter of the two. The focus is on a side character from the original game, but takes place in an entirely different map/kingdom. You don’t need to have played Hollow Knight, but there are little lore pieces that tickle the brain if you have (and didn’t just skip over all the dialogue). I’ve been really enjoying the game so far, and there’s only one runback that’s felt REALLY tedious, but it’s on what I’m assuming is an optional boss based on what I’ve played so far.
