HollowKnight or SilkSong?

Honestly I’ve had a lot of fun with both but I just love the early game difficulty as a semi experienced player. I love the character and companions like our ride creature but one small little nitpick it that SilkSong’s music soundtrack just doesn’t hit like Hollowknights.

What are your thoughts on these two games? What’s your favorite and why?

I haven’t played either
The player model and environment for hollow knight looks better then silksong’s but thats it

That’s a very fair take for someone who’s never played either.

I’m not normally into video games but silksong just hits different. I’d totally recommend it if you are considering playing it. Although if you’re not into games like souls then it’s probably not for you.

I was thinking in playing Hollow knight soon, I'm not one who has a lot of time to play videogames tho

It’s a fun experience. Although you may get sucked into the game so if you have any procrastination issues I’d say don’t play it.

I feel like silksong feels significantly harder, but hollow knight feels significantly less linear. I agree that hollow knights soundtrack is so much better, but I really like how the different areas look in silksong. Hornet does feel a lot less customizable with her tools than knight is with his charms. Her interactions with NPCs actually feel like it's still her though. Overall, I like them about equally for different reasons

Also, 100% recommend both. They are both so cheap compared to other games at similar production levels, and insanely fun if you like a good challenge

#8 I feel like so much love and care was put into both of these games that it’s hard to choose which is best.

Normally old players like the first game better but in this case Silksong brings something new to the HollowKnight community with this difficulty and story.

Really it’s a matter of preference

Ye, I agree with that. I'm not one of the oldest players, but I've been playing hollow knight for about 2 years. I definitely have biases towards it. Have you beaten silksong? Don't want to say spoilers, but there is an item I use making hornet more like m

I started a couple days ago. I’m currently in bellhart if you know where that is.

I didn’t but the game on release.
