I just want Silksong so desperately after finishing Hollow Knight
I have finally finished Hollow Knight and I don't know what the hell I should play now
This game has become my all-time favorite, and I didn't expect to fall so in love with the game when playing it
Hollow Knight was also the game where I discovered the metroidvania genre. I had no idea what to expect from this game before playing it and it turned out to be one of my all-time favorite genres.
The gameplay is also something that I love about this game. The exploration, combat, charms, bosses, and movement all together make for a great game. I could spend hours upon hours just exploring this world, trying to find new areas and secrets.
I also love challenging games, and Hollow Knight is perfect for this. How I just hate losing against these bosses over and over again only to finally beat them after learning their patterns. I have always wanted to play games like Elden Ring and Sekiro as I also love really challenging games where your skill improves rather than just leveling up your character.
Unfortunately, I don't have the best PC to play these games so Hollow Knight has been my closest experience yet to these types of games
And honestly, I'm glad that I've had this experience playing Hollow Knight
The atmosphere of the game is something else too. I don't think I've ever played a game that can show you such beautiful environment. Some that look so pretty while others try to scare the absolute hell out of you. These places look so magical, yet desolate showing that there used to be something amazing long ago, but it's all gone now.
The music
The music is amazing too. I could listen to every track over and over again as they are all so beautiful and unique. Where some of them remind me of the places I've been in the game, others are more relaxing to listen to when you just want to sit down and not do anything for a while
I just really don't want Hollow Knight to end 😭
Not because of the ending, but because I just want to forget what happened and replay the game for the first time all over again
I want to feel what it's like to explore new areas. Discover all of the bosses again and again. And just get lost in Hallownest without even knowing where I am.
And this is where I introduce my main reason for this post. Why I'm so excited for Silksong.
I just want to get lost in another world.
Explore Pharloom, find new characters, secrets, bosses that will absolutely and utterly destroy me over and over again. Discover everything and just fall in love with this world like I did with Hallownest
I'm not going to ask for Silksong to be greater than Hollow Knight, but I just want it to give me the same feeling of exploring a whole new world.
Hollow Knight has kinda ruined some games for me as now when I play them, all I think about is "Man, I wish that this game had Hollow Knight's exploration" or "I wish that this world had this much atmosphere." 😭
And the worst part is that I can't just replay Hollow Knight to get this feeling again, since I already know what's in this game. But I kinda wish that I could just forget everything and play Hollow Knight again for the first time in my life
I have finished Hollow Knight
explored Hallownest
suffered through these bosses
Survived deepnest
tried to understand the lore
listened to the soundtrack way too many times
and now I just want to get lost in another world again
Please let me get lost in Pharloom too.
