    I played a few hours of the original Hollow Knight, trying to get into it. I just…couldn’t.

    I played the shit out of both of the Ori games, though. God DAMN those games are beautiful.

      Just wondering, how far did you get? The begining is certainly the weakest part, Silksong does a better job on improving the general lack of movement and closedness of the map early on

        Not op but I had the same issue

        I think I played like 10 hours and nothing ever really clicked… I didn’t really know what I was doing, why, what was happening or really anything at all.

        And I’m no new guy in gaming. Been at it since like 2010.

        Idk why I didn’t enjoy Hollow Knight. It always seemed nice and still does.

          I got to the mantis bosses and stalled. I came back when skong came out and found out they were an optional boss. Now I’ve finished 2 acts of the second game so I guess I’ve come a way. The second one is so much more in every way though and you probably don’t need to play the first before it but it helps.
