Shit, I got downvoted the other day for calling it overrated. I did get it confused with Silksong, just because it’s been talked about to fucking death on the internet, but even still.
Probably not overrated, you (maybe) just think so because you personally don’t like the games. The amount of people excited for it and loving it justify the hype I think.
Without spoilers (I’m on the fence whether I’ll buy it and play it), are you able to articulate the reason you didn’t like it very much, if at all?
I’m looking to get a more balanced idea of the game. I watched a streamer I follow play a little bit today, but not much. I’m not sure I got enough of a gist of the game to have an opinion on whether I want to play it.
I’m not usually a platformer kind of person, but I don’t have anything against platformers.
Im not that guy, I only spent about 90 minutes on it so far. The jump physics feel weird, like its too vertical and not horizontal enough (theres probably upgrades that fix this later idk), and I have only identified one area i know I can’t reach yet.
Usually with these games you can see a cracked wall and think “oh im coming back here when I get the bombs” or “I bet I can make that jump with a double jump later” but I’ve only seen one platform i cant get to yet. Maybe im not observant enough, maybe I havent been in the right rooms yet, or maybe its just too slow for me to feel the hooks.
I think it’s just that bad metroidvanias are the standard and there arent as many of the good ones as you would think. So the joy of a good one gets pretty hyped. Im not sure its overrated since its a good game and rated at about what that entails just over hyped and concentrated on.
Like rougelites they sorta suffer from being one of the more accessible game types with regards to development time and effort.
I loved the original Hallow Knight but I like platformers like that. I will say though there there has not really been a stand out in the genera as of late which is also contributing to the popularity.
