Ok, like what? Got a top five they were really great but no one noticed?

Haha exactly. Celeste B sides will give you that feeling too if you’re up for more masochism.

Been there, done that. I never would have if I hadn’t experienced Hollow Knight first through…I didn’t like hard games before that, now I am undaunted

Forty five degree angles are the devil from what I’ve seen on twitch lmfao. No one is use to that yet.

Oh for sure. Those two games are peak platforming for me.

I’m loving Silksong by the way.

If hollow knight movement involved jumping up and down and dashing left/right, silksong involves moving in more of a saw-tooth pattern. Platforming and combat challenges are feeling fresh as a result.

Steam isn’t what had the issue. It was the payment processor. You can tell because multiple digital storefronts all died at the same time.

Yeah, the fandom never died. There’s just no other platformer like it, the controls are so tight and the game itself is extremely well polished

People still do speed runs of Mario 64 and ocarina of time, Hollow Knight is like… Objectively the best 2D platformer of all time. It is singular, the games that inspired it and the games that copy it don’t compare

Although so far, Silksong has not disappointed, it took forever but it’s actually living up to expectations so far

objectively sounds a bit much. i found it ok.

People always notice good games. Sometimes they just don’t have mass appeal or are marketed badly.

Okami, Beyond Good and Evil, Ico, Psychonauts, Gravity Rush, Panzer Dragoon Saga, Eternal Darkness, Vanquish, Titanfall, Rayman Origins, Alien Isolation, Jet Set Radio

There’s definitely a lot more but those are just some of my favorites.

Cool. There’s an estimated 324k blood transfusions per day. This beat that

It’s essentially an objective measurement

Right? You get it. It really feels like something special

I feel like I’m learning to play Hollow Knight all over again. I suck, but I know when I wake up tomorrow I’ll be better. And that’s a beautiful feeling

And I just have to say, it’s incredible that team cherry could release this game, with such intense expectations, and not disappoint. I just hope the game doesn’t end too soon

They probably weren’t expecting this much, and didn’t pre-scale the server instances. Having more capacity than you need is expensive.

Love to see this game being so popular. I hope it lives up to expectations. Hollow Knight was a game that accompanied me through some tough time in life. Can’t wait to play Silk Song on the weekend.

How was Titanfall badly received?

Not a bad list of games, but I was thinking steam, pc, and independent like hollow night.

The ones on your list are from consoles (from a long time ago). All but one are large publishers, and most are fairly loved games, even after 20+ years for most of those.

Steam isn’t what had the issue. It was the payment processor. You can tell because multiple digital storefronts all died at the same time.

Yup.
Hollow Knight basically got me into gaming. I struggled plenty and had to redo sections an unreasonable number of times.
Silksong is faithfully recreating that experience, but with even more stunning visuals (I absolutely have to replay on PC), immersive sound and engaging movement. I also started getting lost almost immediately and had to invest in that most OP of all charms.

For what it’s worth, it sounded like they’re excited to keep adding content and really had to force themselves to stop development just so we could get a release so I think odds are pretty good that we’ll get DLC again.
Aaaand they go longer have an obligation to backers to add hornet, so who knows how much they’ll be able to add, or what other games they decide to work on after.
The future’s looking bright.
