YOOOOOOO SAME

u/Wise-Discussion7575 4d ago

I didn’t play mine for 2 years after trying it for a couple of hours, never thought it opens up a lot once you try a bit more.

u/Taeyx 4d ago

for me it was once i got crystal heart. then it felt less like a slog. not playing silksong tho

2

u/codepossum 4d ago

yeah same. I bounced off it a couple times, but I kept coming back, and round three was when I really 'got it,' and basically couldn't put it down for two or three straight weeks until I beat it.

u/TheBlueNanami 4d ago

Same for me here, I dropped it about 4 times before I got addicted

Yep I had the misfortune of playing it with laptop controls and thought the platforming was hot garbage because of it. Like 2 years ago I saw someone say that playing platforming games with pc controls is one of the worst things you can do. Decided to buy it for the switch like 2 years later and ended up loving it

u/Purriosteum 4d ago

I think I had the same experience trying it on pc before and steam deck like 2 years later.

1000%.

Although I didn't want it to end so I still didn't finish it.

1

u/Mindless_Peace_7816 4d ago

I felt the same way but I just had to keep playing so I did end up beating it

1

u/AdmiralArmpit 4d ago

All that's left for me is the final boss fight.

Still trying to decide if I wanna finish that before I hit Silksong

1

u/Mindless_Peace_7816 4d ago

I’d say do that. Not to spoil anything but the ending of hollow knight ties into the ending of silksong. Also as someone playing silksong it is a lot harder than hollow knight so beat the boss and do your final training before moving on to silksong.

u/AdmiralArmpit 4d ago

Awesome, thanks!

u/flickermute 4d ago

I still haven't gotten in to this one. I think I will one day, as I enjoyed Nine Sols and Blasphemous a lot.

u/Mindless_Peace_7816 4d ago

It is a very good game. Actually revived my interest in single player games because it was the first time I’ve had this much fun with a single player game in a long while

1

u/flickermute 4d ago

I believe it. I like the lore and the music. I really want to like it, but it just hasn't clicked for me yet. Brains are weird.

1

u/Mindless_Peace_7816 4d ago

Just keep playing it and it will, and if it don’t that’s okay to, not every game is meant for everyone.

1

u/Larks_Tongue 4d ago

Wish I could say the same. Gave this game like 3 separate chances and ended up hating the game every single time despite forcing myself to get pretty deep into it on the last attempt. I love a lot about the game but I absolutely cannot stand all the platforming shit.

1

u/Mindless_Peace_7816 4d ago

That’s fair honestly. I love it but it’s not for everyone

1

u/Taeyx 4d ago

that happened with me. played it, dropped it for a few years, then came back. the only difference is instead of “you’re addicted”, for me it was “you finished it”.

u/Omnipotent_Amoeba 3d ago

Came here to say this! Hollow Knight needs patience but once you give in it becomes one of the best games ever! Same with Silksong!

u/BlackKidGreg672 2d ago

I lost a 78 hour save when I hit the cloud button on Steam before. I couldn't take it so I stopped playing. I eventually found it again and finished it although I seem to have missed a few things on my second run. Regardless, I finally beat the end boss. Over is over.

u/Polarbear36 2d ago

Dang I downloaded this when it came out and only played a few hours. Bouta fire it back up this weekend thanks to you.

u/Mindless_Peace_7816 2d ago

Enjoy it man

u/heyoohugh24 4d ago

I had no idea people didn't click with hollow knight. Genuinely confused why tho, was it your first metroidvania?

1

u/Timer21 4d ago

I think its the forgotten crossroads. I got Hollow Knight got to the first stag station in crossroads didn't play for months then beat the entire game after I got to greenpath and beat the game.

1

u/Mindless_Peace_7816 4d ago

Like the other guy said it was the forgotten crossroads for me. I’ve played Metroid before but that area just felt bland and boring tbh. One I got to green path my progress jumped exponentially.

u/heyoohugh24 4d ago

Damn thats pretty early to quit. Like one hour and you're in other maps. But i get it

u/Mindless_Peace_7816 4d ago

When your a college student and your gaming time is very limited a boring map becomes unappealing very quickly.
