    At $20 this is a day one Steam purchase for me. Even if I don’t get around to playing it for the next several months.

    I might have to consider it. On the one hand, I did get to a point in Hollow Knight where I just wasn’t enjoying it anymore so I never finished it. But at $20 for a brand new game, I’ll consider it. Unfortunately I have a backlog right now, but overall things just aren’t working out for me and my gaming time.

      It took me three tries before I really got into Hollow Knight, but when it clicked, it clicked. Kind of like Dark Souls. Started that one as well a couple times and petered out, but on the next playthrough, it became one of my favorite games.

        This is what happened to me too when it came out. Tried like 3 times, couldn’t get it into it. Next thing I knew I was doing any% speedruns, earned all achievements, and cleared all radiant bosses. The only thing I haven’t done in that game was the pantheons with all bindings, those are insane lmao

          That’s exactly where I also put down the controller, haha. All pantheons and platinum (and path of pain - which I think might be an achievement?) was enough. All bindings is just a little more masochism than I can handle!

            It’s nuts LOL. I’m not sure how I clutched out the radiant boss clears but couldn’t handle the binding pantheons, I tried dusting it off this week and I’m definitely way too rusty now. Maybe I’ll revisit it after Silksong

    Wow! Between BG3, CO:E33, and Slik Song, all the AAA lies are falling away. They don’t have to cost the user an arm and a leg, they can be beautiful works of art and love from small(ish) teams, and they can be an experience that is so rich in player choice it’s practically unique and highly replayable.

    and they’re going to prove the same point stardew did, by selling multiple copies to the same people on different platforms and blowing any sales projections they might have made out of the water, that video games right now are ridiculously overpriced.

    Hollow Knight was only $15 and got a lot of free DLC. The developers considered it a huge success.
