Why would you torrent an indie game thats already cheap, you can’t support a small dev team?

No 
But I'm joking I got Gamepass
Game looks fun but I don’t get the hype
You gotta play and get immersed in this vast underground world to really understand something like this, then you’ll love hollow knight and then you’ll understand the hype for a sequel
Game looks fun but I don’t get the hype
Its a great 8/10 game, like high 8, but nowhere near a masterpiece. Still, for its price its a steal, and that has been its biggest strength. Its hard finding a better deal for a game this good and big!
I Imagine silksong will fare similarly, although at least the combat system should be exponentially better because hornet is the more action focused character.
I honestly respect this team's philosphy more than their game(s). Like i wished i lived their lives. Unlimited money, unlimited creative freedom, same team with no major expansion, they're chilling, in an industry were western developers are being drained of their talent and energy then dropped left and right, always fearing for their career and future.
Theres very few people in this position, and im glad they're not wasting it, or taking it for granted.
Also im sure in a better society all developers would take at least 8 years for their games no matter the scope, because when you have no deadlines or higher ups, im sure making games is fun

I think the thing Hollow Knight does the best out of all Metroidvanias is character movement (although I would put Metroid Dread on the same level). Everything else is good and solid as well but nothing you couldn't experience in a Castlevania for example

I think dread is unbeatable in that regard, some secrets in that game had me doing combos with my fingers i never thought i was able to do. The way you can chain the different abilities is insane, and the sequence breaking in that game still impresses me to this game. But i'd agree hollow knight beats most other metroidvanias in that regard.
Unrelated, but to me HK has always been more of a soulslike than a traditional metroidvania. It always reminded me of Dark Souls specifically. The map feels more like a lordran than a zebes or the Castle of SOTN for example.
There are also the many other traditional souls elements like the bonfire system, the corpse retrieval, the boss design, the lore.
In fact, as a pure metroidvania, there are many id put above it, but as a game, it really is stellar, though i never really understood this unreal hype for the sequel. I just hope people havent put unrealistic expectations on this team
Will never forget clearing the pantheon of hallownest.. prob my last great gaming achievement
