minus-squareCanaconda@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 month agoI have no clue what Hollow Knight is other than than individual people being pumped for this silksong thing. No advertising. No “hype train”. Here’s hoping success stories like this shake some sense into the AAA gaming industry.
minus-squareZorque@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-21 month agoThe hype for silksong has been going so long that it’s become a meme🤡. Just because it’s not as obvious anymore doesn’t mean it no longer exists.
minus-squareviral.vegabond@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 month agoHollow Knight is amazing. If you’re into platformers or metroidvanias it’s a must play.
minus-squareCanaconda@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 month agoI certainly was when I was younger… Good ole Game Boy Color. Glad to see older genre’s are still going strong!
minus-squareMinnels@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 month agoWait… Older genres? Never thought of it that way but it is true that there are some new ones. When is a genre old? 20 years, 30 years?
minus-squareCoelacanth@feddit.nulinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 month agoThe 2D sidescroller base that’s at the foundation of Metroidvanias is quite a bit older than that, though, so I think it’s fair to call it an older genre. Even though it is fairly evergreen.
