being an old sucks. I have so little time to game these days between work / parenting / time with family and friends etc. My backlog of games just from the last 2 months alone has grown massively and the months ahead has even more to add to the pile.

The urge to just go full anti-social son of a bitch and binge is strong but I just cant get away with it anymore.

Haven't even played it yet, but I'm going to preemptively say that this game is going to kick my ass.
The old man in me is praying for difficulty settings/sliders a la 9 Sols, but I plan on suffering with a smile either way.

Someone who needs to git gud

Really curious to see how well this performs and is received after years of anticipation, not too long to go now.

Bit over 4 hours left, 16:00 for the CET bros.

Hornet will say it herself, to your face.

No reviews for this at all before launch?

I think they said they weren't allowing anyone to play it ahead of the kickstarter backers including reviewers

Nope, Team Cherry: "felt like it'd be unfair for critics to be playing before Kickstarter backers and other players.".

No Hollow Knight Silksong reviews at launch, says Schreier, as Team Cherry thinks it’d be “unfair” for critics to play first

Hollow Knight Silksong finally has a launch date, but the much-hyped Metroidvania likely won't get reviews until after everyone's playing.

Steam discussions have some quality topics.

I played soccer with my kids all afternoon outside to wear them out. They're sleeping now. The evening is officially free for this momentous occasion. I hope everyone enjoys the game!

I'm 3rd in line for my Xbox
My 4 year old and 9 year old ahead of me
I don't know how I'll manage to get some time for silksong but I have to figure a plan out

Respect. This is the right decision.

Got a wee but into the first one, left it for a week, came back and had no clue where I was or what I was doing. Was certainly not a game for the faint-hearted.

Ori was far better IMO.

Will try this, but would like to see it being a bit more friendly out the box. Like a decent map you could follow as you enter new areas without jumping through hoops.

Hollow Knight is infamous for having shitty player guidance, half the people who played it got lost and stopped half-way through. Silksong hopefully fixes this.

It's not "shitty guidance", it's lack of handholding, which is a good thing.

It really isn't. It might feel more rewarding for those that persevere, but it can't hurt to help a little bit. Like a good map. I might have stuck around a bit longer if it was easier to get into.
