So I finally started Silksong last night. I was putting it off as I'm working my way through too many games right now but between Backloggd and @Bread's GOTY events I felt I had to get it under way before the year was out so that I know I voted for it if it deserved it.
I'm not very far in yet but already I'm loving the feel and the enigma of the locations. Getting back into the combat will take some time, I'm not quite used to Hornet's downwards aerial move after having such muscle memory for The Knight's but I'm excited to unlock more of her abilities. Having a protagonist that talks after the original feels a bit jarring, for some reason it didn't occur to me that they couldn't exactly have Hornet be mute after she was talkative in Hollow Knight. I feel like in game's like this a talking protagonist can end up with some slight Solid Snake Syndrome of just questioning what a character is already talking about. I trust the writers enough to yield it well though so we'll see!
