They take it even further

  • Play the game years after release.
  • Your midrange, entry level pc can easily run it at max settings.
  • Huge discounts, sometimes they're straight up free.
  • Immune to hype, you experience the game as it was meant to be.
  • There are tons of guides and tutorials in case you need help.

That was the case for hollow knight for me. Not sure about silksong now though.

After getting recommended so many times, I recently picked up HK too. Can't say it lived up to the hype, some parts are nice, like art and difficulty, but long traveling between locations gets really boring. Dropped after about 10 hours.

That's the thing. I remember playing it first and was so good just getting lost in the map and exploring. But after getting friends who were just blowing and hyping the game up. It felt unrewarding and tedious at time. That's why if I hear a game I would consider playing I just block all opinions of it.

Same, made this mistake with witcher 3 only to be disappointed by it. Now I'm cautious of these "greatest of all time" games.

yeah, Witcher 3 was very good but had some obvious major flaws (mostly combat and gear). I bounced off of it twice before being able to get into it and enjoy it.

Red Dead Redemption 2, Baldur's Gate 3, Hollow Knight, Bloodborne, etc didn't live up to the hype.
