I don’t think Silksong is a AAA game. It’s a $20 game made by an indie developer with a relatively small team. It just happened to have a lot of hype because it’s the predecessor to the insanely popular Hollow Knight.
And I'm finding Hollow Knight insufferable. Mostly because I suck.
Word
Me too. It's beautiful. It's amazingly beautiful and interesting and kind of simple. But I hate twitchy platforming and being thrown back a long way because of a tiny mistake or ten every time.
OK, hyped, yes, but by who? I bet 90% of the people who hyped it and bought it ended up enjoying it. And that's justified. Not over hyped. What OP was thinking of Silksong is probably media exposure.
You're right. I've updated the comment.
