Anyone else playing/suffering through Hollow Knight Silksong?
Never had a more love/hate relationship with a game due to its difficulty, but after setting my stubborness aside and occasionally looking at a guide, I'm erring way more towards to love side.
I have completed Demons Souls, Dark Souls I - III, Sekiro, got the plat on Elden Ring and also the plat on Bloodborne (GOAT game don't @ me). But Hollow Knight legit scares me.
Been playing with the idea of grabbing both HK games for the Switch 2.

I’m playing silksong on Steamdeck. I like it but there is too much time between sessions so I tend to forget where I am and what I was doing in the game

@Nick how are you liking the switch 2? We have the Pokémon switch 2 in the closet as a Christmas gift, hard not to bust it out haha
I was an old time Nintendo fan, way way back. The original handhelds and then the first consoles. The S2 is the first modern day console I've owned from them and it was mainly because I wanted to play Breath of the Wild (and its sequel) properly and finally in 60fps.
I love it.
Got the new Mario Kart, Donkey Kong and also Wonder. Also have Disco Elysium and Balatro on it. It's sort of replaced my Steam Deck at this point for pick up and play bits. Defo decent for 'pc' indie games. I wont be using it for AAA games - PS5 can handle that heat.
Got it decked out in Dbrand gear too.

@Nick thanks for the info. We got one for the kids but I want one for Mario kart and donkey Kong country. Also looking forward to the new enter the gungeon. We enjoyed the switch 1 and this one looks like a huge improvement.

@ZackB The online discourse has and will always be a mess re: Nintendo, mostly for their bad PR. Lots of people saying it's just a Switch 1.5. Bit harsh that.
Anyways, they know how to make classic brilliant video games and Switch 2 is an upgrade. Donkey Kong Bonanza is digital crack.
60fps should be the basic on any new tech and they deliver. Obv OLED would have been nice but the screen is actually extremely good and 1080p on device, 4k on your tv (if supported).
Defo worth the purchase.

@Nick thanks for the info man! We loved the switch 1. Definitely not a serious gamer but Mario kart and donkey Kong country make it worth it to me. Good to hear some first hand experience.

Got the platinum on BALLxPIT last night. The game is a blast, but dangerously moreish. Playing it last weekend, I thought it could only be midnight at the latest, but it was actually 2:30am. Figuring out how to make completely broken builds that just delete all the enemies on screen was good fun. Highly recommended for the asking price of £12.
Now back to Yotei with Powerwash Simulator 2 as a more relaxed second option. I've only had a quick dabble in the latter, the visuals are far better, and they've added animations for the powerwasher which make everything seem more immersive. I will try digging in the settings to see if there is an option to revert to the control scheme of PwS1 though, as the new button layout is seriously messing with my head.
@Tago-Mago Yeah, a shame about Bloodlines 2, but a mixed game is a fairly regular outcome when a project gets passed between multiple studios like it was.
