I played, beat and enjoyed Nine Sols, all of the Dark Souls games and Bloodborne. I even beat Chapter 9 of Celeste and got the Moon Berry. I also really loved Hollow Knight and after 80 hours in Silksong and beating most of Act 3 I'm finally and irrevocably fed up with its bull**it. People often say TC love their work but I'm starting to think it's ALL they actually care about. I feel betrayed and trolled like never before. It really feels like they don't give a s**t about 90% of people who play their games. Silksong was designed to burn you out, little by little, and punish you for every little failure, and even when you succeed, often the only reward you get is yet another time-consuming slog through bile and waves of enemies. Real life is like that. Adults in 2025 don't need that in a game. I get that life in Australia is easy - especially if you are filthy rich like TC - but imagine that: most of your player base is NOT in Australia. Most of us are not carefree millionaires. I like a good challenge, but this game, despite all the beauty and wonderful movement mechanics, is just an elitist, soul-draining, mean-spirited slog. And the fact there's so much to like here only makes the trolling hurt all the more.
TO THE ONES RATING THE GAME WITH ONE STAR ONLY BECAUSE they didn't get an upgrade to the Game of the Year edition: are you out of your mind? It's exactly the same, there's NO DIFFERENCE whatsoever between the GOTY edition and the regular edition of the game. The only thing that is different is the little cover art in your library. Is this a good enough reason to give this game one star? Damn I'm really worried about the future of humanity because of people like you, guys. As for the game itself, all have been said already. It's fantastic, it's worth the full price, buying it for its sale price is a steal. Get it now, it deserves all the praise it got.
...which makes a horror game less scary than it should be. I liked it, I liked the premise, execution and graphics. I didn't like, as I said, overload of repetitive combat sequences... and controls are a little sluggish. Still, a very good game with some great pop-culture references.
People listen, don't buy this game. It's one hell of an addicting piece of wonderful crap... or a city simulator as some would call this... this,,, horror... Fuck you Maxis, give me my life back.
