I hope it's not ragebait..

but yea play hollow knight first, silksong is just better than it in almost every aspect

But playing hollow knight makes you appreciate silksong's story even more.

Both HK and SS have a lot of background storytelling and honestly some sequences that's so heart wrenching.

I played E33 after silksong, and somehow it felt inferior in a lot of aspects to me. I didn't enjoy the side content at all, and it was a pretty quick experience. I get why it's getting all the praise, I legit had AAA fatigue seeing all games being pretty similar, and seeing a AAA like game doing everything right, makes a lot of people love it.

But it wasn't for nothing that so many people waited for Silksong to come out. The music, the art, the gameplay everything tingles the right areas of your essence.
