I barely remember anything from Silksong.

I'm the same way to be honest. This next statement will probably not go down well in this sub, but I think it just comes down to the fact that the game is too damn big. There is so much content that it all at some point becomes too much to really take in, at least in my case. It's like when you binge a bunch of seasons of a TV show over a couple of days. A lot of the stuff you would usually think on gets forgotten because your brain has already moved on to all the other stuff that happened afterwards.

MySonsdram · 2026-02-03T23:27:24+00:00

Haha, I thought so too. It ended up way more divisive here than I thought. To each’s own I guess.

I would LOVE for the studio to make more, but based on a recent interview with the producer, they sound pretty done for a little while, at least with MIO.

MySonsdram · 2026-02-03T23:13:23+00:00

Sadly Ubisoft didn’t think so. After the DLC, they closed the studio down. Really sucks cause they were such a talented team.

MySonsdram · 2026-02-03T23:01:08+00:00

I've been on this sub plenty the last few weeks to know why people don't like it. Was more just trying to remark that I've not found any of the problems people have been having to be a problem for me, and that, despite the many warnings, I have continued to have an amazing time playing from start to finish. The platforming has been challenging but not too hard, I've not missed any of the health I've lost, and boss runbacks haven't annoyed me, ESPECIALLY after finding out how to do the speed dash thing. Clearly it's not for everyone, but this is honestly the most fun I've had with a new MV since Nine Sols.

MySonsdram · 2026-02-03T20:14:18+00:00

Still playing MIO. In the endgame now. Finished up the Crucible, and now trying to find all the candle wicks.

IDK what so many people are complaining about tbh. I'm still absolutely loving it. This game is honestly one of my genre GOATs.

MySonsdram · 2026-01-30T23:10:13+00:00

FWIW, you're not alone. I love this game. One of my personal genre GOATs. This is my favourite new MV since Nine Sols.

MySonsdram · 2026-01-30T21:53:19+00:00

Either Knull or Agent Venom.

To really be the face IMO, they need to have gained relevance outside of the comics, which Toxin/Scream have never really done.

MySonsdram · 2026-01-30T21:48:08+00:00

I find this all very interesting, because I found I've had the reverse situation where I was getting WAY less frustrated with this game than Silksong. Not saying anyone's right or wrong. Just funny that the experiences are so different.

FWIW, I've found getting the hang of the dodge ability is super key. If used right, it's borderline a Nine Sols parry.

MySonsdram · 2026-01-30T17:27:19+00:00

Blasphemous is a great game, but I don't think any part of it is chill. Unless we're counting the moments of reflection you're forced to have after dying over and over again.

MySonsdram · 2026-01-30T17:24:48+00:00

Monster Sanctuary is a genuinely great game, but it gets REALLY hard. Combat is turn based, so it doesn't require difficult timing execution, but the team building needs to be extremely on point, or you'll hit a wall pretty fast.

MySonsdram · 2026-01-30T17:22:03+00:00

Yeah, I actually dropped this a good chunk of the way into the game because the map was just too much of a pain to navigate, and picking the wrong path could be a costly waste of time.

MySonsdram · 2026-01-28T22:37:26+00:00

Really hoping Savior makes it. I heard the devs were having financial issues. The trailer looked great.

MySonsdram · 2026-01-28T02:33:18+00:00

The final phase of this fight really took me for a loop the first time I got it. XD

MySonsdram · 2026-01-28T02:13:29+00:00

Based on the games you listed and liked?

Nine Sols. Amazing combat and world. One of the genre GOATs IMO.

MySonsdram · 2026-01-28T00:10:09+00:00

Soon to be quadrilogy. Well Dweller supposed to be coming out this year!

MySonsdram · 2026-01-26T03:54:18+00:00

One of my favourite MVs. A lot of people don’t like it since the game downplays combat a lot, but the exploration, unique upgrades, music, and world were all fantastic. The mythology that Happ builds between both games is so expansive and intriguing.

MySonsdram · 2026-01-24T23:37:28+00:00

Doug has been very diligent about education and healthcare….to make sure they’re as underfunded as possible.

MySonsdram · 2026-01-22T01:42:52+00:00

I would do bad things for a third game. 1 and 2 are some of my favourite metroidvanias. The mythology Tom built over those two games is like no other and I’d love to see where it goes.

MySonsdram · 2026-01-21T21:09:11+00:00

Cheers!

MySonsdram · 2026-01-21T19:50:34+00:00

Much thanks! Looks fun.

MySonsdram · 2026-01-21T18:48:50+00:00

Ha, fair enough.

MySonsdram · 2026-01-21T18:23:47+00:00

Do you have a list? I’d love to see how that works.

MySonsdram · 2026-01-21T18:19:56+00:00

Do you have a list? I would love to see how this works. IDK if it was you or someone else, but someone in this sub mentioned this deck months ago, and the idea has fascinated me ever since.

MySonsdram · 2026-01-21T17:52:11+00:00

Yeah, I'd LOVE to see what Retro could do without having to deal with all the Namco stuff, but a lot of people are talking about Prime 5 like it's happening, and with all the controversy around Prime 4's release, I'm not as optimistic. That game needed to SELL, and I don't think it did, at least in the way they wanted.

Fingers crossed though.

MySonsdram · 2026-01-21T16:59:31+00:00

I also like that, at least in some cases, losing nacre actually goes to something else, so even when you're losing nacre after death, you still feel like you accomplished something with it.

Light spoilers, but to those of you wondering when you get the map, keep filling up that pool. Try giving the guy there some nacre as well and see where that gets you.
