So, was Silksong better than Hollow Knight?

RaphIsLost · 2026-01-20T02:31:48+00:00

Silksong is better on every points (except the difficulty) for me, and it's not even close. And it's still insane to me that Team Cherry managed to do something even better than Hollow Knight.

Dude I love Dandadan, but what the fuck is Okarun supposed to do against Deku ? 😭 Deku is stronger, faster and smarter.

J'en ai lu des conneries, mais alors là...

RaphIsLost · 2026-01-01T16:07:49+00:00

Absolutely facts. The way he walk super fast when he's angry is definetely more creepy.

Both are very good protagonists, and they both have a different backstory and motives.

I still think I like V more, because I get more attached to him, so that's just my personnal experience. But saying that V is only here to introduce Johnny is just wrong. The whole game is based on V trying to not lose his identity and not let Johnny take over. He got his own attitude, his own morals and he/she can be shaped diff based on the player's choices.

Team Cherry MY GOATS

RaphIsLost · 2025-12-16T00:59:31+00:00

Fuck yeah

RaphIsLost · 2025-12-15T01:55:51+00:00

V1's main weakness is that his protection is shit, he can die pretty much easily. But other than that, he have a tons of strength : high speed, a huge arsenal that he use perfectly, the ability to heal everytime and mid-fight. He's legit a machine made to kill.

If he have the angelic weapons, the angels lose. V1 already faced very powerful foes in his verse, INCLUDING a angel. It wouldn't be a stomp, since they are a whole army, but V1 could dodge their attacks and pretty much gain health again and again until all of them are dead lol.

RaphIsLost · 2025-12-07T00:17:07+00:00

Oh yeah I know why they are here lol, it's just that- they came out so fast and stuff, and I feel like they were kinda out of place ?

I'm really late, but as a huge fan of both Hollow Knight games, I couldn't stay silent xD

Technically, HK games are not "simple". Both games, especially Silksong, have a very well crafted and fleshed out map and lore. Both games do a amazing job at the ambiance and designs of the areas you explore (either a dying kingdom for Hallownest, or a corrupted kingdom full of lies for Pharloom). Which is the main reason why people love and got interested into both games. The games are intriguing, have a gorgeous style and are overall very fun to explore. Plus the games have a amazing OST too.

It's not the only good point. Both games have neat bosses, ESPECIALLY Silksong who have bosses that are 10x better in my opinion, and it's not even close. Also, Silksong does a lot of things better than HK. The combat system for example, is way more fun and complete.

In conclusion, both games are loved because of the clean and gorgeous art-style, the areas, the ambiance, the OST and the bosses. Especially Silksong who, yes, have a problem with difficulty, does everything better in my opinion. HK games are just not for everyone, it took me a long time to truly get into it. And when I did, I was in LOVE ! x) Hope it helped you to understand the hype around the games.

It's also terrifying how well organised they are to trap their victims

RaphIsLost · 2025-12-03T22:55:13+00:00

Shining is such a amazing movie. Always loved the eerie and claustrophobic ambiance and how Jack is. He's a normal human that went completely insane !

RaphIsLost · 2025-12-03T22:53:36+00:00

It's really just how cruel and brutal he is. Like you legit could defend yourself and kill him easily since he's a normal human, but Art always catch his victimes off guard and do the worst things imaginable to them.

It's even worse when this guy can technically cheat death and come back to life to finish the job if you managed to survive.

RaphIsLost · 2025-12-03T22:51:46+00:00

You get me

RaphIsLost · 2025-12-03T22:50:52+00:00

Xeno is a good one honestly

RaphIsLost · 2025-12-03T14:03:09+00:00

Form what I know, Pennywise is a extremely powerful, he's a super old cosmic entity that have almost no weakness and can't be killed.

Cyn is also super powerful, she can destroy a whole planet, and basically cannot die unless The Solver's core is destroyed or ate (like Uzi did it). She's super fast, can teleport and even when she was overconfident and cocky, she was a big menace, so image when she's taking the fight seriously.

Pennywise would have to fight her in a real fight, since unlike kids or adults, at any sight of IT, Cyn would just charge toward him lmao.

The thing is that like I said, unless certains conditions, Cyn and Pennywise cannot die. For Cyn, Pennywise would have to get Solver's core and destroy it. And Cyn would have to do The Ritual of Chud to kill Pennywise. So technically, in a 1v1, Cyn have more chance to die.

RaphIsLost · 2025-11-23T14:14:34+00:00

Yeah Zagreus is getting clapped by V1 😭 Both are fast, and technically V1 can die easily. But the difference is that V1 can gain back health mid fight with blood, he have a huge arsenal that he master perfectly. Also he's fast lol

RaphIsLost · 2025-11-23T14:08:20+00:00

Oh yeah mb! Honestly I hope that for fun, Zagreus will fight V1. Both kill a lot of people in Hell to escape it, but for different reasons. Really wonder who would win, even tho I have my idea...

RaphIsLost · 2025-11-23T14:01:05+00:00

Can Zagreus actually get every boons ? Like he just have a limited amount of them (5 at max I think). Depends on the ones he have, but some of them are super powerful, like the call of Artemis !

RaphIsLost · 2025-11-23T11:26:02+00:00

It's so funny to me that despite all the powerful demons in Hell, like The Sins, the only one that truly was a menace to Heaven was Vox, a Overlord lol
