In terms of design and atmosphere I think both are really well done in their genre, but if you don't like Roguelikes (Hades) or Metroidvania-style games (Hollow Knight) they may not be for you.

Hades has a robust cast to interact with, while Hollow Knight is more solitary exploration-combat.

Did you play the first one?

In both cases (Hollow Knight and Hades) I'd recommend starting with the first one. I haven't played Hades 2 yet, but it looks like both games expect players to have played the first one as onboarding to skills required.

Deadlines aplenty right now so I haven't had much time for Silksong, but I have completed some difficult parts of Act 2.

Most challenges in the game initially seem brutal, but I've been able to overcome them with patience and/or tackling it later after gaining other tools/abilities.

After working on my webcomic Witch-Slayer with my co-creator @rosegarou.bsky.social for over a year now, I can confirm that all of the advice @jimzub.bsky.social has listed on his comic script critique is one hundred percent correct and will aid you in writing comics, especially point number one!

Reminder that I started a new series for aspiring comic book self publishers and those that want to break into creator-owned comics or a literary publisher. I cover getting an agent and creating a proposal. Great for narrative designers / screenwriters that want to try something new. #makingcomics

Popped by Dungeon Comics in Oakville to sign some CONAN THE BARBARIAN #25 shop variants illustrated by Mike Rooth ahead of release next week.

Mike did a great image with the classic Marvel logo to enhance the old school feel.
