@DwaynesGames I agree, $10 isn't a ton of money, but I try to determine if I can get my money's worth out of a game before I purchase, especially if I haven't played the game before.
I am still considering this game though because it looks fun and this is probably my only chance to play it.
@theberrage If your cocoon spawned just outside the boss area, then you couldn't use it during battle, which would be worse in my opinion.
I always try to keep as many rosaries on strands as I can, so if I die or don't want to go back to the boss fight right away, I won't mind losing the small amount of rosaries I had on hand.
You can also use a Silkeater to get your cocoon back.
So far I have gotten my money's worth. I bought it when it was on sale, I believe it was $48 for the deluxe edition.
It is a lot like Animal Crossing. Starts off slow, but once you start getting visitors coming to your island it picks up. There is a lot to do, takes me about 1 1/2 hours to do everything every day.
I have had a ton of fun with this game, so I bought the DLC, no questions asked.
FWIW, based on the number of fast travel spots, the new area appears to be huge. Still too early for me to know if it is worth the money.
There was also a free update today. I don't know everything that was included, but I have already noticed some additional animations, updated icons and 3 visitors that were previously only available in the Apple Arcade version.
Edit: They have also updated the map, much more detail now. Looks great!
@Deemo37 I don't know what to do. I have faced the Last Judge a couple times and have gotten destroyed. Watching videos of people beating him just make me feel like I will never beat him.
This is a weird thing to get upset about, IMO. Even if you die here, you will remember that this is a trap, and not sit down. Should only kill you once.
@MoldyPasta It is fun, but right now it is more frustrating than fun, if that makes sense. I am hoping I can get a map soon, but I had to stop playing for today before I got too frustrated.
I never played the first Hollow Knight, but decided to get Silksong because it wasn't too expensive and it has a Switch 2 Edition.
So far I am stuck, having no idea where to go. I found the map guy once, but I didn't have any money to buy a map. If I can find some money and somehow get back to the map guy, I might be able to do something, but right now it is a little frustrating.
@EarthboundBenjy I am pretty sure the save data will transfer over, but if you still have a Switch 1, do the virtual game card thing before you go to your brother's house. Then you will know for sure.
@BTB20 Haha, yeah, I have been a regular here for a long time. 🙂
Looking at my original comment on this story, I wonder how I knew about the New Play Control version being released in Japan? There must have been a different article here that talked about it.

@vio Pretty sure you can turn that off somehow. I see people login without it telling me what game they are playing.

I am hoping there will be a much shorter loading time.

@RoboCube Switch 2 version has mouse controls as an option.

Re: The Next Arcade Archives Release Will Have Mouse Controls On Switch 1 & 2
I would like to try this game out, but I doubt I could get $8-$10 worth of entertainment out of it.

@SoIDecidedTo You have to move the games via virtual game cards to whatever system you want to play on before traveling.

Re: Hello Kitty Island Adventure's Cuddly DLC Welcomes The Wheatflour Fairy Today
@anoyonmus Great. It stutters a tiny bit here and there, but nothing that would bother most people.
I have 100+ hours into it so far, with lots to do still.
Re: Review: Hollow Knight: Silksong - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition - Woven To Brutal Perfection
@Deemo37 I worked hard this weekend and beat the Last Judge. Took me 5 hours, but it very satisfying!
Re: Hello Kitty Island Adventure's Cuddly DLC Welcomes The Wheatflour Fairy Today
@rjejr How much is the base game on Apple Arcade?
So far I have gotten my money's worth. I bought it when it was on sale, I believe it was $48 for the deluxe edition.

Re: Team Cherry Explains Hollow Knight: Silksong's "Steep Difficulty"
I am playing Hello Kitty Island Adventure and Silksong, and it is quite a difference in challenge, in a good way.

@Deemo37 Isn't the "secret route" insanely tough as well?

Re: Round Up: Every "Exciting New Game" From The Acclaim Showcase
Run-DMC made a quick appearance in the Basketball Classics trailer. Makes me wonder if the game will include licensed music?
It really reminds me of Double Dribble, which is cool, at least to me.

@Anti-Matter You are going to be announced as "Nintendo Fan of the Year!".
You do have to watch to claim your prizes, however.
Re: Hollow Knight: Silksong's Upcoming Patch Will Nerf The Difficulty In Certain Areas
I finally beat Sister Splinter last night. I don't know how many tries it took me, but it took me around 3 hours.
Very happy to be able to wall jump now!
Re: First Impressions: Same But Different? - Our Initial Hours With Hollow Knight: Silksong
@MoldyPasta Agreed. I am going to have to be patient and take breaks before I get too frustrated.

@PikaPhantom Or is just the title screen Full HD (1080p)?
A weird way for them to word the statement.
