It's great being able to play Silksong on a laptop as I can do it in the bedroom when the kids don't settle properly, but I think I should save some of the harder stuff for the big computer. Silksong has an uncapped framerate so maybe the extra responsiveness of the big monitor might make a difference. Plus, the game looks gorgeous in 4k
NGL I hadn't heard about Hollow Knight until last week and kinda wanna give it a whack, but it looks like a lot of precision jumping and I'm just not great at that. I've been playing Odi and the Blind Forest and precision timing/jumping wears me out really quickly.
There are some sections of very precision platforming. The hardest parts are towards the end of the game and are completely optional based on what ending you want. They are both tough games, but they're so cheap you can just pick Hollow Knight up and just give it a go. Plus, it's Australian made.
Twisted my arm, thank you! :D
