The author revisited the game Hollow Knight, reflecting on their past gaming choices, particularly between Hollow Knight and Rain World in early 2017. They spent significant time exploring Hollow Knight's intricate design and secrets, with a completionist run taking over 60 hours. The author advises against rushing through Hollow Knight before the release of its sequel, Silksong, as it may affect the enjoyment of both games. Silksong features a new protagonist and a different kingdom, and while it may include nods to Hollow Knight, it does not continue its narrative. The author emphasizes the value of slow exploration in Hollow Knight, suggesting that taking time with the game can enhance the overall gaming experience.
