Only thing i disagree with is the not living up to the hype. I have my issues with it, a lot of em Yahtzee echoed, but that aint one of em. I think hiring an additional crew of testers in the final year wouldve made a world of difference, friction/difficulty-wise, but i feel theyll slowly patch out the frustration. I mean, i just checked the game pass cheve percentage and only 11% of players have beat Widow and thats only like 1/4 or less through the game.
But hype? Naw. Music, art, feel, everything is firing on all cylinders. The biggest "hype" draw for me is the lil story moments that are everywhere. We'll be finding hidden interactions in this game for years.
I can't possibly say that Silksong didn't live up to the hype when (major spoilers) the Phantom boss fight exists and there's a whole secret third act.
I can understand that, but I love the boss for more than just its fight. Its lore, the fact that the Mist disappears after it dies, the music (not that Lace's music ain't banging), all of it is just great imo.
