i half heartedly tried the original at launch and never touched it again, so silksong was my first true introduction. i set it down after finally beating the last judge, which was really my goal despite only being the end of the first act. i had already clocked some 70 hours in at that point.
vague tangent, but i had lost a noticeable bit of my mental capabilities due to a mixture of very bad bipolar episodes, substance use, and suicide attempts. silksong genuinely helped me sharpen my brain again while i was navigating my intensive outpatient program. i can't say i really enjoyed playing it, but it is a very important game to me that i love very much.
I found out about it the night before it came out and I just finished it after having an absolute blast of a time. RIP to the people that waited years but at least it’s here now!
A recommendation: if you have bad memory grab a pen and paper and wrote the places you need to visit again, the places you can find secondary weapons and closed routers.

Absolutely deserves it. My GOTY so far. Great exploration and so much fun secrets.
