Watch On
I am going to admit, I wasn’t as inventive with my construct in Hole Knight: Silksong as I would wish to admit. I discovered one of many early weapon upgrades and sort of caught with that for the subsequent 30 hours.
It received the job finished, but it surely was nowhere near the facility of YouTuber Syrobe’s “simple mode” construct the place you’ve got an limitless provide of highly effective instruments.
