I barely even glanced at Godhome since I had hit 106% on the Switch when it came out, but in my second play through thanks to PS+ I’m hittin’ the Pantheons.

And I hit Pure Vessel for the first time last night. :kstare:

Checking on what I have to do *after* that, I’m not sure I’m gonna be hitting that Platinum after all.

Each of the first three Pantheons ends with a new and unique boss fight, and then unlocks a fourth Pantheon upon completion of all three. The fourth Pantheon's final boss is the Pure Vessel who is essentially the Hollow Knight if he never got corrupted; he's much faster, has Radiance-esque radial swords, replaces his infection based moves with void tendrils, and can focus like the Knight except his focus causes massive explosions rather than healing him.

I do think fighting the Knight with the full capabilities of the charm set would've been a great idea though.

There's also the fifth and final Pantheon which is every boss in the game, including new gimmicks on some of them, including a basically double-speed Radiance with an extra stage of the battle to finish everything off that's like the second stage but with even less ground/platforms to fight on.

Team Cherry outright said already that Silksong is not going to be at E3 this year

Why would I trust the words of a development team that has never even released a single Silksong?

And yet you recommend a 360 controller for a 2D platformer. Curious!

Less flippantly I do agree that 8Bit-Do's quality control and documentation is not the best and I know more than a few people who have had problems with their products. But I only own an SN30Pro (from when they still looked like actual SNES controllers) and it still works just fine for anything I've thrown it at.

I think Metroid Dread is pretty much the only 2D platformer I've played with an analog stick that didn't make me itch uncontrollably to be using a d-pad instead though. I also don't have any problems with the JoyCon d-buttons, so well aware I'm in a minority on that one.

I played for the first time on Switch so I don't think I ever noticed any performance issues, but when I replayed it later on PS4 I definitely felt improved which may have been familiarity with the game or better performance or both.
