You might not have realized, but one of the most anticipated games of the decade just came out: Hollow knight - Silksong and as everyone expected, it's amazing. The game is huge, beautiful and endlessly surprising, but within Silksong's amazing qualities lies one thing keeping it from perfection, and that's the fact that without you noticing, Silksong taught you how to play it wrong.
But how did this happen? How did we accidently get tricked into playing Silksong in a way that's less fun, and what ways do games subtly teach and guide us from behind the scenes? Well, it's a little more complicated than you might think...
