An 18 minute video titled "everything about life sucks and is horrible" popped into my recommended, where the thumbnail shows a guy in his messy car just ranting into the camera. Not interested for so many reasons. So I use youtube's built-in feature for this exact scenario.

Of all the 100 reasons I'd never watch this crap, the only two options I'm given after, "tell us why" are "I've already watched the video" or "I don't like the video"... HOW CAN I SAY I DIDN'T LIKE THE VIDEO IF I HAVEN'T SEEN THE VIDEO??? Where is the "I WOULDN'T like this video" option or something like it? Where is the, I don't know... THIRD option?

Like damn, youtube. Help me help you. Google doesn't have enough money to come up with more than two useless options?

Part of me wants to just go simple and play the series sequentially, but then again there are plenty of game franchises where I'd recommend someone starts with the second or third iteration.

I'm a big fan of Hollow Knight and Silksong, and while I do see Silksong as an improvement in most ways, I'd still recommend people play Hollow Knight first since it's just a fantastic game on it's own. Hollow Knight is close enough to Silksong in terms of the overall experience that it doesn't make much sense to jump to the second game just for the improved combat loop and mechanics.

On the other hand, I always recommend Eternal first with the modern DOOM trilogy because it's objectively so much better than the first in just about every single way. DOOM 2016 was great, but Eternal might be the best game I've ever played.

What about Ori? Is it similar to Hollow Knight v Silksong? Or is the second iteration a massive enough improvement in gameplay that I should just start there?
