Fun, but hard. Sometimes in a bad way.

If you like metroidvanias, and enjoy ARPG boss fights like DMC, Dark Souls, and the Kingdom hearts series, there's a lot to love here. All the fun platforming and bosses of the first one, but dialed up to 11. HOWEVER...I mean 11. I feel like TC made this game specifically for people who JUST finished smething like PoH in the first game and are at their best ready for the next challenge....Is what I WOULD say, however some of the difficutly is more "frustrating/unfair" difficulty. In the first game, the first time you see one of the fly trap enemies there's a geode deposit just past it, you naturally run to it, and see the fly trap snap after you move off it. Great game design to show the player "this exists, if you get hit by one now, its your fault" That does not happen in silksong. Many enemies are placed SPECIFICALLY to hit you when you don't know they're there or what they do. Often enemies withbouncing or explosive attacks are placed in small tight areas. Bosses hitboxes do massive damage to you even while they're staggered, and Hornet's movement may be more "fluid" than The Knight's, but that leaves the game feeling less "tight." Along with plenty of frustrating boss runbacks that have annoying enemies placed with platforming, that overall makes the game more "annoying/frustrating" than just "harder" in my opinion. I also don't enjoy the equipment system as much as I do the first one. It seems hornet is far more limited in "builds" so far. I currently have 3 of the crests, and all in all, there's less to equip so far and you're very limited on how you can equip things. I'm pretty sure you DO unlock more later in the game, however at this point in the first one I was very much able to put together a basic "build" The platforming suffers from the same as enemy difficulty...sometimes seeming "unfair" HOWEVER. All the negative in this review is only to show that literally everything else about the game is a 10/10. Overall, fantastic, if a bit frustrating.

Pain and Suffering with a killer OST

one of the most difficult games I've ever played and I am mostly enjoying this game. I wish they would patch it so that random enemies won't hit you for two health damage and that certain bosses need a rebalance. I will try my best to continue playing this amazing game until I either finish or I admit the bugs have won...also 15/10 sountrack, makes the pain worth it

Beautiful, frustrating, let down.

First Hollow Knight is one of the, or if not the best metroidvania out there. I just adore it. For the first 10-ish hours Silksong was amazing. Maybe the level design isn't at the peak level of HK, but it's still fine and dandy, and the world is interesting place to explore. But then the frustration kicks in, I just can't get comfortable platforming with the tight, precise pogojumps needed even with the easier crests. That drained the joy of out coming back to the game so much, that I've eventually didn't even bother to try it anymore. For those who handle it, Silksong might be the best there is, but for me, it's too much.

Is it worth it? Yes

The good: -Looks beautiful. The details are astonishing and the flow of the animations feels incredible. -Fast paced gameplay: you are fast and you are suppossed to take advantage of it. That doesn't mean that you can just blindly hit enemies, there's a risk-reward system when it comes to healing, but combat is definitely quite agile. -Huge map with lots of secrets. -Challenging but fair bosses. The game is tough but I can't say it's not fair. With enough practice you can persevere. -Since Hornet can talk, she has an engaging personality. The bad: -Everything Bilewater related is not something to enjoy, I'm, not sure why developers keep on including certain mechanics. -The road to the bosses is usually harder than most other metroidvanias out there. You're going to die a lot before you even get to the boss. And by the time you do, you'll realize that you have to kill several enemies again when you respawn. -The quest system...is uneven. Some missions are fun and engaging, but others feel too much like errands. Is it a perfect game? Definitely not. But it's a really good experience and a worthy contender for the title of best metroidvania.
