Worthy sequel & Masterpiece in own right
If you loved Hollow Knight, and are ready for a significant increase in challenge, this is the game for you. If you've never played the original, definitely start there... this game's difficulty is higher in almost every regard (think 4th or 5th pantheon bosses, but some are much harder). This is the Sekiro to HK's Dark Souls. It's much faster, requires much more precision, your personal skill will be pushed to the extreme, but when you overcome the challenges they feel that much more earned. There are so many amazing areas, so many things to explore (even more than the original game), so many great boss fights/set pieces, touching moments, etc. A lot of criticism that I've seen stems from some extremely difficult sections, and while there are ways to use tools/tricks (like in HK), this game will still demand a high level of technical skill. Perhaps in the future they will implement easy and easier modes (similar to Lies of P) so they don't have to nerf the current experience, but just be aware that this game will punish you if you refuse to learn and adapt (unlike HK where for 85% of the game you could get away with some degree of brute forcing through the game). HK was a 10/10, and I'm happy to say that Silksong is not just a fantastic game in its own right, but a worth successor. Just be ready for a fight. (100% completion on 1.0.28714)
