Rated Skong: not for everyone

The game was never supposed to be perfect by any measure. It has unreasonably strong enemies from the very beginning, long parkour sections with sometimes little to no reward worth the effort and still it's such a nice challenge. The feeling of accomplishment after hours hitting yourself head-first against a boss. When you finally get new equipment, new movements, new abilities, it's awesome. Feeling yourself growing stronger, more nimble, more daring. I just wish more people played it for the love of the game instead of views and trends. If you don't enjoy it, it's fair to drop it. If you stay prepare for a trip.

A triumphant sequel

This does everything you could want in a sequel, while still being brilliant as a standalone game. As expected, the art and exploration is at the top of the game. Truly some of the best ever made. Even through years of hype, it surpased my expectations, with the map feeling ever expanding to a ridiculous point. The combat is incredibly fun and tight, with some real standout bosses. The difficulty may be offputting for some, but I never found it to be frustrating. Tough yes, but deeply rewarding. The story is wonderful, and especially having a prior connection to characters, feels deeply resonant. A serious game of the year, in a year jam packed with incredible experiences.

What a game!

Silksong is one of the best games I've ever played. I finished the game twice so far, with 100% completion each, and while I found a few areas difficult in my first playthrough, the second playthrough felt much easier and made me really appreciate how awesome the combat and platforming are. (The only exception is Bilewater!)

Worth the wait

If, like me, you enjoyed Hollow Knight primarily for its ability to create an incredible atmosphere while exploring, you will also get that from Silksong. It is an absolute joy to slowly map out Pharloom, to meet its bugs and to find out exactly what is happening to the kingdom. Christopher Larkin absolutely brings it again (as if there was any doubt), the music is incredible and you will be going back to certain areas just to rest and listen like you did in Hallownest. Music is also an aspect of gameplay that is beautifully tied into finding secrets and storytelling. I disagree with the idea that Silksong is too hard or that enemies are overtuned. Especially given that one aspect of games like this is to essentially be an adversity overcoming simulator. But yes, the game can be very difficult in that much of the combat and platforming requires a lot of mechanical finesse. The enemies and environmental hazards both hit Hornet a lot harder than you might be expecting coming from Hollow Knight. However, in return you are given much greater freedom in the tools you can use for both combat and exploration, down to the way Hornet controls. I won't spoil any of the specific unlocks but the amount of options you are given is immense. You will most likely get stuck many times. You bash your head only to go back and sit on the bench to tinker with Hornets loadout. I get that that loop can push people away after a point but if you know that you are comfortable with that, then you will push through and probably really enjoy it. This is a special one and I'm glad that Team Cherry have stuck the landing after such a long build up.
