Experience a stunning orchestral score! Hollow Knight’s award-winning composer, Christopher Larkin, brings melancholy melodies, symphonic strings and heart-thumping, soul strumming boss themes to the adventure.
I would not recommend for players unfamiliar with the original Hollow Knight as it will not hold your hand and difficulty ramps up quickly, if you have played the previous game and enjoyed it then Silksong is a worthy successor to the franchise. The changes to gameplay make everything feel new and fresh. If you are like me and waited years for this, it is worth the wait!
Is the game hard yes. You have to watch and learn patterns off the bosses' movements and dodge and don't get greedy for attacks. This also applies to regular enemies, even the small ones. Hit and run. Not so fun.
Has the game made me angry yes. Then I take a break and try again later. Explore other parts of the world, collect a little money and buy upgrades. Then come back to the boss with a vengeance, and defeat it until the next boss crushes me. The wost thing i can say is that the game feels like it takes your time for granted. Constantly running back to bosses is annoying and mor painful than dying on the boss multiple times. And i have to be honest i've now started using guids.
Ther's are secret walls everywhere.
Among the sea of garbage that has been coming out this past few years, we finally have a game made with care and passion. Best game I've played in years.
Silksong had a lot of expectations leading up to its release, especially due to the 7 year buildup.
It was expected to be a masterpiece due to Hollow Knight's status as such and its devlopement time. These are impossible and unrealistic standards.
Yet somehow it met them.
This game excels as a metroidvania and a sequel to Hollow Knight. Both platforming and combat are challenging (We'll get to that) yet rewarding, exploration feels satisfying and the artwork and music deserve to put in Museums and studied. As someone who thinks Hollow Knight is my second favourite game of all time I had moderate expectations of Team Cherry's new work and it met them all.
Some people have complained that the game is too hard due to a prevelance of double damage, however this is offset by the game's new approach to healing and I believe it to offer a very challenging but difficult experience. This game is not for the faint of heart but those who persevere are in for one of the best end to end gaming experiences imaginable, especially if striving for true ending and 100%.
Team Cherry have, in my opinion, outdone the work they did on Hollow Knight and have set a new bar for Indie Games, Metroidvanias and not to mention at such a low price point.
They should be commended and receive all the praise that is rightfully coming to them.
I cannot recommned this game enough, it is a 10/10 mustplay for all fans of metroidvanias, platformers, soulslikes and cute little bugs.
Thank you Team Cherry I can't wait to see what you make next, see you on the road ahead.
