Pretty and charmingly mean-spirited, this is a game filled with revelations and genuine personality.

9/10
Hollow Knight: Silksong is packed full of sharp platforming, enticing exploration, and nail-biting combat that's all unapologetically challenging in just the right way.

90/100
Silksong can be ruthless, but it's hard to pry yourself away from its haunted little world that never seems to end.

GOTY certified
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.

Everything I needed it to be!
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.

What could have been a masterpiece...
... is spoiled by bad design decisions. Game is even "hard", it's just unfair and vile at times. Play the first, it's the superior version. I understand why they didn't send test versions to journalists...

Silksong - A Godmaster Sequel
I feel like Team Cherry painted themselves into a corner with this one. Release an easier, Hollow Knightier, version of this game and upset all of the people who want a thumb crushing marathon. Or release what we got, and please the Godmaster crew, at the expense of the casuals. The sad part is, if they had just marketed the game, instead of throwing it out, with little advanced notice, they could have pleased both: "Silksong! Like Hollow Knight, but with 75% more hand cramping!" Everyone knows where they fall on the game completion scale, and they could have made an informed decision. Having said that, I wanted to like, and do like, this game. I just know I will never complete it. So. The pros and cons: Pros: The game is every bit as beautiful and captivating as Hollow Knight. A joy to both the eyes and ears. Hornet is a blast to play. A regular quicksilver as opposed to our wandering knight. The controls are as responsive as the first, and MOST of her moves are a delight. The Price. Worth every penny of that $20. Even knowing I won't see quite a bit of it. I purchased Hollow Knight on three different platforms, and still felt like Team Cherry was under-pricing it. Cons: The lack of transparency about the difficulty of this game. Much more playtesting feedback would have solved this problem. Some of the call outs to the original game just seemed kind of unoriginal to me. Hmm. I got my maps in Hollow Knight by tracking down a humming bug in the area I was in, but in Silksong............................ There are others, and some people may have liked this nostalgia, but it just fell flat for me. So, is this a 1 star, or a 5 star game? Yes. Yes it is.
