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.

Great but so frustrating
It was fun, it was beautiful, it was funny, it was epic, it was super challenging, but it was also so frustrating >:( I honestly think devs need to tweak a few things here and there to "fix" some issues. I'm not talking about putting an easy mode or removing double damage, I'm just saying they need to take a look at a few things: 1. "Runbacks" (a.k.a bench to boss fight path): I understand all this "git gud" thing and that's ok, but if you don't want to "git unninstalled" then you should "git less frustrating". It's not that runbacks exist, the problem is that most of them are completely annoying. For contrast, there is one boss fight that i can remember that doesn't force you to start from the bench, meaning you died and then respawn right there to try again over and over. That boss fight was really challenging and super fun to learn and evetually overcome. This is the "git gud" i'm talking about. Unfortunately, it would seem Team Cherry hasn't learned from previous mistakes, which btw are tiny in comparison to Silksong 2. Collecting rosaries sucks If you thought the simple act of collecting geo was kinda odd then you don't have any idea how awful is to run behind these rosaries. Just add some angular friction to those circle colliders and that should do the trick. 3. Double damage A little spider does the same amount of damage than the final boss... that can't be right. Whether this was intentional or not, there is no denying this feels wrong/unbalanced. The rest is really good: - The art is gorgeous - Music is absolutely fantastic - Exploration is very fun, oh and the world is a lot more fun to look at in comparison with HK. - Hornet's movement is glorious. - The game can be hard but in a good way and most boss fights are great. - Funny characters and voices. - Being able to save the currency you have is a great addition Overall, I think HK is a "better" less linear most open metroidvania, but there is no denying this one is fantastic and you should buy it.

Even better than the first one
That's it, it's amazing. Movement is much improved, shorter runbacks to bosses, deepr combat... what else can you ask for.

The perfect continuation
I was scared that it was going to be worse than Hollow Knight, but for now it is perfect
