It is not Hollow Knight

Very mixed feeling about this game after 30 hours of playtime (probably mid Act 2). Yes It is very good. Music is amazing, story I'm still a bit lost, scenario, art, everything very well designed. But the problem is...it is not getting fun anymore due to the increased dificulty. Hollow Knight was much more fun because you have the exploration part and the bosses, that was difficult but you have fun on learning process. In Silksong it seems that developers just try to punish you. Get Good they say, yes, that is the part of the game, but getting good it not fun in this game because of excess of punishment. I think that I will abandon the game. I play games for fun, not for stress. That is the reason I never played Soulslike games. As I said, unfortunately, for me, this is not Hollow Knight.

good but frustrating without mods

Very hard for casual players, it's a shame that the vanilla game does not give an option for easy difficulty. Modding required...

The greatest game you should never play

I am a fan of Metroidvanias and Soulslikes, and I have completed both Hollow Knight as well several Souls Games (among others). I fall squarely into the target audience for this game, and unfortunately, I cannot recommend it to anyone, even though I wanted to love it. The art design, the music, the themes, characters and story are all great. The moment-to-moment gameplay is incredibly tight. The problem with this game lies with its poor difficulty balance, very punishing encounters, and tediousness. This makes the game a frustrating, unrewarding experience rather than an interesting and tough challenge. Many times, the game feels actively hostile and antagonistic towards the player. The main issues lie not with the difficulty of the boss fights themselves, but the tedious runbacks, repeated and unskippable gauntlets, and some truly baffling design choices (such as having to farm shards to use tools, a major mechanic in the game). All together, this leaves you with the feeling of wasting your time, and beating a boss does not feel rewarding, rather you feel relief that you do not have to do this part of the game anymore. This is a shame, since the game, otherwise, is briiliant, and the issues it has have long been solved by other games in the genre (Elden Ring being the prime example). Of the target audience for this game, I believe only a small fraction will find it enjoyable. The rest will find their enjoyment overshadowed by intense frustration and a sense of wasting one’s time. Hence, I cannot recommend it.

Beautiful, Difficult, and An Experience

I was one of probably many who created a GOG account for the sole purpose of playing this game on release (because every other store crashed due to the massive influx of buyers) and I can say I was not disappointed. As someone that has completed everything on Hollowknight, barring the Pantheon of Hallownest (That boss rush is rough, man), the added difficulty to the game was actually a treat. I can understand the argument from many regarding its difficulty, but that's sort of Hollow Knight's style; That being a Metroidvania with those Souls-like elements. It's not for the faint of heart by any means and you may have to challenge bosses again and again, but if you're used to Fromsoft's amazing titles, then this is probably more of a pro for you than a con. Difficulty aside, the art in each setting and the soundtrack are phenomenal! Christopher Larkin did the impossible by making even better OST's than in the previous game. The music mixed with the intense difficulty in combat provides a major adrenaline rush and the calmer themes of some locations had me wait a moment and enjoy the music before continuing my endeavors. Overall, this game continues the success of its predecessor and is absolutely worth giving a try. Just remember to fight with patience, use the wide variety of tools to your advantage, and most importantly, explore!
