Silksong forgot Hollow Knight

Hollow Knight has that charming (punch intended) difficulty adjustment; you can engage in the most difficult bosses in the game whenever you want but Silksong abolished it completely. The floor has been raised; the enemies is somewhat cunning - wasting your time and test your patience, skills is infused with time-wasting in silksong's definition, difficulty is forced and artificial when a boss is combined with long precision runback and a gauntlet - i called it a triple frustrator. I know this is boils down to skill issues but i write the revew to reflect my experience. i spent four hours on Groal the Great not because the boss is tough but the lead-ups which includes a long precision runback and a mandate gauntlet. at the end, my fingers hurt and i stop playing any games for three days because of burnout. silksong gave me two firsts, one is a four hour bosss, another is abandoning the game because it's too tough. Hollow Knight is a game made for almost anyone from casuals to speedrunners, Silksong is a game made for near-speedrunners to the actual speedrunners.

A Hollow Shell

Sadly Silksong does not respect your time and on the path to completion rather than difficulty testing you, your patience will be tested in gameplay that spends far too much time running back and forth to difficulty checkpoints that can only be overcome or you will be slowly whittled down in pointless travel times and unfun mechanics. To be clear, my problems with the game are the unnecessary resource requirements for tools that punishes you for over reliance by taking them away making you leave to farm more currencies (imagine Dark Souls making you mindlessly farm healing items). For certain encounters you are made to go through several loading screens and unskippable scenes that if you don't beat, then soon enough you will be spending far more time running back to them than actually playing the game (Dark Souls, again, avoids this for the most part letting you summon help or level up to reduce the strain of needing to be perfect). For me the final straw was being made to face a boss critical for Act 3 and losing again and again. But rather than the boss, it was the constant boring need to go through loading screens, then running, then jumping, running, entering and triggering the boss, being made to fight 3 waves of adds, THEN getting a chance to face the boss who has a very difficult and punishing series of attacks that ALL do enough damage to kill you quickly. Every failed attempt made me realize I no longer was having fun, so I quit. The act of playing the game just to get to the fun part was so annoying and frustrating to me I quit an otherwise excellent game, that cares more for meaningless setting than it does for not wasting my time. If you want a better game that doesn't waste your time with punishing maps, time wasting gameplay and frankly better mechanics that prioritize letting you enjoy yourself then I urge you to try Ender Magnolioa instead. It may be easier but it is far more rewarding.

Beautiful & Frustrating

Word of advice: Don't buy this until AFTER you play and finish Hollow Knight. My initial review of the game (made shortly after I got to play it) went on about how similar it was to Hollow Knight, and how this might ultimately end up dissappointing some people. I was very wrong. I'm in act 3 at the time of writing, and had some time to get used to the way Hornet plays. She's nothing like the little guy of the 1st game, and I think a big source of frustration - initially - was in the expectation that she would more or less be similar. Silksong is intentionally more difficult than the previous game. Many enemies have more quirks, or move more erratically, and you must learn to user Hornet's mobility and tools to overcome them. Hollow Knight, by comparison, was much simpler. As for the bosses: if the enemies try to ease you into playing Hornet, the Bosses will *force* you to learn her. You will die a lot to them, but as you learn to control your character, how to use the appropriate tools, how to move and pogo and clash (much more important than in the previous game), boss fights will become much easier. There are lots of improvements in both art and music. Team Cherry had plenty of time to focus on the details, and this becomes very obvious when looking at the game. The environments are varied, they look pretty, and many of them have lots of moving parts. It's the first game I can compare to Rain World in terms of just how nice it is to look at. The music is also great. Each track has many variations that play depending on the area you're in, and like Hollow Knight, they just sounds great. Now: the "Frustrating" part. This game doesn't wait for you. You'll often reach areas that absolutely kick your ass, and it will often feel unfair or just unfun. Many people have already made fun of the vile Hunter's March area, or the evil Savage Beastfly. These things are filters, put in place to force you to learn how to handle Hornet. You'll bang your head against this wall a lot throughout the game, but every time you overcome one of these obstacles, you'll have a much better grasp on how to play the game and you'll be happier for it down the line... or you'll ragequit and swear you'll never play again. Either way, temper your expectations, and always assume you're a worse player than you actually are.
