This game is an excellent follow-up to Hollow Knight, which is one of the greatest games of all time. It's the same, but slightly more challenging. Silksong has a different toolset than our Knight from the first, which spices things up so it's not too similar. My only gripe is that in 2025, there should not be "run backs". From Software realized this in 2022 by adding Stake's of Marika; Sandfall Interactive realized this with Expedition 33 in which you can immediately retry a battle. Yet Team Cherry has not come to this conclusion. There's a certain fly in this game that is a mentally taxing fight and challenging fight made all the more taxing by the run back. I don't mind the challenge of this certain fly, but my goodness, that run back to it after a failed attempt just adds to the mental fatigue unneccesarily. My plea to Team Cherry for whatever masterpiece they cook up next: please, please, PLEASE eliminate run backs. Keep the bosses as challenging as you can, but PLEASE many of us don't have all that much free time and I beg of you to respect what time we have.
