Blain_IV Hollow Knight: Silksong Review

As a longtime Soulsborne/Soulslike player, Silksong feels like a brilliant step up from Hollow Knight. The increased difficulty, huge enemy variety, creative platforming, and stunning art design of each region and NPC make it both beautiful and demanding. I am GAGGED how good this game is. Compared to many Soulslikes it’s actually fair: my longest boss took about 2 h, most others 30-60min and a few bosses about 1-3 attempts. If you experiment with, builds, exploration and farming Rosaries, the game rewards skill instead of punishing you. The longer you play and progress, the better you get. As simple as that. Two wishes: (1) a short tutorial for first-time Metroidvania/Soulslike players to teach core mechanics and strategies on how to use your surroundings and different type of enemy to git gud; (2) please bring back Hornet’s classic voice lines from Hollow Knight! - GIT GUD HK Silksong is Hard but not unfair
