Hollow Knight: Silksong Reviews
Hollow Knight: Silksong isn’t just a follow-up; it’s a step forward. Team Cherry improved almost every part of a well-known independent classic, including the fighting, movement, world design, and progression, without taking away any of the game’s charm or mystery that made it famous in the first place.
Silksong took everything that made Hollow Knight memorable and made it even better. It’s a faster and more demanding experience that somehow feels natural for Hornet’s journey. Pharloom is a labyrinth of beauty and menace, each corner stuffed with secrets that make getting lost feel like part of the design. Bosses will break you, platforming will bruise you, but the thrill of overcoming both is what makes it unforgettable. It’s everything you’d expect after six years of waiting—and then some.
"Game of the Year" Hollow Knight: Silksong isn't revolutionary, but it's a significant improvement on a formula that already had its own unique identity. It offers diverse vertical exploration, faster and more challenging combat, and visuals and audio that are stunning at every turn. Despite some minor issues related to pacing and difficulty, the game proves to be a rewarding and richly detailed adventure, especially for fans of the first installment.

Silksong feels like everything Hollow Knight fans dreamed it would be. It’s smoother, punchier, more alive and way more respectful of your time. Hornet brings the oomph, the world drips with atmosphere, and the bosses are absolute bangers. Honestly, I can’t wait to sink another 20 hours into this silken nightmare. Though I’m sure you already bought it before you even read this review. Let’s be real.
Hollow Knight: Silksong is special not only because of how well-made and ambitious it is, but also because of the love that went into every part of it. Fans jokingly called Team Cherry's years of work "development heaven," and it shows. It's not a rushed release that was fixed after it came out; it's a fully realized vision, with every corner made with care.
