Critic Reviews for Hollow Knight: Silksong
Silksong can be ruthless, but it's hard to pry yourself away from its haunted little world that never seems to end.
Hollow Knight: Silksong is packed full of sharp platforming, enticing exploration, and nail-biting combat that's all unapologetically challenging in just the right way.
Pretty and charmingly mean-spirited, this is a game filled with revelations and genuine personality.
Its boss fights are exhilarating and challenging, its world is a gorgeous marvel to explore, its unpredictable art design is impeccable, and everything else about it looks and sounds stunning. There’s not much more you can ask for from the genre, and Silksong cements itself as a high watermark others will be trying to meet for years to come.
Enemies also feel much more aggressive in general, rising to meet the increased skill ceiling of Hornet's more acrobatic moves.
Musicians know the feeling of a piece that is woven with complexity, which takes longer to learn than most, but brings commensurate satisfaction upon mastery; Silksong is the video game equivalent, sitting ready to be played and adored, but only after appropriate levels of devotion and persistence.
Hollow Knight Silksong takes all the best parts of its predecessor and somehow makes them even better.
The long awaited arrival of Silksong is over five years in the making and it's even better than we had hoped.
