Hollow Knight: Silksong | Complete Game Review (100% In-Game Completion at 60.7 Hours) I thought Hollow Knight: Silksong would make me feel like a nimble warrior but in reality, I’m just a very determined pinball. Gameplay: Compared to Hollow Knight , Silksong is faster, sharper, and more aggressive, pushing you to stay on the offensive. Hornet’s mobility opens up combat and traversal in a way that feels incredible once mastered, but the game leaves little room for error. Early on, the game can feel difficult and punishing but once it finally clicks, the gameplay becomes one of the most fluid and satisfying systems in the metroidvania space. ★★★★★ Graphics: Hand-drawn and absolutely dripping with personality. The new world of Pharloom trades the decaying loneliness of Hallownest for something more vibrant yet no less haunting. Every area feels distinct, detailed, and alive in its own strange way. I kept pausing just to take it all in… right before the game reminded me that standing still is a terrible survival strategy. ★★★★★ Sound: The soundtrack matches the pacing perfectly and adds real weight to both movement and combat. Not every track stuck with me the way the music from Hollow Knight did, but Silksong still nails the atmosphere where it counts (pun intended). ★★★★☆ Story: Just like its predecessor, the narrative is fragmented and intentionally vague. You’re given various goals throughout but the ‘why’ is buried in subtle clues and environmental storytelling. It’s intriguing if you enjoy piecing things together, but if you want a clear, direct narrative, this won’t give it to you. ★★★☆☆ Replayability: A variety of builds, tools, and hidden paths provide some incentive to return. However, unlike its predecessor, the absence of pathway split-route achievements reduces the drive for meaningfully varied re-runs. Beyond optional challenge playthroughs involving steel soul mode and speed running, its long-term pull feels more limited. ★★☆☆☆ Final Thoughts: The game refines what made the original great while demanding more from the player in return. Silksong is faster, tougher, and—in the wise words of Hornet—expects the player to ‘git gud’. Nevertheless, it also feels incredibly rewarding once you start to master the movement and combat mechanics. Overall Rating: 8/10, gorgeous, unforgiving, and definitely worth the inevitable suffering.
Wow. I sucked at this, so much so that it took me over 300 hours to get the True Ending. Would I have liked certain things to be easier, sure, but ultimately the game is so amazing that I just kept trying and trying because I so badly wanted to carry on playing. There is no way difficulty on this game would make me want to leave a negative review. People leaving negative reviews because bosses took 10 tries, I wish, most took me 50-100 tries. Platforming challenges would take me a week each. And still I found the game to be utterly exceptional. I certainly got my money's worth. It's fun, it's interesting, it's detailed and each new area discovered filled me with such joy. Thank you Team Cherry. Gosh I hope they release more games more frequently because those 3 are talented AF. Special mention to Christopher Larkin. The music is stunning. P.S. Long Live Seth.
