    The best sequel I have ever played

    Hollow knight: Silksong is a game that shaked the industry when it first came out, buy a low price of 20 euros, it has given me emotions, fun and challenge.

    The movement system is probably the best I have ever got my hands on, even better than Hollow Knight original game. If I should make any critique about this game, is just that the bosses aren't as iconic as the first game, but I hope it will be different if Silksong will get a DLC similar to the Godmaster from the original Hollow Knight.

    Overall, just play this game even if it is hard, you must play it.

    Another great game in 2025

    Worthy sequel of Hollow Knight. So many great locations, so much to discover, so much to be thankful for.

    Silksong seems to be harder game than Hollow Knight, but there are a few factors, Team Cherry managed to surpass its predecessor. Really powerful music, plot, characters and the atmosphere of the game itself. Hornet simply became one of my favourite female characters in gaming industry.

    It took me 72 hours to beat this game and despite how hard it was, this adventure was really wonderful and I shall remember it well.

    Silksong is everything I hoped for and more

    This immediately brought the nostalgia of Hollow Knight, but at the same time it's fresh and new in all the right ways. I love the color! The art is gorgeous, the characters are amazing (I love the singing and the voices), the soundtrack is excellent, and every little detail makes the world feel alive.

    The new mechanics took me a little while to get used to. I wasn't sure of the new down dash at first but I was happy with it when I got used to it. Silksong feels both easier and harder than HK in different ways. The double damage is a bit brutal but it's easier to get around the place too.

    So far I'm finding the exploration super rewarding. It's giving me the classic "one more area before I quit" feeling.

    I'm just so happy it's out. Well done Team Cherry, you really did it again!

    Ps. Thank you for making it so affordable! This game was worth a ton but you made it so accessible to everyone.

    An absolute masterpiece

    It's clearly one of the best 2D I have ever played after Hollow Knight I thought they can't improve much but they did 100% The bosses the worldbuilding is so beautiful that I can't even think about a negative point. The only problem that the most people have is the difficulty but in my opinion the difficulty is pretty good because if you don't have much difficulty you can basically run through the game without anything challenging and it wouldn't be a soulsgame anymore... I know that my people see this different but if you have played Hollow Knight you maybe understand my opinion.

    A Masterpiece!!!!!

    This game is Amazing... But in a different way than the first game. This game was outstanding in almost every way. Throughout most of my play though I have only ran into a one thing that tho was not terrible, i just liked how they did it in the first game more. One of my gripes is the use of the 2 mask damage enemy's much more and in turn it feels like you are frequently losing a mask worth of healing (because you can only heal 3 at a time). I have absolutely loved this game so far and think it is truly a masterpiece. Team Cherry are really brilliant!!!!! If I could give it a specific rating I would say 9.4 / 10. It's got things that I think in time will become the normal but I still have to get used to.
