Pros
- +Fluid movement system
- +Beautiful hand-drawn art
- +Massive interconnected world
- +Outstanding soundtrack
Cons

Silksong was worth the wait. Playing as Hornet, every movement feels like a dance through a world that begs to be explored.
Gameplay
The combat is faster and more aggressive than Hollow Knight, with tools that encourage an offensive playstyle.
Verdict
A masterclass in metroidvania design.
