Pros

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

Cons

  • -Can be brutally difficult
  • -Some backtracking

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.
