Already I'm convinced, Hollow Knight: Silksong is a hymn to the art of paying attention - and it absolutely rules

Our impressions on the first few hours of Hollow Knight: Silksong are that it's a game that lives on its attention to detail - and yours, too.

Tiny little things, vital for buying maps and supplies but easy to miss as they scatter across the ground. It wants to link distant spots and provide handy respites, but it wants you to work for these things - not just to earn them, but to see the possibilities for them. Of course I knew that Silksong would be one of those games you have to really lean in to play, the kind that sees your shoulders tensed and your whole body tilted towards the screen, as if your entire being knows it can't miss a thing.
