Hollow Knight: Silksong review
Pretty and charmingly mean-spirited, Hollow Knight: Silksong is a game filled with revelations - and genuine personality.
Here are cursed churches and battlements and palace attics and whole communities that seem to live inside addled jewelry boxes, their streets encrusted with loose gems and shards of copper and solder, the mineral air thick with petals and pollen. When it comes to movement, and a pogo-ing downstrike move the game wants you to do an awful lot, it means that lining up paths through rebound spots is a little like being the knight from chess, let loose on a bouncy castle that is itself rumbling around on a storm-struck ferry. It seems to want to make you ponder why the game treats you the way it does - the harsh damage, the general absence of vulnerability, the epic pile-ons, the endless churn of bosses, many of which come with elaborate and soul-sapping runbacks because the benches are sparse and most of them you have to pay to unlock and some of them are trapped or even broken!
