why i HATE Hollow Knight: Silksong - VERY disappointing
Space play/pause · J/L seek 10s · [ ] previous/next
Summary
After anticipating Silksong since 2019, he finds its labyrinths, backtracking, copied mechanics, and repetitive enemies tedious and under-polished. He criticizes blurry 4K text, PC frame drops, finicky pogo and dodging, costly healing, compass restrictions, and death-currency runbacks. Despite praising the art and soundtrack, he rates it 2/10, calls it a shallow cash-grab imitation, and recommends replaying Hollow Knight.
Insight
The verdict sharply reverses earlier same-day Switch 2 praise, suggesting platform-specific performance and feel drive opposite evaluations.
