DO NOT BUY Hollow Knight: Silksong
Space play/pause · J/L seek 10s · [ ] previous/next
Summary
After buying Silksong for Switch, he finds combat rudimentary: jumping, attacking, and charging a heal, without rolling, dodging, or blocking. He praises the art and music but criticizes repetitive 2D visuals, minimal Switch 2 hardware use, confusing navigation, and unexplained obstacles. For £16, he rates it 2/10; missing double-jump, shops, combos, and healing vulnerability— especially against Moss Mother—trigger angry rejection.
Insight
His review pattern recurs: initial enthusiasm quickly becomes rejection when a purchase fails immediate expectations.
