Summary

Bought Silksong for £16 after loving Hollow Knight, but regrets it because the sequel feels insufficiently different and disappointing. He criticizes basic combat without double-jump, repetitive enemies and bosses, simplistic puzzles, tedious dialogue, scattered shops, and backtracking. Despite smooth Switch 2 performance and no apparent bugs, he calls it grindy, rates it 2.5/10, and suggests waiting for a price drop.

Insight

Fan loyalty leads to purchase, but unmet sequel expectations quickly produce emphatic rejection.
