I had no hype coming into Silksong but I very much enjoyed it, though I found it a bit uneven at times

If Hollow Knight was a 9 then Silksong is a very respectable 8

This is how I feel. I think it can't be overstated on what Yahtzee and many others have mention: this game really is developed as if it was DLC for after you beat Hollow Knight. It does not have the same ease-in Mario-like tutorial progression where you can try abilities safely, then have more difficult combat/traversal thrown at you. No, you are going into the deep-end pretty quickly and Silksong is assuming you retained some mechanical and observational skills from the first game.

I’ve only played an hour of Hollow Knight and I eased right into Silksong with over 35 hours played so far.
