After seven long years, Hollow Knight: Silksong has finally left the realm of games we’re always hoping to see at some event or showcase. Silkpost no more. We can all finally play Silksong–and for just 20 bucks at that!
With a few days of playtime under their belts, folks have flocked to the internet to opine, elating over finally getting to play such a long-awaited game, and despairing over a surprisingly steeper learning curve than some were expecting.
So let’s turn our attention to the Steam reviews section of Hollow Knight: Silksong to see how it’s faring with the chorus.
At the time of writing, Silksong is enjoying a “Very Positive” status for its English-language reviews. Fans have rushed in to share their enthusiasm for the long-awaited game. Those who aren’t as excited, as you might expect, are frustrated with not merely the difficulty, but how various challenges seem to feel like unfair “gotcha” moments. Many positive reviews, however, echo back that the game is much more manageable once you get deeper into the story and have amassed some more powerful skills.
So let’s jump into some standout reviews, both of the silly and (somewhat) useful kind.
