Nintendo LifeAlana HaguesSep 202510/10Hollow Knight: Silksong's beauty is beguiling, hiding an interior that's deliberately harsh but endlessly rewarding. Everything feels deliberate, pushing you to learn, improve, and perfect, or simply just explore a little more. And what a world it is to dig into.Somehow, Team Cherry has surpassed my expectations tenfold and delivered a mesmeric blend of balletic combat and movement with persistence, joy, and an incredibly invigorating map at the centre. I've never felt better surmounting the challenges put in front of me, and I'm already raring to do it a second time.

Screen RantChris CarterSep 202510/10Hollow Knight: Silksong has a long road ahead of it, and I'm ready to follow it on its entire journey. Whether that includes a swath of free updates just like the original game, or potential DLC, I'll be there. In fact, I'm still there, slowly chipping away at a 100% completion rate. I won't be putting this one down for weeks.

GamesNightGamal MedhatSep 20255/10Hollow Knight: Silksong feels like a masterfully baked cake — crafted with time, love, and the finest ingredients — only for someone to deliberately dump salt and pickles on top, ruining it in the process. Beneath this mess lies the heart of a truly compelling game, but you’ll have to scrape away the flaws to taste it.
Read the reviewHollow Knight: Silksong is undoubtedly a beautiful game. Gorgeous artwork in the character sprites and the backgrounds breathes life into the world, music both haunting and melancholic permeates the air. More than any other positive aspect, Hollow Knight: Silksong seems to be a feat of technical prowess, a true masterwork of engineering where all the pieces work exactly as intended. Despite this, it remains one of the most tedious and boring games I have played in a very long time. It is a true shame those perfectly functioning systems don’t work together better to create a more rewarding experience.
