Overview
Daniel purchased Hollow Knight: Silksong for £16, appreciating the price relative to modern £70 games, but later regretted the purchase because it failed to meet expectations or differentiate itself enough from the original.
The game operates smoothly on the Switch 2 with no bugs observed during testing, yet issues including basic combat, lack of a double jump, simple puzzles, tedious dialogue, scattered NPCs, and currency grinding resulted in Daniel assigning it a 2.5 out of 10 score and withholding a recommendation.
