    Silksong is one of the best games of this year. A marvellous adventure game with a great (and hard) combat system, an incredible sense of exploration, and tons of secrets and remarkables moments. [Recommended]

    Silksong still yields so much to see, and there are inarguably more nooks and crannies than ever to explore in Pharloom, but Hallownest’s elegant and understated mystique is absent here, and it is instead replaced by a labyrinthine behemoth–complete with many proverbial Minotaurs–though one that instills in you the pressure of obligatory completionism rather than the liberating sense of adventure.

    In Silksong, there’s always a new horror that will replace whatever last vexed you. You could become discouraged, and likely, you will, at least for a while. Eventually, though, you’ll tap into one unassailable truth: you are capable of more than you realize.
  4. Silksong, I can and will get mad at you. But I can’t STAY mad at you. You brilliant, beautiful bastard of a game.
