Hollow Knight Silksong's Design Philosophy Is Puzzling

Hollow Knight Silksong is all the rage right now but we both found Silksong to be a disappointment and a downgrade from the 1st game. #silksong #hollowknight #hollowknightsilksong

This video will serve as a partial review of Hollow Knight Silksong but will more so focus on the questionable design choices Team Cherry made and get into why they feel overly punishing, tedious, and why they cause the game to not be an enjoyable experience. It's got a ton of polish and clearly a ton of work went into it, but it feels like Team Cherry leaned into the worst aspects (The Soulslike Elements) of the 1st game and doubled down on them.
