Steam Awards: Spieler wählen „Hollow Knight Silksong“ zum Spiel des Jahres
Bei den Steam Awards wählt das Spiel des Jahres keine Jury, sondern die Spieler selbst. Sie haben sich für „Hollow Knight Silksong“ entschieden.

Silksong is very well designed. Even though I'm not into metroidvanias, I've found its analysis very interesting.
BTW, metroidvania without platforming and combat would be… the classic point and click adventure?

Game Maker's Toolkit — The World Design of Hollow Knight: Silksong
Team Cherry returns to the world of Hollow Knight with Silksong - a new game, with a new character, in a whole new world. In this episode of Boss Keys let's look at how the developers designed Pharloom and the Citadel.

Silksong is the best game I’ve played in years. I would probably say in decades if it weren't for Outer Wilds, which skews the results. And no, it’s not too difficult. It _is_ difficult, but Team Cherry can’t change that. An easy mode would rob this game of its soul.
This game is almost a "Metroidbrainia", where the only way to progress is knowledge; knowledge of the enemies attack patterns and the reflexes to deal with them. If you could just hack and slash your way…

Banger!

The Silksong soundtrack slaps so hard it blows my mind!
Enter Pharloom, Bellhart, Choral Chambers, Cogwork Dancers, Trobbio you name it. The tracks fit the game so well and even by themself do they get to my core!
Magical really!
