Chinese-speaking Silksong players are calling out the game's lackluster translation, and Team Cherry has promised improvements

A mustached bug riding a beetle.

• Chinese-speaking Silksong players have expressed frustration with the game's translation
• To some, it "reads like a Wuxia novel" instead of conveying the game's themes
• Developer Team Cherry has promised improvements "over the coming weeks"

Reviews and reception for Hollow Knight: Silksong have been largely positive since its September 4 release, and despite some issues with its difficulty, that hasn't stopped well over half a million players checking out the game on Steam alone.
