Hollow Knight: Silksong has been out for a grand total of two hours, and unless we have a lot of incredibly talented speedrunners in our midst, I'm not sure the 1,500+ Steam reviews the Metroidvania has already accumulated really mean much.
We're currently living in a post-Hollow Knight: Silksong release world, people. Team Cherry's long-awaited Metroidvania sequel is here, downloadable, and playable – even if its popularity did cause Steam and other storefronts to temporarily crumble under the sheer weight of Skong enthusiasts descending upon them at once. But it's also a slightly unusual time – no pre-launch reviews from sites like the one you're reading right now mean that everyone is going in totally blind, so these first few Steam reviews are crucial, and full of vital information.
