It's a funny thing, waiting years and years for a game only to find out it's coming out in a fortnight. That's what happened to me and a few million other people when the small development team at Team Cherry announced the release date of Hollow Knight: Silksong a few weeks ago, giving people only a short time to get ready for the game it had spent years making.
The game's been out for a couple of weeks now, and I'm still only in its first Act, with no clear sense of how long it'll take me to beat, or whether I'll manage to at all. As someone who loved the original Hollow Knight, though, it's been pretty amazing dipping into a new world map and exploring it as Hornet, a character from that first game who's now a protagonist in her own right.
