When a game like Hollow Knight Silksong comes out after SUCH a long wait, many wonder if it will “live up to the hype. Thankfully, it seems as though Team Cherry has pulled things off, because people can’t get enough of the game…even if it’s breaking their wills when the bosses are beating the crap out of them. The game has already sold over three million units, and likely has sold many copies since. However, because of how Team Cherry released the game, reviews have actually been slow to come out.
That being said, things have finally started to turn the corner, and many of the big sites have posted their scores and reviews, which has led to its current Metacritic score of 92! Here’s a snapshot of what some critics scored the game:

So, as you can see, the game is well-received overall, outside of one or two low-scoring reviews. Plus, the “User Score” for the game has about 3800 reviews on Metacritic and a score of 9.0! That bodes well for the title, especially as word of mouth spreads and people decide to check it out themselves.
