Hollow Knight: Silksong Eight Months Later — How the Most Awaited Indie Became Game of the Year
Восемь лет после анонса. Пять лет молчания разработчиков. Бесконечные мемы и шутки о «вечном в разработке». 4 сентября 2025 года Team Cherry выпустила Hollow Knight: Silksong — и отрасль затихла в восхищении.
Silksong — это доказательство того, что ждать можно. Особенно если ждёшь именно такого.
When Hollow Knight: Silksong finally released on September 4, 2025, the gaming world fell silent in admiration. Years of anticipation culminated in something that justified every meme, every joke, every frustrated community post.
The Critical Consensus
Silksong achieved Metacritic 92 and OpenCritic 91%. A staggering 97% of critics recommended the game. Multiple outlets awarded it 10/10.
The Silk System
Instead of the Soul system from the original, Silksong introduces Silk — a resource generated through combat. The more aggressively you fight, the more Silk you generate. Silk powers abilities and healing, creating a dynamic loop that rewards offensive play.
