Not gonna lie, readers, Hollow Knight: Silksong is kicking my teeth in, with gracious yet far more powerful legswings than Hollow Knight’s early stages ever managed. There’s a jumping-puzzly bit two hours in that took me about the same amount of time to clear, and the bosses seem generally sweatier too. I’m fairly sure one of them used an impossibly rapid flurry of sword slashes to spell out "Do one, James Archer of Rock Paper Shotgun dot com" in my flesh.
In other words, the review’s coming on Monday at the earliest. But I do think I’ve endured enough to determine that Silksong is a very, very good match for the Steam Deck, making small but welcome compatibility improvements over the original (in addition to its new, desktop-minded ultrawide support).
