After six years of anticipation, Hollow Knight: Silksong has finally been released, quickly becoming a global phenomenon and achieving remarkable sales, reaching 5 million players within just three days. Early reviews hail the game as a worthy successor to its acclaimed predecessor, Hollow Knight, with many praising its breathtaking visuals and engaging gameplay. However, the launch has not been without controversy, as some players, particularly in China, have voiced frustration over confusing translations, leading to a drop in reviews on Steam. Team Cherry, the developer, has committed to improving the localization to address these concerns. Despite the localization issues, the overall reception remains positive, establishing Silksong as a new benchmark for metroidvania games.
