The first 24 hours since the release of the long-awaited Hollow Knight: Silksong are not yet over, but we can state that the game has become a mega-hit. Already in the first few hours, there were so many people wanting to install that they crashed the PlayStation, Nintendo and Steam services.

But this is only the beginning of the story...

Here's What We Know

On the first night, Hollow Knight: Silksong peaked online on Steam at over 535k people, the vast majority of whom are absolutely thrilled with the game. It has an incredible 96% positive feedback and almost no complaints, and social networks and forums are filled with discussions about the new game from Team Cherry.

The sequel not only retains all the advantages of the first part, but also multiplies them. Silksong has excellent design, amazing music, almost perfect performance and optimisation, each location is unique and has an individual visual style. The combat system of the game has become even more dynamic and diverse, the funny inhabitants of the underground world are all just as cute, but be careful with them, because some only seem harmless!

The authors of negative reviews complain about completely different things that contradict everything that is said above. Many of these reviews are written by Chinese gamers who didn't like the localisation of the game, but this problem can be fixed by patches.

Some players and experts reasonably point out that Silksong is a unique modern game, whose developers did not bore the audience with numerous abstract promises, video diaries and other media activities, but all this time did the work and released an excellent game.

The achievements of Hollow Knight: Silksong won't end here and we're sure that next weekend the Steam peak online will definitely approach one million.

Hollow Knight: Silksong is available on PC, PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo Switch.
