Gameplay
Hollow Knight Silksong is a 2D adventure video game with beautiful graphics and a magical atmosphere. As it happens in platform games, every now and then there is an obstacle on the protagonist's path, so there will be plenty of them here.

She jumps, runs, dodges pretty efficiently and uses special attacks to defeat the strange insect creatures encountered along the way.

The adventure takes place in more and more strange locations full of moss, stone formations, columns covered with ivy and mushrooms. The goal of the adventure is to collect items, defeat enemies, climb platforms and solve puzzles. There are also small areas where it is possible to meet friendly characters, discover secrets and obtain information.
Exciting combat

Reception
While the game was originally planned as a DLC for Hollow Knight, it was fortunate that its rich content could become an entirely separate sequel video game.

Hornet not only defeats enemies in flight and with incredible speed, but also heals quickly, and can speak so that the character does not seem as deprived of personality as in the first installment.
