Hollow Knight He was released in 2017 and quickly became Metroidvania, which everyone talked about. There were several things in the genre. The artistic style was beautifully hand -drawn, there were NPCs that deepened the tradition, and it was demanding but fair.
Therefore, the idea of continuing was so expected. Even if Hollow Knight: Silksong It took forever to relax, it was the waiting worth it. It means that it overcame it Hollow Knight Ways that make him a superior game, or are things better balanced in the original hit? It's time to go through what every game does best.
Silksong: The game is smoother
From the dashes to the strikes

Adding comb and tools makes it a customizable experience. PIN in Hollow Knight It is good and the fight can be fun, but the knight is an overall slower figure that does not look great in motion, unlike every movement of the hornet, it pulls away.
Hollow Knight: Knight's Downward Thrust
Ejector
That move Hollow Knight Nails are pulling down. Capcom's Ducktales The game on NES was a pioneer in creating a game where players could reflect obstacles and enemies to get around. Shovel Knight, Hollow KnightAnd several other games developed this idea and it was great to download.
Move down Hollow Knight: Silksong It is diagonal and is almost impossible to handle. Hollow Knight: Silksong It has combs that can change this movement, but even those that have strikes down do not feel as accurate as knights.
Silksong: more NPC and branch roads
Have a way

Hollow Knight: Balance of Difficulty
Hits a nail on the head
Hollow Knight He had some souls of similar souls, including hard bosses and loss of currency after death. It was challenging, but it is impossible to defeat if players have learned the patterns of attacks and upgraded knightly skills. The same applies partly for Hollow Knight: SilksongBecause the players were able to handle the difficulty through the progression of items and take the time. With things like some normal enemies that cause dual damage, Hollow Knight: Silksong's The difficulty quickly became a legendary but in a bad way.
Silksong: Hornet as a character
Can talk!
So much of Hollow Knight He is left for interpretation because the knight cannot speak. There are notes to find and NPCs to talk to and combine the puzzle is half the fun. Without any personality, however, it is difficult to like a knight as a quiet figure who plays the game forward.
The opposite applies to Silksong, Because Hornet can speak. She has thoughts, ideas and can talk to NPC to help distinguish the world. Although it is difficult to be charismatic in a game with text -based only, Hornet is easy to like than a knight.
Hollow Knight: A more concise map
Firm and refined
With all upgrades and hidden paths, Hollow Knight It could be lengthy before the update. But everything seemed better managed because the map had a brief flow.
Silksong It is much larger and more diverse when it comes to biomes, which is great. However, it can be argued that the sequel is perhaps too large and after a certain part, act 2, Hollow Knight: Silksong easily loses. This could, in turn, lead more players to bore and retreat.
Silksong: Graphics
Time is a factor
From trailers, Hollow Knight and Hollow Knight: Silksong look artistically just like hand -drawn games. However, playing each game back will show players how to develop more Silksong is. The color palette itself is brighter and more vivid and the details of the characters are larger. Hornet's red cloak looks amazing in motion and all colors overall pop, unlike black, gray and blues Hollow Knight.
Verdict
Hollow Knight: Silksong all the way
Hollow Knight is something like bike training Silksong. To better appreciate the sequel, the players must play the original. Only then will everything make sense in the greater context of every adventure. Hollow Knight: Silksong It looks better, controls better and has more influential female characters that move things forward. Hollow Knight has better trouble with balance and initial skills, but even if Silksong It is much harder, it is worth passing, because it will undoubtedly excel as one of the best 2025.
