The verdict
A gorgeous, melancholic spirit-collecting metroidvania with a standout soundtrack and story, held back by stiff combat feel and a bare-bones map. Skip it if you want snappy, weighty combat.
Great for
Fans of atmospheric, story-driven metroidvanias who want a moderate challenge and lots of build options
Main risk
Floaty, low-impact combat and an unhelpful map lead to tedious backtracking and getting lost
What changed in the last 30 days
82 recent reviews
Recent thumbs-down reviews repeat the old complaints: weightless combat, bad map and wasted time wandering, plus Silksong comparisons. No single patch or bug is visible, so confidence is low.
