I went hands-on with Hollow Knight Silksong at Gamescom, and the legendarily long wait for the Metroidvania sequel might have been worth it.

The long-awaited follow-up to Team Cherry's cult classic isn't particularly surprising, but that may not even matter.

The only real disappointment to be had here is that we're not actually seeing any new content after such a long wait - no new bosses or enemies or characters or stories. So anyone looking to scour this new demo for clues as to what Silksong will be when it finally releases is probably not going to come up with much that we don't already know.
