by SmashPad Staff6. Hollow Knight: Silksong – Multiplatform
“Silksong reminded me why I fell in love with Hollow Knight while also refusing to let me stay comfortable. Movement and combat demand confidence, precision, and a willingness to adapt. I appreciated that it trusted me to grow as a player rather than simply recreating familiar beats. That push forward is what made it feel essential to my year.” – Kurosh Jozavi, Contributor
