I’ve already discussed the act 1 bosses of the super difficult Metroidvania, Hollow Knight: Silksong, and today, I’ll be ranking those found in act 2. While technically tougher, I often found these bosses to be less of a problem simply because the game is more open in act 2, allowing for more freedom to obtain…

The Duck’s Many Trials and Triumphs of Silksong Act 2
Last time I wrote about my time with Silksong, I had gotten stuck in the Underworks and loaded an auto-save that took me back to the start of act 2. I just didn’t have it in me to do anything too difficult after being annihilated by the Phantom for a good solid 1.5 hours. Since…
The Highs and Lows of Silksong: Reaching Act 2
When last I discussed my early thoughts on Hollow Knight: Silksong, I left off not feeling too happy with the game. I had, in fact, just conquered the room where you’re ambushed by “birds” before encountering yet another boss fight that was required to progress. By now, I was getting downright fed up. It almost…
Silksong (Act 1) Bosses Ranked by Difficulty
Silksong is the long-awaited sequel to the critically acclaimed Hollow Knight. Both are Metroidvanias where you play as a bug. And both are very difficult. Considering this game has a heck of a lot of bosses, I’ll be breaking them down by act. While the act 1 bosses are, technically, easier, they sometimes felt more…
Unforgettable: Cogwork Dancers
As I slowly work my way through Hollow Knight: Silksong, I find myself having a love/hate relationship with the game. There are lots of good moments, sure, but there are also plenty of very, very annoying ones that test my patience to the limits. I especially loathe every time I get stuck on yet another…
The Duck’s Initial Thoughts on Hollow Knight: Silksong
As usual, I’m a bit late to the party, but I’ve finally gotten around to playing the long-awaited Hollow Knight sequel, Silksong. This time, we’re playing as the nimble Hornet in the haunted kingdom of Pharloom. And instead of bugs being infected with a nasty disease, there are bugs being controlled by…some different sort of…
Hollow Knight: Silksong Was Great, But I Prefer the Original After All
Like many fans of Hollow Knight, I spent the last several years eagerly awaiting the day that Team Cherry would finally release its sequel. I think I even reached a point where I told myself that I didn’t care anymore, after waiting 2-3 years without a single update from Team Cherry regarding Silksong’s progress. Yet,…
The Many Secrets of Hollow Knight
Now that Hollow Knight: Silksong is out and has made me eat a very big sandwich stuffed with my own words, my thoughts have turned once more to its predecessor and the qualities that made it such a special experience. There’s no one thing that makes Hollow Knight great, but, since we’re in the midst…
Hollow Knight: Silksong is Real!
It’s been a long time since I’ve talked about this game, and I was actually starting to think that I might never talk about it again. The wait for Hollow Knight: Silksong has been a long one, with release dates coming and going and only the briefest updates going out evvery couple of years.
The Horror That Surrounds: The Abyss
Hollow Knight is a challenging Metroidvania about a bug who travels to the dead kingdom of Hallownest, which has been ravaged by a terrible infection, leaving very few inhabitants alive and sane. This game is no stranger to dark things, and sometimes it veers off into outright horror. This is especially apparent in two locations…
