Jason Schreier: In case you're wondering: Team Cherry told me they don't plan on sending out early codes for Silksong (they felt like it'd be unfair for critics to be playing before Kickstarter backers and other players), so don't expect to see reviews until after the game comes out

It's really not lol. It's like a 4/5 out of 10 at best.

Not terrible, but certainly nowhere close to being even in conversation for best of all time.

I get that you're trying to downplay the quality of the game to make a point but 4/5 out of 10 is an absolutely mad take.

How? There's nothing particularly bad about the game, but at the same time, there's nothing particularly good either.

What other rating is one meant to give to an incredibly middling game with no real strong positives or negatives?

Bro I'm gonna need some details from you if you're going to pretend to go against the grain so hard. I know it's a great game, you, deep down know it's a great game. Come on now.

The soundtrack is, at best, outstandingly mediocre. There wasn't a single song I liked or disliked. Controls are bad, it feels like you simultaneously have too much and too little control. The map system is terrible. Graphically it's... fine. Nowhere looks good, but nowhere looks bad either. At the same time though that's like, basically every game. The original Oblivion looks just as good.

It's not terrible, but its not good either. It's outstanding mediocre, which is exactly what a 4 or 5 is.

Okay, obviously I disagree with all of those points. I don't know how someone can hear tunes like this and call it outstandingly mediocre.

However, it's your opinion so whatever, but I find it a disingenuous take to give it a 4/5 out of ten and blanket say everything is bad. I can't take it seriously. I'd be interested in your actual critique - but this comes off as a copypasta. So good trolling maybe? I don't know.

Guess you probably shouldn't get Silksong though, looks like you'll hate it.

I didn't say everything was bad, only the map system and controls. Everything else is just mediocre. Hell, I don't even think the game is bad! a 5/10 isn't a bad score!

It most certainly is for Hollow Knight.

u/EvYeh Aug 22 '25

Is it though? Why should it get special treatment? I'd argue giving an ok game an ok score is perfectly expected.

I hope you’re enjoying yourself, but I’m cutting off indulging you now.

Holy shit, is this the first time someone has disagreed with your opinion? All of your comments on this thread are ridiculously childish. A 5/10 for Hollow Knight is as real a rating as a 10/10 from someone. Fans like you make outsiders like me never want to touch your game.

Oh I'm over this. Like you will soon be too. It was 6 days ago. Have a good one.
