It’s no wonder that the highly anticipated title, “Hollow Knight: Silksong,” has been dominating Steam wishlists for quite some time. The original “Hollow Knight,” often recognized as a standout Metroidvania game and one of the best in its genre, has certainly set the stage for its sequel’s success.
