Apologies in advance for poor writing, as this will be my first attempt at writing a review for a favorite game of mine and this may take longer than 5 or 6 lines. With that out of the way, let's begin.
First, I'd like to say that at this time of my life, I don't have many friends, or rather I lost most of them. When I first played this game I rediscovered the joy of gaming and the feeling that I once had when I was on my first playthrough of Dark Souls. The feeling that you are alone in the world with only a handful of NPCs to guide you or be some form of comfort in your journey into the depths of the world. The feeling of getting lost and going deeper than you thought you would, and then finding a shortcut that makes your trip back easier. These were some of the things that made me fall in love with this game immediately.
Further elaborating on the point of me not having many friends, I spent two days living totally alone with no internet connection or any form of contact, and I was having difficulty sleeping at night. But this game saved me from all that; I would just spend the night exploring new areas or fighting bosses and I would be truly happy and not afraid of anything.
Walking in the City of Tears, with the calming soundtrack and the sound of rain and the footsteps of the Knight making wet noises was just comforting. Getting lost in Deepnest due to discovering it by accident and getting back up, (Minor spoiler ahead) seeing someone that looks like me and then finding out it is a terrifying boss and beating him, that feeling of triumph and getting over your fears, walking around in the verdant Greenpath, those were all the things that made me truly love this game, and I owe this game so much for being able to spend those two days.
I won't talk about the amazing level design, or the well-designed boss fights, or the 40 charms, or the final boss. You know all those things.
I don't know if it's silly to say that I have a personal relationship with this game, but that's the reality. I love this game and I spent about 45 hours trying to 100% the game.
This was truly an amazing experience and I can't wait for Silksong.
Also, I love Hornet.
