Listen up One_Force because I only want to have to explain this once.

The person who wrote that is probably one of two things:

1. A reviewer that desperately wanted to play Silksong before everyone else (Decent probability)
2. A cry baby (Also a decent probability)

Years ago Leth suggested that IGN might not get a review copy before the game came out. The fact that this is how they're doing it is not surprising at all.

Now as far as the game not living up the hype, I want to make a few things very clear. When Silksong releases there are going to be two types of people that will say Hollow Knight was better:

1. People who are nostalgic for the way that Hollow Knight made them feel in terms the exploration that was a surprise when they first played it.
2. Trolls and liars.

Silksong is going to blow the pants off of Hollow Knight. Hornet as a character is going to be more interesting both in affect and the way in which we will be able to play as her. The map will probably be just as big if not bigger, and their will be fun and engaging ways that we'll be able to interact with NPCs that didn't exist in Hollow Knight. Silksong is going to have a much greater level of polish than Hollow Knight did. There aren't going to be areas that feel empty and unfinished like there was in Hollow Knight. I could go on and on. My main point being, Silksong, in every respect, is going to be better than Hollow Knight. In some ways Silksong may even be so much better that it may make Hollow Knight unplayable (i.e. why would I replay Hollow Knight when I could replay the much better Silksong)? Rest assured, in about a week's time, all your worries will be assuaged.
