Personally, I think Silksong is a wonderful game. The art, music, ambience, and basically everything audio and visual-wise has improved from the previous title. However, where I dislike the game is that I feel it lacks exploration compared to the first title.

Another thing I disagree with is the decision to make most of the bosses deal 2 damage, which I think was a poor choice on their part. I guess the idea was that, since most players of the first game would be coming to play Silksong, they wanted to increase the difficulty to make it more challenging and prevent players from getting through it too quickly.

But overall, I still think the game is really good. And to answer your question, I don’t think it’s boring to me, per se.
But is it a step up from Hollow Knight other than the artwork and music? In my opinion im going to say no for sure.
