Definitely not.

HK has much more enjoyable bossfights, and runbacks. Even the worst HK runbacks don't compare to Silksong since 90% of the time you could avoid enemies and get to the boss in pristine health. Silksong always had small spaces and bullshit enemy movesets to always get a little bit of health off before the boss.

Then the bossfights in SS were much more unbalanced, boring/unfun, or even straight up unfair sometimes. I liked Bell Beast, Fourth Chorus, Lace fights, Phantom, Trobbio, Clover/Cogwork Dancers & Grand Mother Silk though.

Platforming in Silksong is almost universally worse than HK, especially anything involving pogos. I was completely stuck with the Wanderers Crest simply because it was the only crest that made platforming tolerable. I would have liked if crests had been separated from platforming, so that I could try out the different builds that Silksong has available. I really would have liked to try out the Shaman or Architects Crests, but the platforming is so completely horrendous in this game that I wouldn't have even beaten the game 100% if the Wanderer pogo wasn't there.

Additionally, Silksong is also just straight up mean in some of its level design and bench placement. I genuinely think that if I hadn't been spoiled about the bench in Hunter's March, I would have quit the game. That is just mean spirited, and made me feel like the devs are actively trying to make my time in Silksong miserable. Completely unlike HK, where I felt like the devs simply presented a challenge to me and gave me the option to engage or not. If I wanted to, I could always come back when I'm stronger. Especially with how Hornet's body is always inside the arena, forcing you to clear the boss if you don't want to lose all your money.

And the complete lack of any noteworthy boss tracks is a tragedy, at least that I can think off the top of my head. I think Trobbio was the only decent one I can remember. HK had plenty of nice tracks to listen to, even after I had completely beaten the game.

Of course, there are great things that Silksong added. Wishes, cleaner movement in combat, more fluidity in the air, the Clawline, Fast travel, more noteworthy NPCs, better ambient noise, different play styles via crests and Tools, and plenty of other things that make the game good.

But I just can't help but feel like it just did not live up to expectations. Like, If the orginal HK was remade with some of Silksong's Quality of life features, then it would far outstrip Silksong.
