Let's put the conspiracies to bed once and for all: Hollow Knight: Silksong is real. At least, a 15-minute demo of it is. I just went hands on with Steam's most wishlisted game while testing out the new Xbox Ally X at Gamescom, and the long-awaited Metroidvania doesn't disappoint. Does it do anything unexpected or widly different from its beloved predecessor? Not from what I saw. But does it deliver top-tier platforming, engaging exploration, a mysterious world, and tricky boss fights? Oh yes.
