Reviews by Sofia Nakamura

9.1Indie

Hollow Knight: Silksong

Bigger, faster and more beautiful than Hollow Knight, even if its punishing difficulty narrows who will see it through.

9.4Indie

Hades

The roguelike that finally makes dying feel like progress — and storytelling.

9.3Action

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice

A ruthless, rhythmic duel of a game that turns sword-fighting into a deadly dance.

9.4Indie

Hollow Knight

A vast, melancholy metroidvania that's more generous and more beautiful than games ten times its budget.
