This Indie Game Made AAA Studios Look Ridiculous
Months after its release, silksong has become one of the most talked-about games of the year, not only because of its quality, but because of what it exposed about the modern games industry. Team Cherry’s sequel, a true indie game, challenged long-held industry assumptions about budgets, monetization, and what players actually want, with incredible silksong gameplay. This isn’t just praise for one game, but a conversation about where gaming is heading — and who it should be built for, especially after the success of hollow knight silksong.

Hi! My name is Shantiez and I’ve been playing video games since I was a kid. I am a fan of first person shooter games and hero shooters that get my brain thinking and my competitive drive burning (Marvel Rivals, Valorant, Apex), but on the side, I am a sucker for narrative/story driven games that immerse you into its fantastical world (Horizon Zero Dawn, The Last of Us, Destiny). I like to cover news about the games industry, while showing praise where its deserved.
