Throughout my time playing Hollow Knight: Silksong, I mostly didn’t actually miss the first game’s not-so-titular Knight. I do love that bug, it’s just Hornet made for quite a compelling protagonist (even if I think that the game has a number of issues that go further than just it being potentially unfairly hard). I doubt this will be a universal feeling however, which is where this handy mod where you can once again play as the Knight, but in Silksong, comes into play.
