Silksong is the first Switch 2 game that fully justifies a Pro controller

Gaming sure is expensive these days. Tariffs are making prices across the board go up, and the threat of the $80 video game perpetually looms. The prospect of spending over $90 on a controller seems ludicrous, especially when you're dealing with a console still in its launch era without many new games. In the case of Switch 2, which allows you to pop the Joy-Con into a shell that's basically a controller, holding off on buying a new version of the Pro controller seemed like the prudent choice at first. That is, until I started playing Hollow Knight: Silksong.
