It's unfair that you cut off the quote there. Because in the next paragraphs:

I am in agreement with the author regarding Silksong. It's the author's understanding about games in general that seems to have a bit of a blind spot (despite being deep in other ways).

These games may be masterpieces but they don't come out of nowhere, there are many other games where skill mastery is much or even most of the appeal. I also somewhat wanted to pick on the line that the Mario games are the only other games that put as much care into how you traverse the world.
