Hollow Knight Silksong user reviews tank in one region amid localization trouble

Was Hollow Knight Silksong worth the wait? Thanks to Steam issues and a full day's work, I've only had one lunch break to dive in, but in that hour I've beaten the first boss and started on Hornet's journey proper. Many other players have committed far more time to the game, and excitement is still at fever pitch. However, players in some countries are having a worse experience than English speakers. Players in China and France are complaining about the quality of the translation and localization of the game, to the point where Team Cherry has responded.
