Would you fine folks recommend keyboard or controller for this and hollowknight ? (I havent played Hollowknight yet so if I get around it I will start with that)
Controller, and def play HK first. HK starts you out far more softly than Silksong.
Controller, and play HK first. Silksong is a sequel and HK is still great. Think about it, you wouldn't jump straight into Shrek 2 without watching Shrek 1 first
Oh I know. I was planning on doing HK first
I misread your comment, my bad.
Seriously, I've played HK twice. Once with K+M because I was bad with controllers, and once with a controller after I got better with controllers and realized they're better for ergonomics and avoiding RSIs. Controller is the way to go.
I've only ever seen Shrek 2
Controller
Controller with a decent enough d pad!
Just don't use an Xbox controller. They are trash for this game.
That's what I'm using (that's all I have) and I'll admit I'm struggling. Can you tell me what the problem is with the xbox controller, why it's bad for this game, and why a different controller would work better? I thought all controllers are basically interchangeable
I think the d-pad just kinda sucks. I played the first game with it and did ok, but on silksong it's not accurate enough. I got stuck on a couple bosses and could only beat them after I switched to a different controller.
Interesting. I never learned to use the d pad on a controller so I've been playing with the left stick. It's rather finnicky.
