This game is fuckin HARD. I'm about 10 hrs in and spent the last hour or so getting my ass kicked by an ambush room full of basic enemies

Sorry for the cliché, but many Silksong players need to just get good. I know I need to. Love it so far. It's everything and more I hoped for since it's more challenging than Hollow Knight. I feel like this time I have to play smarter too, use every tool I have in my arsenal and adapt. I've played Silksong for about 12 hours or so and a third of that has been dying to the same few bosses. I feel like many of us have forgotten how hard Hollow Knight was all these years and playthroughs ago...

I'm playing it on PS5 and highly recommend taking screenshots as means to take note. A new shop? Screenshot. Not enough currency to open something? Screenshot. A locked gate? You get the idea. I never have to backtrack to a store just to be reminded an item is still too expensive.

The couple of things I wasn't so sure of are double damage and angled pogoing. Double damage makes the game, especially the bosses, harder and getting your first new mask (sixth) doesn't feel as rewarding as it should. Pogoing is weird because everything in Hollow Knight has become muscle memory. Pogoing klicked for me after getting

For the whiners, there's an easy solution to all your problems: get the game on PC and download all the mods you need to make the game easier.

Nah bad take, the game is hard as balls. Very little in hollow Knight is that difficult and some of the charms you can get early on break the game wide open.

Criticising a game isn't whining, pull your head in and stop deriving a sense of superiority from being able to click buttons in front of a light box better than other people.
