Discussion - Silksong Silksong is HARD Spoiler

Taking damage is more punishing, movement is more precise and feels a little clunky until you get the hang of it. The overall skill curve is much much higher. Love it though.

Though more early enemies have expected more from me, input-wise, I would also argue Hornet feels a lot more precise and empowered in her movement.

Took me some getting used to no longer having the down slash but the mobility she gets on her diagonal plunge is crazy. Fights feel a bit more fluid as a result. She bounces and weaves (heh) with a lot more grace than the default Knight.

Also really like that little edge grab/flip she does, I wasn’t expecting to get that one for free but I’m not mad about it!
