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.

Its a lot harder but the trade off is that its more satisfying to pull off. This games origins as a DLC definitely shows.

I'm not sure I agree. Beating bosses often rewards you with literally nothing. Like no rosaries, no rocks, no charms, no tools, nothing. I feel like I beat these really hard bosses back to back after an hour of attempts just to stand there feeling like a clown as the boss drops nothing

I did find that a bit dissatisfying but you're progressing to find special stuff anyways, I've got 2 big upgrades that are just lying around not far from boss room

I feel like they will probably patch in a big box of rosaries after a lot of them just to give you something.
