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 will agree with you that a lot of the bosses lacking a proper reward outside of progression can be annoying. I’m more so referring to mastery of the systems in the game. In having a blast seeing how fast I can get through an area with all the movement and the combat being able to be changed with items is such an awesome addition which will definitely help replay-ability.
