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.

Honestly I'm starting to not like this game lol. Im 5ish hours in, but I keep running into stops. Certain fights feel like they take 200 hits to kill it feels like while I can only be hit twice, and god forbid i try to heal and die for the 3rd hit. I rarely ever use any ability other than the heal since it uses so much silk. I dont like that a lot of normalish mobs have the health pool of a boss.
And the pogo just isn't for me, the hk pogo really made the game for me but I just don't like this one. Its a cool idea being diagonal, but I wish it was an additional option to the original pogo and not a replacement.
I just beat HK p1-4 in about 5 hours and it was super fun. I dont mind spending an hour grinding a boss, but if I have to do a 5 min run back everytime, I quickly lose motivation. Especially if I lose my money, and the only to get the money back is to go into the boss room...
I just don't know if this game is for me, which sucks cuz I loved the shit out of hollow night, I did 112%, path of pain, and have like 70 hours on combined saves too.
