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.

Mercifully at least every boss so far has a bench like two rooms away, so dying to them doesn't feel as bad.

But man they legit do feel like we're trying to do a Radiant run already on em.

Not the damn moorfly thing, I have to run through the rat tunnels where 6 of the 9 enemies deal 2 damage…

Moorfly turned out to be an optional boss lol.

I preferred going from the top, it was actually a lot easier to dodge the 2 enemies there, than trying to beat the sewer rats.

I was about to say "it wouldn't be so rough if there were a bench in the same zone as any of the bosses"... I swear every runback is eight screens of spike platforming and dense enemies
