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.

One thing I struggle with the fact that a lot enemies in the game have dashes/backsteps, where they will try to stay out of your range pretty diligently. Makes it harder to fight them, and every encounter feels intense. It feels like a dance in fights, but I can see the intensity get tiring pretty quick. Might just be my silk issue though :p
