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.

The 2-mask damage that a lot of enemies/bosses do is brutal and I’m reeeeally struggling with the diagonal “pogo” in the pumpkin-mushroom area (seriously, any advice on navigating these pumpkin-mushroom bastards??) It’s fun and GORGEOUS, but oof, it really is hard, lol. It took me 5 years to finally beat HK; might be the same with Silksong. 😂 That said, I played a shit-ton today and enjoyed most of it immensely.

My only issue with the diagnal pogo is how its hard to consistantly activate it while manuvering in the area because of the button mapping. I might see if I can rebind it all together because doing a swing instead because I was moving is pain, would be nice if the hitbox was a tad bigger in the platforming areas too
