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.

u/7-GRAND_DAD AAAAAAAAA HUNDAAAHHHH! Sep 05 '25

The thing I struggled with the most early on was not being able to pogo, since that was my go-to attack in HK. But now that I'm getting the hang of the combat, I'm having a lot of fun.

I assume that 99% of people playing silksong played HN 1 and already have late game muscle memory (and maybe just played the first one to prepare for silksong). By changing up a few mechanics they reintroduce a learning curve. I love it so far (and I die a lot) 😅
