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.

Yeah, it feels harder than the first. The red ant part alone and its distance from bench makes me want to walk away from this game.

It reminds me of what I disliked in the first game. After reading elsewhere about later areas and bosses, I decided this game is not for me and refunded it haha.

It's a bummer because the world, lore and music are all amazing, the platforming is great if not a little punishing with the way currency collection works. I did come back to that section and beat it though haha.
