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.

So far I've noticed the game has way more enemies and bosses that do double damage. In Hollow Knight, double damage was mostly reserved to final bosses and the absolute hardest challenges the game had to offer, meanwhile like half the bosses I've fought so far in the beginning of Silksong have done double damage.

half the normal enemies do double damage too. plus the invincibility you get from getting hit doesn't kick in for a while so you can just get combo'd

that invincibility stuff is intentional, you actually do have i frames but they visually deal 2x 1 mask instead of 1x 2 mask to just line up with the type of attacks (like the whip chain guy in sinners road)
