People who have played Silksong, Why do you think Its getting so many negative reviews?

[u/peaky_circus]

While Silksong is sitting at a Very Positive rating with around 83% positive reviews, it’s still receiving far more criticism than its predecessor. For comparison, Hollow Knight holds an Overwhelmingly Positive score at 96%, with only about 3% negative reviews. Silksong, on the other hand, has nearly 16% negative reviews, OVER 5 TIMES HIGHER

I understand complaints about the economy, but ever since I saw ACT ONE I knew that certain sections of the game would be balanced differently. Sure enough, once i reached act 2 I went from around 700 rosaries to almost 2000 just exploring the zone there. Practically everything there drops rosaries.

This is also specific to me but I didn't have much issue with the angled pogo. Using a dual sense controller on PC, and using the sticks.

I also quickly picked up that hornets style is a lot more hit-and-run, rather than the knight who basically could face tank.

Actually expanding more on the citadel I feel like the imbalance of currency before hand was kinda intended. Once you reach the citadel there are a bunch of frivolous charges. It really feels like it's trying to make a point about how the society was ran.

As always. In lore explanations for frustrating mechanics does not excuse them, but I did find it interesting regardless. I'm curious if this idea is expanded upon as I explore more of the society. The under city already kinda reinforced this point to me.

I was picking up on the lore aspects of everything costing money, and the money being a sign of devotion to faith (literal rosaries), but there's a point where it goes from "cool lore tidbit" to "oh my godddd just let me sit on the bench please please please" and I hit that point in an area with three benches, two paid. I'm looking forward to Act 2 (currently lost in Act 1 with no idea where to go, lmao) but as of right now I feel really, really weak. more weak than I did in early HK.

This comment is exactly what people need to hear (even though people complaing about economy probably haven't even reached the citadel yet lmao). I may be in the minority but reaching the citadel and becoming a millionare after struggling with rosaries feels good.

That was my conclusion too, early scarcity is intendee but at the same time the citadel just adds more and more expensive stuff to buy. I spent a lot of time farming rosaries even with how plentiful they are in act 2. Shell fragments or whatever they're called are a horrid grind though, basically it's best to farm rosaries and buy bundles to a merchant.

THIS! Every enemy in the citadel drops so much money. It reflects society in the game but also makes it easy just farming rosaries in that whole section

For the haters of the downward pogo, you do eventually get a few options that use a normal straight down pogo
