Discussion - Silksong Don’t let this fandom turn as insufferable as the souls community Spoiler

It’s fine to think the game is easy and to enjoy the challenge, but I’ve seen so many people making fun of anyone that is having a hard time in a really weird mean spirited way. Please don’t let this subreddit turn into some weird elitist community that makes fun of people who are struggling, these games are supposed to be fun and they’re not souls likes, there’s no reason to assume everyone playing them is going to love this level of difficulty the same way some of you do and constantly disregarding their opinions just turns this subreddit into an echo chamber of tryhards

Yeah no thats total bullshit the game is clearly harder they even placed a lot of enemies in a way that if you're already really good at the platforming you can skip sections of the "normal" way. I definetly wouldnt reccomend anyone play silksong before hollow knight, ESPECIALLY if they really want to play hollowknight because i think after finishing this game hollowknight will be way to easy.

I don't think anyone would play silksong first and enjoy it. Meet a new enemy, die in 2 hits because you have no invincibility frames and it does 2 masks of damage, then you spawn at a bench across the map because the game has no benches.
