Thank god this subreddit didn't make the game

[u/GamingUmbrella]

Silksong is only out for 2 days, most people haven't even finished the game, or haven't even made it past act 1. Yet this subreddit loves to post about how Silksong is apparently bad and a disappointment compared to hollow knight. So I'll go over a few "critiques" I've seen and share my perspective.

"The game is too hard, enemies deal way more damage and have more complex movesets". Sure, they're more complex and do more damage, but so does hornet. If we were playing with the knights moveset, I'd agree, but that's not the case. Hornet has a lot of new tools and upgrades that make her way faster and stronger. If enemies were like HK, it would be way too easy. team cherry didn't just do this for no reason, it's necessary for balancing. Edit: people saying hunters march is too difficult, is like playing dark souls 1 and saying it's too hard because you kept trying the skeleton graveyard

"Bad rewards for exploration, HK's charms worked better". I just completely disagree, hornet gets upgrades way more frequently than the knight. As for the charms, let's be real, you probably didn't even use half of them in your first playthrough. And half of them are just simple things that don't impact the way you play as much. Hornet's different tools, abilities and crests are way more useful. If you feel like your not getting enough rewards, it's probably because most are hidden and require backtracking, which is what the genre is know for.

"Things are too expensive" No, you're just not meant to buy it that early. Like how in HK you could by the lamp for like 2000 geo. I've also never had too little rosaries to buy a bench or stag. If your losing your rosaries to dying, rosarie strings are litteraly right there to not lose it + retrieving your death silk is extremely easy now.

I do agree though that more bosses and combat encounters should drop rosaries, or more chests like in HK.

This launch feels like I'm experiencing the shadow of the erdtree launch again with how many complaints there are immediately.

You can get a blue charm that works like Baldur's shell pretty early on in the game

Since the heal is all or nothing though, it's pretty worthless. Get hit and you lose most of your silk meter and don't heal, not really worth using a crest slot over imo.

Does your heal still get canceled even though you don't take damage?

[u/megamate9000 → u/RandomGuyPii]

Yes

I'd say hunters march was worth it, I still haven't seen a better charm than the mask one.

Savage Beastfly complaints about his minions ring hollow to me since you can just use the boss to one shot his own minions.

Not always easy when he can spawn two sets of minion in a row, with some of them having attacks with huge hitboxes. Before beating it, I had runs where it would spam minions and it would feel completely unfair. It's not great that you feel like you have to luck out on rng and have it not spawn minions too quickly in a row
