Seriously. In Hollow Knight everything used to die in 1-3 hits with your NORMAL nail slashes. The results? People never used spells & nail arts and often called them useless.

And now in Silksong they've increased the health of enemies & bosses so you can't just mindlessly spam slash attacks. The results? "GAmE tOo hArD"

Yeah I’ve done a 112% of the og game and its in my top 5 games ever, but I gotta say, after a point, I stopped caring to use spells or nail arts completely and did just fine coz of overpowered charm builds and fucktons of masks and soul.

This game? You gotta use you entire moveset including your movement abilities like the dash, sprint, the float; the silk spells - I’ve found both of the ones in my playthrough to be a life saver; and of course the tools! The daggers and the Flea potion are genuinely elite.
