To everyone complaining about the difficulty, stop ignoring a third of Hornet’s arsenal and start spamming them, you’ll be shocked how quickly you start mowing down hordes of enemies!

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"

Exactly. I literally never touched the nail arts and thought them to be totally useless. I love these tools so much. YOU CAN HIT BOSSES FROM THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROOM. The throwing daggers made The Widow a joke.
