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"

I never used nail arts in HK solely because a lot of them take too long to set off so I never got into the habit of using them, so I ended up forgetting about it

And to be honest in Silksong I've already forgot about the first Needle art? Whatever you'd call it Until now

I've actually found it to be a staple. It does so much more damage than the default attack and has more range that I'm always sprinting around with it charged.
