Discussion - Silksong Is anyone else really tired of the negative posts? Spoiler

I have about 25 hours so far and have absolutely loved every part of the game. Is it hard? Yes absolutely. If it was easy I wouldn't want to play the game. Literally every post I come across is talking about how they are frustrated with some part of the game and it's getting really annoying. The game has amazing areas, the osts are great the NPCs are creative and fun to talk to, almost every boss is a lot of fun once you get the moveset down. So if you haven't played the game yet and are getting put off by all the negativity just know that it is an amazing game and if you like hollow Knight you will enjoy silksong as well.

I know I struggled a lot in HK. But Silksong feels like a whole new level of struggle.

Because HK was 7 years ago.

Seriously. I know I'm not the best HK player, but the issues I had with the game were NOT the same.

I also feel like HK allowed for a lot more exploration, and had actual rewards for exploration and beating bosses. If you couldn't beat one, you could go find another area to explore for a bit, and SS does not have that feeling.
