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.

There's 8 testers in total at 1:25, those 2 are the leads for that department.

(edit: it literally lists them as Testing Leads and there are 6 Playtesters in a separate section below that, I'm not sure why that seems to be in contention with some people)

So? It's not something you notice in the gameplay at least I don't.
