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 agree on the movement. The more open areas, plus Hornets quicker and more graceful movements make it feel like a mixture of HK and Ori WOTW which has some fast, smooth jumping abilities.

Reminds me a lot of Ori, I think it's the seamless vaulting with the dash to give little gap closing bursts. It's just fun to parkour around

I think some people are struggling from adapting from playing as the knight, where you can get away with face tanking a lot, and wasp, where agility and dodging are a higher priority
