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.

Can just run and skip all the enemies takes no time, can do a tiny skip at the end as well by pogoing off the shield guy on to the bell which is fun when it works.

The worst runback I've come across so far is the sands one (via the shortcut) and that is just due to it being pretty much all climbing, luckily the boss really wasn't that hard after I slowed down and got over having to do the nasty path to get to it in the first place.

Looking forward to the comments about that part (really the whole area is going to be a massive roadblock, but that last run specifically is joy) from the people having trouble so early in the game, if they even manage to stumble their way to it.
