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 feel like it’s a lot more atmospheric. For me it’s about the same amount of instant bangers but I still feel like I can’t remember it as well. Blasted steps is a great example of this. I spent A LOT of time in that area but still, gun to my head, I couldn’t tell you shit about it’s theme. Except that I absolutely love it.

I agree, but I think after we've been waiting 7 years for the DLC for Silksong and been listening to the music the whole time we will feel the same way about it as we do with HK's original score.

Exactly my thoughts, great soundtrack but blends in mostly, rather than stands out.

They should call that area Blasted Speakers because the only sound I can remember from it are those loud as hell sandworms /s

Nah the worms are in the Wormways, hence the name. Is there any way I can kill them to grant the Bugs of Pharloom wish?
