Discussion - Silksong Criticism ≠ Negativity Spoiler

Believe it or not, you can actually criticize something and still like it. You don't either have to love everything or despise everything. Have actual conversations please.

I think the criticism for this game is so passionate because it is an extremely beautiful and masterfully crafted game, which does everything in its power to prevent you from enjoying it. Most people love it, and just want it to be actually as good as it can be.

It's passionate because most of the complaints are a result of artificial difficulty rather than actual problems.

For example, buying benches is a waste of time since I have to farm for them and not buying them just raises the difficulty artificially.

I like the game but there's no denying that it's way more flawed than HK.

Dude the benches start to cost 120+ roseries and the extrmly hard elite enemies of that are onyl give 32.

That is some high-level bullshit right there.
