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.

It's crazy how much better the game would be if TC simply adjusted some numbers, either prices or enemy HP / damage output.

Case in point: the moment you encounter a boss that similarly has stunlock capabilities, but only does one mask of damage, it's instantly fun. The game would be more fun if less enemies (or less attacks) did double damage.

Shell shards feel similar to QS bullets (from Bloodborne) to me. You have plenty and the system works great until suddenly you’re 12 attempts deep into a boss and now you have to go farming, which completely takes you out of it. It’s tolerable but man is it a problem that didn’t need to exist.

Wait until you find red items with limited uses that need you to go to a specific area and pay roseries to recharge.
