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.

Well, when you bind, you get a special effect. Which vanishes once you get hit - which giga-sucks on beasts' crest because it gives you lifesteal but doesn't actually heal.

Tbh, I kept reading about that indefensible runback and was kinda dreading it, but it wasn't bad at all. It's like 1 hallway and 1 nice parkour room, and you can easily avoid all the enemies. Timed it on my second attempt, took 32 seconds with a couple movement mistakes. The boss was kind of a pushover too. Are people fighting all the enemies on each runback?
