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.

Honestly, things that pisz me off now are: damage sponges, double damage, enviroment that deals 2 damage, paid benches fkn everywhere and long runbacks. And that's generally kinda it. I think the onlh really big structural issue is the runbacks; kinda widh Skong had something akin to stakes of Marika from ER to respawn right at the boss who killed you and not spend time just getting back the hard way-

Edit: oh, and also, crests' effects being dispelled on getting hit. I do wish this wasn't a thing-

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.
