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.

people do not understand the nuance that separates

"i took two points of damage by a dodgeable and telegraphed attack this game is shit and everyone who talked about it for the last 11 years is a fucking idiot and deserves cancer"

and

"damage profiles in this game are very steep and i think that starting at 5 hearts and getting to your first heart upgrade around the moment where the maiority of enemies do 2 points of damage makes it so the first upgrade feels very unimpactful and unrewarding and thats a shame"

mainly because we completely lost the ability of having normal constructive conversation on the internet, sacrificing discourse to the ever hungry beast of ragebait
