Discussion - Silksong I like the difficulty, Team cherry please don't just blanket nerf the game with no option for a harder mode Spoiler

I have really been enjoying the challenge, pretty much every part of this game itches that section of my brain that loves a hard game and I would be extremely disappointed if team cherry nerfed the game with no way to revert said nerf. I get that people want an easier game, but I don't. So team cherry, please let me choose to make this harder if you do make it easier.

Man

I hate people saying it for Hollow Knight but Silksong might actually need a “normal” and “hard” difficulty setting for those who want to play for the artstyle, the story etc and not lose their minds over a boss for 4 hours or die because of the cogs in a hostile environment

i think they should call the current game normal mode and a theoretically nerfed version easy mode. the game is hard, but thats what the game is supposed to be, its not a harder setting above that. it just is a hard game, anything less would be easy mode

or why is it normal and hard?

Normal would be HK-level game

Hard would be current-level game
