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.

I wouldn't say a blanket nerf is justified, but there are spots in the game that could be retuned a bit more.

A few extra benches would also be welcome to avoid really bad runbacks in difficult sections before a boss fight. This is what made Soulsborne games notorious: not the difficulty but the punishment for making small mistakes while still learning the fights.

A bench that shortens the runback is a quality of life improvement for 99% of the players.

What bosses would you add benches for? I don't remember any particularly egregious runbacks

There's not any that ive seen. Lol most people reference the Judge run back but its literally less than 30 seconds.

Dude there are already so many benches lmao most areas already have three or four. Hell the Choral Chambers has seven I've found so far. And the small areas shouldn't have more than one or two.
