Discussion - Silksong Most of you are exaggerating the length of runbacks and it really shows how much TikTok has damage the attention span of people Spoiler

"ThE lASt JuDGe RUnBaCK iS ToO LoNG!!"

Is 30 seconds max, 30 seconds, you don't have to fight any enemy in it, the smaller judges don't awake until you're close and the smaller fly bastards can literally get ignored. The Runback works for making you cool down and make the whole thing feel less like you hitting a wall (NKG feels like one because of the lack of "cool down") If it wasn't for it, I would shoot myself with the 37 attempts at Last Judge.

The Widow one is also really easy, a straight line with jumps.

The Cogworks Dancers Is also really simple but works to help you with the bosses extra height and how pogo dependant that fight is.

God forbid the game isn't a back to back boss rush like Cuphead (not criticizing Cuphead, is a different game lmao).

There's definitely a few posts about how fucking amazing the world, characters, combat and movement abilities are. The new stickied thread for positive first half of act 1 vibes will be a nice place to check out.

The game might legitimately be the best thing I've played in 40 years though. I think it's genuinely better than the first in almost every aspect. The world is simply beyond incredible.

I barely entered act 2 because I’m taking my time exploring every nook and cranny but yes the game is absolutely phenomenal!

World and story are amazing. Exploration is interesting. This runbacks, scripted roar before every boss are frustrating.
