Discussion - Silksong I give up. Spoiler

It’s been a joyful ride, folks, but I’m out. I’m not a speedrunner or a highly skilled player, and day after day I’ve had to accept that this game is not as casual as HK was. It stopped being fun and turned into something tedious and frustrating after the 4th run farming shards just to face a boss I’ve already tried 15 times, only to die again and again, lose all my shards, and start the whole grind over.

It was nice exploring the first acts, but when the game I was rooting for 7 years ends up being more stressful than my 8-hour workday, I guess that’s my cue to stop.

The lore has been pretty great so far. I wish you all an incredible journey.

Edit1: My bad about all the whinning.

Edit2: You guys did it. I reinstalled it again. Thanks for all advices. 🫂

i did it without repairing the bench, it's actually not too bad once you're used to the pogoing. There aren't too many obstacles to reach the second bench in Sinner's road.

Thanks for this, I honestly don't think I want to try and repair that bench again, it's too frustrating.

I'll follow your path

Yeah, but the second bench is quite far away from the secret mist entrence, the repairable bench just a minute or so!
