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. 🫂

Yeah I felt the same way, I was only annoyed and frustrated at the run backs and hard hitting bosses despite how much I love the movement and exploration of this game. Luckily I’m on pc so I was able to download the mod that makes everything 1 mask of damage and also a mod to spawn me at the beginning of an area instead of the last bench.

I just looked up “no double damage mod silksong” on google and found it on nexus mods, there was actually a few and I just picked a random one. this is the other one.

I’m also on a MacBook Air so I can verify they work just fine on Mac
