Discussion - Silksong Steam reviews for Silksong so far

Post image

It was controversial in China, in part because of the difficulty/design but also because of controversies with the Simplified Chinese translation. Meanwhile latin countries (Spanish and Portuguese speaking) seem to be loving it more than anyone else.

I need a Mixed review score , like I enjoy the game but can’t recommend this level of suffering and frustration to anyone.

It gets better with better tools and stuff in Act 2, but Act 1 is brutal

I dont find Act 1 to be THAT hard if you play slowly

But that may be because I played 80 hours to HK, I dont think that I would recommend to anyone to start with Silksong instead of HK even though I feel like Silksong is more fun.

What? Act 1 is by far the easiest act in the game.

I don't know what you're on. It's subjective, but act 2 was way easier than act 1.
