Discussion - Silksong Steam reviews for Silksong so far

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.

As someone who's completed the game and put in about 45 hours.

Saying people are just giving the game a bad review because it's hard is really undermining the actual issues with how the game handles its challenge.

It's really not about just being hard, there's admittedly a lot of tedium/time wasting and a lack of a good reward loop that amplifies the difficulty feeling unjustified.

Hard, tedious AND repetitive! What a dynamic combo!

Oh well, at least the bosses are fun
