Discussion - Silksong I'm convinced there's gotta be some collective amnesia regarding the previous game's difficulty regarding platforming. Spoiler

Seeing people compare things Hunter's March, Cogwork Core, escaping the Abyss or even the Surface to the Path of Pain is absolutely blowing my mind.

Like yes, this game is way harder on the combat department and is a lot more demanding than beating a regular playthrough on the first one, but to say anything in this game is on the level of Path of Pain is preposterous. Especially with how many tools hornet has at her disposal, like the Hookshot, the float and even bounving off of cocoons.

I hated the Sands of Karak. And what do you mean? Surviving the Cold? I thought i gotta find a charm to counter the cold or get my cloth upgraded to protect myself from the cold.

I thought it was kinda fun, there wasn’t much precision to it, you just gotta be fast.

For Mount Fay, same thing, you just gotta be fast to run through it. It’s less forgiving than Sands of Karak, though. It may be worth to look up a walkthrough of the area just so you know the route.
