Too difficult. The game is playing me.

Too difficult. I played Hollow Knight a few years back, spent much time "beating" the game, say 98% (because the rest was too difficult). Now, this one is one or two levels more difficult. Or three. Not only combat, also platforming (after Craw lake) is way more punishing. So I have the same feeling as for the Dark Souls series - Try, die, die, die die, repeat 20-30 times and beat the mini-boss. There are so many of them that I don't feel to spend 100 or more hours to get to the bad ending. Or maybe 200 hours to get to 90%. This is no fun. G. PS: two stars for the art and the hope that you can finish the game.

To cumbersome

Lovely game made with passion but too much situations were it feels unnecessary time wasting and cumbersome. To long ways from respawn to bosses and jumping puzzles. Damage balance is broken. All this makes the game artifical long and lead more to quit the game then to see a competion like in HK origin.

I want to like this game more

Compared to the original Hollow Knight, this game just feels *worse* in a way I can't describe. There's a lot of great stuff in here—another amazing soundtrack, fantastic art direction, and some fun characters—but the core gameplay loop just feels off. Compared to the original game, Silksong feels like it *hates* you—the original Hollow Knight would attempt to run you over with a mid-sized sedan every now and then, while this game is just constantly running, and then backing, over you with a Cadillac Escalade.

Im in a toxic relationship already.

Honestly love it so far. The single complaint I have is that too many things deal 2 masks of damage. The enviornmental damage being the weirdest. Some bosses have a bunch of 2 damage combos too but their bosses so I think they get a pass... its just quite a lot of 2 damage attacks tbh...

If they took another month...

Game looks gorgeous, sounds awesome, content is along the lines of Hollow Knight. But the bosses vary between "nice", "awful" and "who thought this was fun? did anyone ever play this?" Just why?
