An F.U. to Hollow Knight fans
The first couple of hours of the game are quite alright and feel pretty good, but very quickly you come to realize how brutal, unfair and punishing both the combat and platforming are. Initially, your movement is very limited, but you will encounter basic fodder enemies that move faster than you, take no knock-back from your hits and just charge through your attacks and hit you. Nothing you can do about it. Basic fodder flying enemies are the end-game bosses of Silksong. Their speed and erratic movements will destroy you while you flail about like a noob, even after more than 10 hours of play. Many basic enemies hit for 2 damage, just like bosses do. The platforming is equally brutal, especially with Hornet's early down attack, which is a diagonal downward movement. There are areas that are extremely frustrating to traverse due to this. At this time, I fought only 3 or 4 bosses, I think. A couple of early ones felt good, but the last one especially felt unfair. It was mostly due to it summoning flying enemies, which are the absolute end-game bosses of the game, more dangerout than the boss itself. It took many tries to defeat this boss and I cannot say it was skill that won the day. It felt like I just got lucky on that attempt. To this point in the game I have not been able to upgrade my health or weapon damage, but it feels like I should have been able to already. Speaking of bosses, combat rooms return, where multiple enemies spawn in succession and you have to defeat all of them to unlock the door to continue. These have been far more difficult than any boss so far. I would like to believe that the brutal difficulty and time wasting tedium is just a matter of balancing that will get polished with future patches, because as it stands, this game is not at all welcoming to new players, except maybe Dark Souls elitist masochists. In some ways it feels like an F.U. There are some good things too, but I hit the character limit and can't tell you about them.
