Haven’t made too much story progress since starting act 2 but I got the double jump, ring grapple thing, and a backwards dodge charm, I’m so damn mobile rn

I thought everyone was talking about another shortcut at first because tbh that run back does have some kinda tricky platforming to it until you have to do it ten times in a row because the boss keeps painting the floor with your silk

Beat earlier. On the attempt where I beat him, I somehow glitched out of the arena and had to restart the whole fight including the gauntlet portion, which I wasn’t thrilled about. Beat him with one health point left in typical fashion lol.

i wish wasn't this difficult, moreso out of boredom than frustration. i spent all day on this (granted, fifteen minutes at a time so i don't get too frustrated) and i just want to explorrrrre. there's so many other areas to get to, so much art and music to appreciate, but then there's this fucker in the way ughhh

It’s such a good song to have on a playlist UNTIL the esoteric flute interlude lands. Gets me every time. Rules in the context of the album though.

Making every enemy a flying enemy that specifically hangs out diagonally above you in a game where you can't attack diagonally is such horse shit. Team Cherry are fucking lucky there is an ocean between us

It only took a week for the ultimate Silksong sicko to beat every boss in the game without getting hit Let this inspire you all to greater heights.

Funny enough, I found what's apparently the optimal runback not long after I posted my comment haha

i put it down for a few days because I was pissed about the run back and couldn’t do it. I was really contemplating quitting. Picked it up last night and got the run back down and then grinded through the boss fight. Boss still took probably 30 attempts though. There’s a few videos out there showing an easy way to run back.

There are areas of this game where it truly feels like they just want to be cruel and I feel no accomplishment for getting through it. Just "thank fucking god I'm done with that".

it's uhhhh complicated? I'm only like part way through the first act, so big grain of salt the game is absolutely beautiful. The platforming is incredibly fluid and tight -- especially once you get some of the movement upgrades its a joy to just run around on. but its also incredibly punishing. very easy for one slight mistake on a boss to throw your rhythm off and because of how the bosses work, quickly kill you. there is often a lengthy time getting back to a boss, which can add to the aggravation. Feels like there are more bosses/gauntlets than the original, so exploring can be a challenge because you never know when you're gonna get into another challenge fight you need to win to save all your rosaries. but all of the bosses so far feel fair, just hard and the joy of beating them is as good as ever. so as someone who loves the exploration aspect of metroidvanias rather than the difficulty, I'm maybe a bit disappointed it feels so much harder than the OG. But its still an incredibly good game and a worthy GOTY contender at this point (even if Blue Prince maybe still has the edge for me personally)
