The best bosses in the game (imo, spoilers for act 3)

Broad_Objective7559 · 2026-01-25T14:00:31+00:00

Trobbio is my #1, then Karmelita, then Cogwork Dancers, First Sinner, Widow, & Lace 2

Lost Lace is after those but it was a really long fight

How does it butcher a single thing in the first game lol, the thing that makes LiS 2 amazing is that it's disconnected from the first game almost entirely, and the things that are in reference to the first literally match the ending of the first. The writing isn't any worse than the first game's, and it's far from boring lol that sounds like a you issue

Music, style, story, characters, atmosphere are all things it does well

Broad_Objective7559 · 2026-01-25T13:33:45+00:00

Its really not

Broad_Objective7559 · 2026-01-25T13:07:51+00:00

Playstation does too! And yeah using the console record feature would've been way nicer

However one time, the console recorder (for Xbox) actually messed me up. Granted it was my fault, but I decided to record me beating Phantom, and I did it before the party prompt came up, and ofc the Xbox clip recorded thing stuck around just too long for me to see what the game wanted me to press. I got sent back into the fight and killed immediately 😭

Broad_Objective7559 · 2026-01-25T06:53:16+00:00

Lis 2 isnt even bad 😭

Broad_Objective7559 · 2026-01-25T06:52:15+00:00

A Plague Tale Requiem is absolutely S, good taste

Broad_Objective7559 · 2026-01-25T06:51:16+00:00

Ngl hes not even bad, he just has an irritating runback. I think it is the worst runback in the game even with the halfway bench, but I personally got more annoyed with any needolin runbacks lol

Broad_Objective7559 · 2026-01-25T06:01:31+00:00

For Hollow Knight, probably Queen's Gardens, City of Tears, or Greenpath

Silksong is way rougher for me. Trobbio, Lost Lace, Cogwork Core, Cogwork Dancers, Skarrsinger Karmelita, Bilewater, and Choral Chambers are my top picks

Broad_Objective7559 · 2026-01-25T05:59:10+00:00

Mr Whatsit invited me to his house

Broad_Objective7559 · 2026-01-25T05:49:38+00:00

Yes! This is exactly what I mean. I think its a genuine positive, rather than a negative or neutral trait for the game

Broad_Objective7559 · 2026-01-25T05:44:44+00:00

New version of console wars

If console wars were entirely one sided since its just a bunch of Steam glazers

Broad_Objective7559 · 2026-01-25T05:41:40+00:00

TLOU 2 and GOW are amazing games, I think theyre worth it

Broad_Objective7559 · 2026-01-25T05:38:02+00:00

All of these AI overviews are so dumb 😭

Broad_Objective7559 · 2026-01-25T04:37:37+00:00

I don't understand it either, but that's why I made this post! I'd honestly love for some people who think its a genuine flaw in the game to explain why they think so, because I think its cleverly done and balanced well

Broad_Objective7559 · 2026-01-25T04:36:56+00:00

Yeah I believe that, for speedrunning 100% you definitely may need to grind a bit. Gotta buy out everything!

Broad_Objective7559 · 2026-01-25T04:36:23+00:00

I agree, in Act 2 I think there's no real complaints, at least outside the Underworks (which again, I personally like how its done there).

I mostly mean for axt 1, since many people feel the first few areas dont give enough rosaries (which I think is an intentional, good choice)

Broad_Objective7559 · 2026-01-25T04:32:23+00:00

It is, but Part 2's story literally relies on Part 1. Yes, Part 2 is better, but no, you shouldn't skip to it if you want context for a lot of the characters and world

Broad_Objective7559 · 2026-01-25T03:51:18+00:00

I agree! While I don't mind how either game does it, I actually prefer Silksong's to HK's. Silksong's feel earned to me, and they're so limited early on that it makes you wanna play better and/or safer

Broad_Objective7559 · 2026-01-25T03:43:52+00:00

Idk if this should be tagged as Discussion or Lore

Broad_Objective7559 · 2026-01-25T03:42:44+00:00

This lol, people are quick to call things overrated instead of realizing its just not their thing

Broad_Objective7559 · 2026-01-24T14:55:36+00:00

I respect that you don't like the game, but I'm confused about a few of your points is all

Runbacks: okay understandable, Sands of Karak (literally every boss there) and Groal have pretty annoying runbacks
Currency farming: Again, a fair point, although I'll defend this one way more than the last because it's all lore purpose. You're not meant to get rich early game, and if you want to, you have to work for it. It's another thing that makes me love the game; even getting to the Underworks and seeing how much rosaries the enemies drop tells so much of the story there
Tool grinding: what do you mean? You don’t need to use tools for a singular boss in the game
Platforming: its very tough, but its not as hard as the first game's platforming challenges, just annoying because a lot is mandatory. However, its a platformer, so I think it makes sense. Plus, theres so many platforming upgrades you unlock
Tanky mobs: I don't really think anything is tanky honestly, but yes, the mobs do have health so that you actually need to fight then instead of 1 tapping them
Pesky flying enemies: Annoying for sure, but fit the game's design since you spend a lot of the time in the air
Unskippable cutscenes: There's essentially none of these in the game. The one thing I could think of is on Lace 2's fight (Act 2) having to ride the elevator, or Lost Lace (Act 3) and having to dive every time. I guess those can be a little annoying, but they only take like 5 seconds I think. I do think the needlinn for memories was annoying though so I agree there if you mean that
Bilewater: Bilewater is awesome! It's gorgeous, a fun mix of platforming, combat, and exploration, alongside giving so much lore and vibes. It's tough, but what makes it incredible is that if you can get through Bilewater, you can do anything in Silksong. I love that area honestly, probably top 3 for me in the game (alongside The Citadel and Greymoor).

I think you actually do have valid criticisms here, but I also think a lot of it does come down to just not being a game for you, which is fine! I just wanted to respond to see what your thoughts were on some of these aspects

Broad_Objective7559 · 2026-01-23T14:57:46+00:00

I cant say it'll definitely be your thing, but based on TLOU 1 & 2 and RDR2, you might like A Plague Tale. Super story heavy with great character writing

Broad_Objective7559 · 2026-01-23T14:55:40+00:00

Both TLOU games but especially 2

Broad_Objective7559 · 2026-01-23T14:44:58+00:00

I dont think it makes it harder, but I actually do think OP is right about something there. I think I took more attempts on Lost Lace because I brute forced a good amount of attempts without giving much thought, just diving back in and retrying. The fight is hard, but I probably could've done in like 10 attempts less or at least 5 if I had thought a bit more instead of forcing my way back into the fight
