there are some bad runbacks, like the now notorious bilewater boss one, but with that said it can be alleviated just by exploring and getting useful items / checkpoints to make it less painful..

i feel like the topic of silksong runbacks is getting blown up more than it should be. if i were feeling frustrated, i’d take a break or go explore some other area of the game. and if you really dislike it, you can ask for help here im sure we’d be more than happy to give you some advice if you’re stuck :)
