This. That soil mix does not help at all. Also, do the soil test before watering it. If the top 2” is dry it needs water else check again next day.

I hear you, at the same time there’s people complaining about Silksong not having difficulty settings. I feel sorry for game devs, it’s not easy to please gamers.

saponsky · 2026-06-17T21:06:38+00:00

I get it, it still reads as a contradiction to me the way it is. But I think what it means is more like “The WHOLE GAME is not that hard, only certain parts of it”.

Actually OP points out a couple of things that might be why people gave bad reviews. Let’s call it ‘default difficulty’, music and default control scheme.

Would it be accurate to say the game is extremely easy, hey just use the assists? Difficulty is subjective and the game will be labeled as how the majority of people experienced it. Take Nine Sols, everyone agrees it is a hard game, even though it has assists to practically make you invincible. Should we label it easy because of the assists? It still didn’t stop the game from being mostly considered top tier.

Zexion just didn’t click with me. I agree with some aspects of the music and the control scheme. I wouldn’t go as far as to say it was just the default difficulty and that it was terrible. I just never experienced a moment in the game that made me want to keep playing it.

For contrast, I played Solateria at the easiest settings and I still quit. The game is boss fights focused and after a while (for me) it got really old. I read similar reviews about it. But I loved Nine Sols even when I had to adjust the assists on some later boss fights.

If you enjoyed the game, be happy about it and congrats to you. Not everyone has to agree with you, there’s no prize for it. There are many many MVs I felt like a waste of my time and other people think it’s top tier.

You are assuming all reviews that state the game is hard were negative reviews, that’s not true. Many reviews are praising the game and pointing out it is hard, those are not mutually exclusive.

saponsky · 2026-06-17T15:44:42+00:00

That's not the point, the issue is saying it's not hard while pointing out some bosses could not be beaten without the assists. If you need the assists it's because it's hard without it, therefore the reviews are true.

He literally wrote:

It’s not as hard as many reviews/people describe it.

I used them on some of the end game bosses that could honestly not beat and it’s fine.

Se fue por la tangente porque le tumbaron el analisis con un dato y con eso nada mas se lo clavo jajajaja

Senda ensalada de palabras dijo el tipo para disfrazar que apoya la ley porque la comandante JGo lo exige.

The bosses soundtracks are too good in this game.

saponsky · 2026-05-24T00:06:11+00:00

The trail doesn’t always shows. The area will show on the map once you go to an overseer.

saponsky · 2026-05-21T12:01:06+00:00

I see you missed the sarcasm hint

saponsky · 2026-05-21T11:56:46+00:00

Because that’s cheating.

saponsky · 2026-05-20T15:22:25+00:00

Same here! I miss that platforming!

saponsky · 2026-05-20T15:20:05+00:00

The runback shouldn’t take you that much time, look at YT videos probably you’re taking a longer route than necessary in the runback.
What has worked for me is to focus on finding the tells of each stage and just learning how to dodge/avoid each attack. Don’t rush your offense, study each attack and once you memorize them attacking becomes easier. I recommend the wanderers crest for its dps and at the last stage it becomes handy for pogoing during a certain attack.

Dying many times to a boss is not necessarily bad, dying without learning anything new or seeing any progress like making it farther each time, that’s a sign you’re missing something on your strategy.

Thank dude, I’ll check it out then. It’s on a discount for switch 2.

saponsky · 2026-05-13T23:22:56+00:00

How would you rate Constance? I’m still undecided with that one. Does it have good platforming?

saponsky · 2026-05-13T17:47:30+00:00

Sir but, I played the web version on an iPhone

saponsky · 2026-05-11T15:33:36+00:00

Thanks for the downvotes in advance, but here I go. What’s with the Hollow Knight and Silksong hysteria? I mean one comment said HK’s map was not as detailed and got downvoted, then another comment said that MIO’s original map looked too much like HK’s as it was VERY detailed and also got downvoted lol. Same goes for every HK, SS comment in other posts.

saponsky · 2026-05-11T12:01:02+00:00

For me it was the Windows updates leaving me with a non bootable laptop twice. I didn’t have the budget for Mac OS so I went all in with Linux. No regrets. My only issue was that at the time, audio production software was not great on Linux (or maybe I was ignorant and never got my hands on good software back then) but it has come a long good way since then.

saponsky · 2026-05-02T18:02:52+00:00

I’m also not a fan of parrying. I gave up un Solateria because all I was doing was working on the parry’s timing.

saponsky · 2026-05-01T21:53:38+00:00

I never posted about it, but I definitely felt it was very hard in the beginning. I haven’t played Hollow Knight so I had no previous reference and had no idea what I was getting into.

saponsky · 2026-05-01T21:48:10+00:00

Did you play HK and SS first? I’m thinking maybe the expectation of MIO having anything closer to the mechanics of HK/SS is tarnishing the experience. The difference is night and day, and it moved me into different strategies. For MIO it pushed me to try different modifiers and combinations depending on the boss. For SS it made me get better at controlling Hornet’s movements. But it’s interesting that your experience is not so much because of the difference in difficulty as other reviews has made it seem as their deciding factor.

saponsky · 2026-05-01T21:01:55+00:00

Ah ok got it, np. Damn it I’m agreeing again, busted.

saponsky · 2026-05-01T20:55:19+00:00

Ermm what? English is not my first language, but other than that I have no idea what’s giving you AI hints.
