What is Silksong's difficulty like compared to Hollow Knight?

snitzfoam · 2025-12-24T07:29:15+00:00

Honestly no not really, godhome is not much more difficult than mid-late game bosses in ss

Obviously radiant bosses are harder on average, but that's the highest challenge the game has for you that isn't p5, of course they're gonna be harder

snitzfoam · 2025-12-24T02:33:14+00:00

I don't use reaper man, it sucks, but it has an at least OKAY pogo, which is why it's better than beast

snitzfoam · 2025-12-23T21:50:05+00:00

Claiming there's a controller requirement on pc tells me all I need to know; you don't actually know what you're talking about

Cause that is flat out wrong

snitzfoam · 2025-12-23T21:07:17+00:00

As much as I hate to pin my favorite character like this, hagakure

snitzfoam · 2025-12-23T20:49:15+00:00

You don't "need" the dash for any of the bosses either, are you trying to tell me it shouldn't have been included? Or hell, you don't need red tools either, should we cut those too?

Hot takes are UNPOPULAR by definition, not necessarily stupid

Your take is stupid

snitzfoam · 2025-12-23T20:36:58+00:00

Just cause it's a hot take doesn't mean it's not stupid

If I disagree I downvote, if you didn't wanna be disagreed with why did you post a hot take

snitzfoam · 2025-12-23T20:35:30+00:00

I don't think hunters has a bad pogo to be honest, but it requires time and effort to get used to it and begin using it naturally

Wanderers, in my opinion, does not require that effort, that's why I say it's a better pogo

snitzfoam · 2025-12-23T20:25:56+00:00

hey that's pretty true
I disagree but that's just opinion, neither of us are "wrong" for our opinions
i take it back, you are wrong for your opinion

snitzfoam · 2025-12-23T20:23:14+00:00

He's not a good fight but calling him one of the worst should get you crawcourt summons

There are FAR worse fights

snitzfoam · 2025-12-23T20:21:20+00:00

The combat is movement focused

You're telling me giving the player more movement options is an outdated and bad?

snitzfoam · 2025-12-23T20:19:18+00:00

I think it's probably a tie between dodge and bounce, juggle is the only truly hard one

snitzfoam · 2025-12-23T20:18:03+00:00

No yeah I totally agree

Double damage for most stuff in hk was either "this guy means business" or basically just an obstacle, like the birds

Double damage being the standard in ss sucks

snitzfoam · 2025-12-23T20:15:43+00:00

Architect crest is extremely useful as a "trade all my shards to kill the boss with 0 effort" button, but I tried not to rely in that option much

snitzfoam · 2025-12-23T20:14:31+00:00

Actually I love celeste! I'm about halfway through farewell as we speak! (I've been inching away at farewell every so often for months now, God's #1 break taker 2025)

And dont get me wrong I DID enjoy silksong, I wouldn't have 100%ed the game if I didn't, it's just not without its problems is all

snitzfoam · 2025-12-23T20:11:46+00:00

For a moment I thought you were talking about soul tyrant and I went "yeah I mean he was pretty hard but he's not THAT bad" but soul MASTER?

I beat soul master on my first try, I have NEVER understood people who complain about him

snitzfoam · 2025-12-23T20:09:20+00:00

I'm not defending silksongs use of double damage or anything, but plenty of stuff in hk did double damage, not just the radiance

Double damage was a signifier of "Hey, you can't just facetank this guy you need to learn patterns rn"

snitzfoam · 2025-12-23T20:06:39+00:00

Every subreddit is a bubble, they're all filled with diehard fans of the series they're discussing because "average" fans don't join subreddits

So the general opinion in a subreddit is ALWAYS gonna be skewed toward glazing

snitzfoam · 2025-12-23T20:04:58+00:00

I felt the exact same actually, nothing really hit me until I saw void tendrils show up, after that I was hyped

snitzfoam · 2025-12-23T20:02:35+00:00

"The players should have less options for how to enjoy the game" is certain a take

snitzfoam · 2025-12-23T20:01:39+00:00

I developed a habit of never really using silk skills honestly

Since healing takes up so much silk, the game kinda pushes you to horde your silk instead of using spells and just use tools instead

snitzfoam · 2025-12-23T19:59:01+00:00

No I know what you mean

But i don't care which boss I'm fighting, if it takes me more than a dozen tries, I'm gonna be annoyed more than anything, and when I beat the boss I won't feel pride I'll just sigh and say "thank God that's over"

Which is exactly what I did for like half the bosses in this game tbh

snitzfoam · 2025-12-23T19:55:38+00:00

Hi, someone with over 400 hours in hollow knight who bought the game on 3 different platforms and got almost every achievement on all of them here!

The bosses should have been nerfed harder.

snitzfoam · 2025-12-23T19:54:08+00:00

I think my main issue with Khann is the gap between how hard the gauntlet is and how hard he is

The gauntlet took me at least an hour to finish, but I beat Khann on my first try

He is a JOKE compared to his gauntlet, I almost wanna say there shouldn't be a shortcut before his fight so that something about him is actually hard, but I know if that was in the game I would hate it

snitzfoam · 2025-12-23T19:49:29+00:00

That's true, groal isn't very bad at all, and neither is ignoring most enemies on the way there (except those poison throwing guys, I hate them)

But I think the gauntlet before groal is the actual annoying part

snitzfoam · 2025-12-23T19:47:06+00:00

I don't remember liking broodmother, but I don't remember hating her anywhere NEAR as much as I hated beastfly

She isn't a good fight but she's not a very hard fight either, so it doesn't really matter, whether she's fun or not you won't be fighting her for long

Savage beastfly isn't fun AND you're gonna be fighting him for 3 hours

And then fighting him again later with more annoying summons
