True! I also played Hollow Knight (though I didn't have the courage nor patience to go through the pantheons) and I can say 100% this game does feel like a walk in the park in comparison to the sheer "easy-to-understand hard-to-master" game mechanics both Silksong and Hollow Knight have.As someone who nearly 100%ed Hollow Knight (gonna play again soon, just didn't wanna continue on switch), 100%ed Nine Sols, and beat the latter's final boss damn-near damageless after hours of suffering, I would be INSULTED for someone to say this game is on the same level. This game is not bad, mind you, but that would be an insult to the finely crafted difficulty of those two games.
Fact is, I think there's people that are just genuinely bad at videogames. Game journalists kind of bad. But what separates someone who enjoys difficulty than someone who cries about it, is the resolve. I have a severe skill issue on most games, yet I somehow managed to get through Hollow Knight and most of its challenges; the game is just beatiful, the OST is incredible, the world feels so lived in, and every detail feels like it's actively telling you a story, about the lingering echoes of a now dead civilization.
Alright, I rambled too much. Yeah, skill issue.
