Silksong is one of the worst games I've ever played. Literally like 1/10. and I really liked Hollow Knight and went into it in good faith wanting to like Silksong, I've been looking forward to this game. I decided to try another metroidvania instead and tried Metroid Zero Mission because I was itching for a metroidvania and it's about 1000 times more fun and atmospheric.

It's like they took anything slightly bad about hollow knight and made it worse, and took out everything that made it good.

Also I read a lot of the negative chinese/japanese reviews about this game, no one is mentioning translation issues at all, they just don't like the game because it's poorly designed.

Pic related, translated japanese review

I swear western audiences were so desperate for at least something to release that isn't a broken, incomplete buggy piece of shit that they are resorting to attacking anyone that speaks against Silksong.

thats because (You) suck, anon.

personally I like finding powerful upgrades, whole fucking areas and cool boss fights behind little hidden cubbies. Sometimes youre just exploring and then you find a game changing ability. Kino
of course, sometimes little tykes like yourself struggle with basic platforming. Pic related is for you.

The game is boring as shit. The areas are difficult but not engaging. A good area makes you feel like you're accomplishing something, like how you descend into Blighttown through tons of retard enemies and platforming to hit a swamp at the bottom of the world. Bilewater by comparison is just walking through extremely similar corridors until you reach a boss. The bosses themselves are too easy, Hornet is too powerful for these HK1 tier bosses. Overall, a disappointment.

Ok tell me what I should have done. I was walking around exploring near the early game in a new area. I bought a map and then kept exploring further and ran into a bench, and because I bought a map, I couldn't use the bench. So I kept exploring and in a random corridor, it actually turned out to be a boss fight and the entrance sealed off. There was no visual indication that the area would be a boss fight. By design none of the bosses in this game can be defeated first try you are meant to memorize the moves and use tools deliberately, but I never had a chance to do that. So I die and have to go walking around again through no fault of my own. How is that good game design?

Difficulty isnt even in the top 5 issues with this game behind a total lack of rewards, boring areas not as memorable as the first game, lackluster bosses that dont match up to the best bosses of HK1, the first game being completely plot irrelevant until the very end of the game and the new colored charm system being inferior to the first game's freeform customization.

Team cherry have spent the last 8 years huffing their own farts, that's the problem with this game. They think people will endure endless bullshit just to get a whiff of the next crappy same looking area or lame plot. Fuck that I'm quitting the game.

>I was walking around exploring near the early game in a new area. I bought a map and then kept exploring further and ran into a bench, and because I bought a map, I couldn't use the bench. So I kept exploring and in a random corridor,
seems fine so far, if you were desperate you couldve gone back, or, broke a rosary chain for it.
>it actually turned out to be a boss fight and the entrance sealed off. There was no visual indication that the area would be a boss fight.
sounds BS, every boss in the early game are in pretty obvious "this looks like trouble" rooms
>By design none of the bosses in this game can be defeated first try
thats evidently not true, based on all the people who beat them first try, myself included. I died, IIRC, to my first boss was moorwing which was my own fault.
>you are meant to memorize the moves and use tools deliberately,
You realise you can play slow, and watch, carefully fighting the boss while cautiously waiting for it to attack, you dont HAVE to go gungho right away
>but I never had a chance to do that.
you literally did...
>So I die and have to go walking around again through no fault of my own.
it is LITERALLY your fault, anon, you control the buttons you press.
if you were without bench then thats all the more reason to be careful and stop panic playing the game.
Theres no real reason you HAD to die to an early game boss, theyre all very simple, easy to avoid by just bouncing over, watching what attacks they do and THEN going on the offensive when youre comfy
either way it only takes 8-9 hits (depending on if you found the silk regen) early game to be able to heal THREE hp back, so, I dont know what your (skill) issue was but come on now

what do YOU want instead? a pat on the back, a there there from the game as it lets you kill the boss in one hit?

It's a 5/10, but mainstream journos don't dare say it.

>>720725502
>powerful upgrades
in an actual Metroidvania, you find powerful upgrades. Here you find a "weapon upgrade" that changes a flying enemy go from dying in 6 hits to dying in 6 hits.

I know you're shitposting but just in case, do you guys not use what the game gives you? I see a ton of people complaining about flying enemies in this game and I don't know how considering you get plenty of ranged projectiles in the game and they all die to the very first silk skill you get

>>720726691
no seriously, the first nail upgrade I found changed absolutely nothing about the most common enemy I was currently fighting. I tested it with an earlier spare save I made to see if I wasn't going insane.

except there isn't any way to farm rosaries or power up without exploring so i basically don't have a choice except to walk into some random bs trap and die.

It wasn't just japanese players, but chinese players as well. It's more just the fact that they aren't so invested in shilling for this game which westerners seem to cultishly do, and also they have a culture of giving more fair reviews rather than just glazing everything.

>>720726223
Rewards? In a game? The exploration and the fights itself are the rewards.

>>720727375
I'm fine with hard games but it just has to be fair. I've beaten games much harder than silksong, like getting all gold medals in super mario wii u challenge mode (if you haven't played it you won't understand how much harder than anything in silksong that is, I can beat silksong it's just tedious) The enemies don't just respawn instantly and the game discourages you from farming like that, it's not the intended way of playing the game, you are supposed to explore but then the game doesn't want you to do that either and you die unavoidable deaths because the game developers huffed their farts too much to understand how to balance a game.

why do you care about reviews
are you not capable of forming your own opinions and deciding whether you like a game or not?

Those two are optional bosses. Plus by the time you get there you have access to the Dreamgate which nullifies runbacks.

>>720727953
actually it was some random enemy rush in deep docks

i legit don't understand how silksong of all games is evil for being too hard on the same planet that fuckin sekiro got universal acclaim. that game is like 10x as hard.

>>720727548
the fights are enjoyable but fuck me if i fight, die, and practice a boss to get absolutely fucking nothing for the effort. hk had much better rewards for boss fights.

>>720728193
Sekiro isn't a platformer

>>720727980
maybe for hive knight, but mantis lords are an early game boss. they're right below the wall jump item necessary to beat the game

the games like a 7/10
artstyle is excellent
traversing the world is better thanks to better moveset (but still shitty compared to actual platformers) and better connected fast travel system, but less rewarding because so often its just 6 rosaries
difficulty is fine
moving through the map for the story is a lot more linear and areas still have the same repetitive flow of one linear path to the areas main draw (boss or upgrade) with one or two offshoots for connections and then a bunch of dead ends with shitty rewards
gameplay suffers massively because of story autism (money ditribution, the entirety of act 3)
story/lore is much more bland but personally i dont really care a ton about story
runbacks arent as bad as people made out but are still tedious
so many fucking fetch quests
shards system has no reason to exist
so many small QoL issues that should have been caught in 7 fucking years (slidy rosaries, input issues like counterintuitive SE and SW detection for pogos and the double jump/float bullshit)
act 3 is a fucking disaster. extremely clear that they started with "how can we do the void so it gets more lore and reddit can soiface at the knight" and shoehorned a story working backwards from there
bosses are a huge step down compared to hollow knight

my second point about traversal actually helps a lot for the minute to minute enjoyment of the game compared to hk, but all the other steps back really add up

>>720728445
I want to find the 8 niggers who playtested this shit and ask what the fuck they were doing

>>720728193
I don't really care about difficulty but I found Sekiro to be much less frustrating than Silksong. I got all the Sekiro endings and beat Demon of Hatred but the Bilewater runback just made me quietly put down the game and not pick it back up.

Probably deepthroating Team Cherry for 8 years, you know the kind of guys that can't criticize anything because somehow, it would be like them admitting the game is bad.

>>720728619
the 2019 trailer was probably something of a vertical slice but we can see from it that the game was already in a somewhat complete state. that, combined with their reasoning for all the delays being "we were just having so much fun tweaking and adding and finetuning" literally means the game should have 6 years of polish

which is what makes the state of it so baffling. if it had come out 2 years after hk id be forgiving but how the fuck are there so many little QA issues when they had so long to catch them? why do areas like the coral, volt, and wisp thicket zones feel so half assed and rushed? im genuinely convinced atp that they just sat around and jerked off for 6 years

this is a dishonest difficulty
i dont really have a lot of gripes, but the arena mode in this game feels like they hire the laziest game designer, and this is his vision of "difficult"

>>720726730
I never had an issue with hollow knight "runbacks" (which isn't even a traditional metroidvania game design element they just shoved that into silksong from soulslike games) and beat almost every boss in that game on my first try. silksong just makes it depressing and gay.

>>720727712
>unavoidable deaths
NTA but I've died many deaths in this game so far, and not a single one of them was unavoidable.
From reading your discussion it's painfully obvious you're just bad at the game. I think you really should go back to Mr. Mario's Happy Bouncy Time. Seems more up your alley.

>>720728902
this shit is so bizarre. people cant admit the game is good but flawed. it has to be a perfect masterpiece. ive literally seen multiple videos by different people saying "i love the game, i think its the greatest game ever made, BUT, [glaring issue that would obviously preclude it from the title of greatest game ever made]. i dont mind that though"

these people have spent the past 7 years making hk and the anticipation for silksong their entire gaming personality. admitting its flawed after waiting this long would mean admitting to themselves that they wasted their time being so devoted to something thats merely "pretty good"

>>720729208
Silksong isn't even that hard it's just very tedious and grindy. Mario u challenge mode is much harder than any boss in this game. If you beat Screwtop It Up you would understand what real not artificial difficulty means.

>>720728840
It wasn't just Bilewater, but also stuff like the Last Judge and Sands of Karak runbacks. All three of these can be made better if you know how to optimize them but if the only advice that can be given is finding a way to make it as short and painless as possible then Team Cherry should've just not had the runbacks in the first place or something. At least that's my take on the situation.

I feel that if I went back to the game at this point I'd have such a grudge that I wouldn't be able to properly enjoy myself like I was doing up until Last Judge, which is when I started getting this feeling of dissatisfaction with everything.

The whole difficulty conversation I feel is just a stupid talking point because whatever most people are upset about is a collection of various mechanics that they don't enjoy. It isn't productive to blame "difficulty" just as much as the "skill issue" line helps no one. It's perfectly fine for some people to be okay with the runbacks or 2 damage everywhere and others to not be. I think people just get caught up in "objective quality" or otherwise people gushing about/shitting on a game that they hate/love respectively, and making wild overcorrecting statements out of irritation. This is especially the case with people who don't like the game since they're likely already upset about the game itself.

I think some of them are really bad. They're inconsistent. Some bossfights have bench 10 meters away but some have none. It's like game was in development hell and map was redesigned thousand times. Oh wait...
It's also pretty evident they didn't test the game at all. Look at how they patched float/double jump issue.

I remember people talking about the runback to the frog fight. What people don't understand is that they can use the last stage of the runback to hit the fat mosquitoes till they are fully healed, remove the worms if they fell on the way there. It's also a very good platforming stage, I don't know why people hate these.

>>720730307
I use Reaper too. Wanderer having 1 red slot is an instant no-no, Hunter is acceptable but you have to learn the pogo with that, and Architect is a meme. Reaper has drawbacks with the slower attacks and terrible jump upward attack, but the silk regen balls you get after healing makes up for it and helps you stay more active in the fight with your skills.

>>720730307
Hunter for the most part. It's just a solid all rounder that doesn't have any shortcomings. And it's really satisfying to pull off aerial combat with the dive pogo.
But for really tight, annoying platforming I do still switch to wanderer.

>>720730307
reaper for 99% of the game
shaman for second sentinel and the last boss
personally i don' think the ground healing is that bad but i really don't like the fact it only has like 2 charm slots

>>720730481
>because redditors were complaining
Unpatch the game and play with original input.
It was awful.

>>720730307
Shaman because Pale Nails is really fucking good. I used Witch until that point

>>720730181
I'd say the biggest issue with the runbacks is that much of the areas in Silksong are designed to be obstacle courses first and foremost. The runbacks don't really capture the imagination. They aren't difficult enough to be part of the challenge on repeat go-throughs and due to Hornet's increased mobility you just run past everything rather than actually taking in the atmosphere. It creates this feeling in the mind that there's no reason behind them, that for all intents and purposes the game could've just respawned the player outside the boss room because nothing is being gained for the 30 seconds lost doing the runback.

>>720730687
It wasn't. I beat the game before the patch came out and I never had issues with it. People just needed to clean up their inputs but it's far easier to complain that it is to fix it yourself

>>720729617
>>720729518
fuck i dont know about that, i never use guide for my 1st playthrough

>>720730181
some feels kinda ass like bilewater, even with the "secret bench"
i like the last judge tho, and optimizing your runbacks feels great sometimes. i think phantom runbacks should be the standard, probably make it harder but not longer. sometimes more is less

>>720730431
Nigger, it takes over 100 hits with the unupgraded nail to beat them.

I watched some Speedrun McGee reach Greymoor in under 20 minutes and I was dumbfounded by how far skill and reluctance to explore can take you in this game.

I tried:
Reaper
Architect
Wanderer
Hunter
I did not try:
Witch
Shaman
Beast

I settled on Hunter, because I like that it's pogo is fast and angular (I don't want to default to old pogo) and that it has the highest theoretical power (when you never get hit).
My second pick would by Reaper, it's probably the most noob-friendly pick.
I didn't play Architect with the lifeblood trick, but I thought it was neat anyway.
Wanderer seemed meh, because you're not using it's attack speed advantage in many situations. But it's probably also very good once you know the bosses well.

i think you're forgetting how bullshit sekiro was. most of the early bosses are not in arenas but rather in camps filled with enemies that you have to clear. if you die too much everyone in the world gets aids and you can't use vendors and get some quests. in silksong you can sprint faster than any enemy and just jump over their heads.

Act 3

>>720730307
Wanderer ended up mogging everything. I initially believed reaper would be my companion but i just got so mad and reverted to basic hollow knight gameplay, the short reach wasn't a problem at all. I first/two timed every boss fight after I switched to wanderer and stuck with it. And once I found the longnail upgrade I vocally exclaimed "we are so back", it felt like cheesing. I absolutely hated the rare sections where the game would force you to use the hunter crest or when you were locked out of your moveset when finding a new one. Seriously fuck that troon shit

As a huge metroidvania fan, the following keeps it from being a GOAT tier metroidvania:
1. pacing, the difficulty is too hard at the start to ease into the game, and it's too easy once you get kitted out.
2. zones are less interesting than hollow knight, especially once you hit act 2/3 and everything is just a variation on "lol it's a hallway," or "lol it's a dusty service tunnel with cobwebs xD."
3. just less soul than the original regarding characters and bosses. Other than the short music playing girl, all of the characters are fucking bland.
4. the removal of charms was fucking retarded, the new system is worse
5. there is almost nothing to find in exploration, why do bosses not at least drop rosaries? There's nothing more fucking retarded than going out of your way and finding a bundle of shards or rosaries, that shit is like a giant middle finger


The game is great but it's not a GOAT imo. It certainly doesn't brush shoulders with rabi-ribi.

I wonder by what metric you use to judge the quality of an opinion. Disliking the runbacks for Last Judge and Bilewater are both just opinions that are capable of being contested by a basic contradiction. I'd say that art in general but especially interactive art like video games is about the subjective experience over any material objective analysis.

Why does every enemy fly? This is dumb.

>>720732158

>>720731973
whiteward was fine, it's an abandoned medical facility so there should be little to no enemies
wisp thicket was short but i don't want more of 2 damage unkillable homing enemies that also explode and aoe for a while

I switched to a meme-y architect build the first chance I got. Charge attack hits like a truck and is ACTUALLY useful for a change. Stacked that with the tool that sets your needle on fire, longclaw and the poison for a gigantic, burning, poisonous drill.

Charge attacks giving no silk charge hurt though.
This game is full of questionable balance decisions. Whats the point in giving us a charge attack or a crest like witch if you're just going to give them debilitating drawbacks that nerf the playstyle into the dirt?

>>720733232
Or you know.... just add difficulty setting so that the current bosses actually worth to something? And cut half of the world because holy shit 90%+ of the game is just walking around.

Well Rabi-Ribi is much more of a boss and exploration oriented game. It's flawless in those two regards. It falls short on graphics and art design (heavily so for normies who don't like the deceptive H style). The map design and boss design are both 11/10 though. You are constantly finding meaningful power ups too, so there's a point to actually go off the beaten path.

I just got beat act 3, hornet didn't say shaw one time. Game fucking sucks.

Why is the Bilewater fighting room such ass. I mean, I don't think the devs could have tried to make a more anti-fun area. The run back is outrageous and boring even if you get the 2nd bench. Every enemy is a faggot flying piece of shit that stays out of your range at all times and floods the screen with danger so you can not make any moves or mistakes. Even with upgrades they take too many fucking hits to kill even the "weak" ones. Aids water that forces you to either play perfectly at every moment (impossible) or not be able to heal yourself.

The enter game is so viciously non-challenging. All the enemies are easy, bosses are easy, and so on. It's all the other shit you have to put up with that sucks the life out of the game. Run backs are tedious, not being able to heal is tedious, enemies that purposefully stay out of your range is tedious. The arena being too fucking small with hazards on 90% of all surfaces is tedious.

The entire game is a test of patience rather than skill. It's so weird coming from Hollow Knight which is fun and fair all the way through while SilkSong is a torture experience and not a game.

God damn it, this took over an hour, genuinely thought it was beyond my skill level, but I somehow got into the flow and beat her. With no heals or charms. I even fumbled phase 1 and took damage, but somehow still won.

Doesn't she attack the Knight despite him showing her zero aggression in their first encounter? I know the rematch is her testing your skills before the King's Crest but she really didn't have to jump him for no reason in the city.

The entire shard system is so ass, whats the point of consuming shards if the tool is already limited by uses before before having to craft in a bench.
All it does is limit you while exploring and having to think thrice before using them in a boss- died? Too bad -100 shards for you.

>>720734412
Gives you a chance of completely negating damage just like carefree song in Hollow Knight

>>720722553
>one journalist and his manager decides about it
damn, really reflects the actual state

>>720733949
The only meaningful nerf is all environmental damage is now 1 mask instead of 2, except for lava because the magma bell tool already exists to counter it.

Moorwing now has slightly less hp, but you genuinely won't notice.
Sister Splinter's minions now hit for 1 mask instead of 2 which actually makes sense as they're small flying enemies.

>>720734412
Just use it.

I get the impression it's so that they had something for enemies to drop that wasn't rosaries to keep the player's supply low. Which is an ass decision in its own right but I digress.

>>720734490
It's trash system don't think about it. Farm rosaries in Act 2 and buy shards

>>720734442
I read about it in another thread. Gonna find it by myself. It's just the first area that feel genuinely hard venturing into too hard territory with shit capable of jumping at you from below to throw you into the poison.

She's not a thief. In fact, one of the characters she's most hostile to is the thief. And she still doesn't steal from him.

One of the best fights. Better fought needle only.

>>720734490
Ask FromSoft why they did this in Sekiro, Team Cherry just blindly copied this mechanic along with the coin purse (rosary string) stuff.

>>720734190
You just dont get it do you? You fundamentally don't understand it. It is easy to dodge all of the enemies moves separately and fight/kill them in a vacuum. The only reason it is challenging is because of the shit they put you through. The maggot water prevents you from healing, so you must play extremely cautiously or perfectly. Having tiny platforms that you must juggle between forces you to make choices like jump this way or that, but when you jump this way or that, the flying enemies are in your way with little control of what or where you can go. If you avoid one attack you're already in line with 2-3 other attacks that you can not avoid at all. If you do get hit you are more than likely taking 2 damage; good fucking luck if you already had low HP, have maggot debuff, or whatever else.

I mean I don't need to describe every aspect of it, you know exactly what I'm talking about. It isn't that the individual enemy or boss is the hard part, it's all tedious annoying shit that is what makes it not hard, not fun, and not a real challenge.

If I asked you to make a 4 tier cake, that might be pretty hard right? Even if you're an experienced baker. If I asked you to make a 4 tier cake while I throw glass all over the floor and shoot you with a gun, that isn't a challenge. It's just stupid. That's the entire silksong experience - stupidity, tedium.

Reaper + Cogfly + Spike + poison for me.
Nyleth was fun, she was the last one I slain and now I'm trying to get everything before the grand finale

>>720733321
there is an easy way to fix this
just make a buyable talisman that reduce incoming damage to 1
if you want to make it "journalist" mode, add a "reduce healing incantation" effect
steel soul aside, i dont think this game should have a difficulty setting tho, but 2 damage in normal mode can be pretty hard for new/young gamer

His dialogue too when you Needolin made it seem like he'd kill Mergwin and you'd fight him.

>>720733949
They didn't even nerf the majority of it. Splinter sister's minions now do 1 instead of two and same for the worms and gears. They aren't going to just kill everything that does two damage because Hornet's heal is far better than the knights

Why is the Pinstress allowed to levitate out of range of my attacks? I was expecting a sword fight, not a teleport spam and kiting. Harpoon is essential for chasing down that wimpy bitch. Wish Hornet killed her ass.

...The most gimped heal in the game?

>>720734490
Because tools are broken as fuck. I don't understand how you run out of shards anyway when you get 400 for just walking through an area

what bro, you don't like it bobbing and weaving and reading your inputs?

>>720735125
How is the heal gimped? It does an insane amount of damage along with having good range

>>720734848
You lose your heal and it's replaced by a slow and short range life drain. Half the time you try to heal you're just going to take contact damage

>>720735074
Bro, your cogflies?? They trivialize this shit.

>>720735074
Literally just hit his bell back at him. But considering you somehow used all of your tools, you're probably just using them on every single enemy instead of when the situation calls for it

>>720734848
dangerous heal that doesn't heal fully unless used on a healthy enemy
