With Hollow Knight: Silksong’s huge launch in full swing, community debate about its qualities and flaws has gone back and forth, with some players insisting their criticisms about things like the game's difficulty are valid and shouldn’t be instantly dismissed as "hate."
Yeah the game’s definitely harder than HK was, but by no means impossible. It’s not nearly as difficult as say Elden Ring for a recent-ish example. The true ending final boss didn’t even take me as many tries as Last Judge or that frog fucker lmao
None of the runbacks are egregious either. There’s just about always a bench barely 30-40 seconds away at absolute most.

Groal’s runback is egregious. Even if you find the closest bench.
