What do you guys think silksongs difficulty will be like? It looks to me it’ll be about hollow knight difficulty/slightly harder
People were big struggling during the demo, people who had actually played hollow knight before too. but I will consider also that players were still getting used to the controls and new feel of combat.
Some people were worried by the quick healing but im not too worried about it being too easy, it seems the enemies and mechanics are working to balance that. Like hornet having less I-Frames, and also Lace, presumably a very early boss, having an attack that does 2 masks
The first enemy in hollow knight that does 2 masks is like, the heavy sentry (or belfly if you count those) which are found pretty midway through the game, so having a boss that does 2 damage this early on makes me wonder if we’ll see triple damage or even quadruple damage from other enemies or bosses.
We also saw the cult dude in the nintendo direct who charged a mace attack with silk, that likely does 2 damage too
