Me after beating
a specific boss
Savage Beastfly for the 2nd timeonly to immediately lose all my rosaries in
hard location
Sinner's Roadand then spending the next 3 hours barely failing to
complete hard wish quest
deliver the courier's rasher on timeThe high points of the game are very good. The low points ruin it, in my opinion. I get that frustration might be fun for some people, but I find it discouraging and I don't feel like Silksong wants me to be successful. It feels like it wants me to feel frustrated and angry, and that's not an experience I want to have. I doubt I'll finish the game, which sucks, because I loved Hollow Knight, and I love the parts of Silksong that aren't just making me mad.
Maybe mods could be a solution to this?
It really wouldn't take much. Just some accessibility options to address some of the most punishing mechanics would do it. Would be great if mods solved this.
Several Soulslikes I’ve played have hidden in accessibility options things like not hitting you for falling into a pit, or not taking resources when you die.
I had a fantastic moment with this in Another Crab’s Treasure; I was doing some platforming when Krill glitched off the geometry and fell, killing me in the process. When I respawned, I knew I had tons of microplastics (souls) out there I wanted to save, but also felt frustrated because it wasn’t my fault I died - just bad game coding, as many games have. Plus, the odd positioning meant I might not be able to reach the death spot.
Instead, I just went to Accessibility and recovered them that one time; the game was nice enough not to even invalidate any achievements from the brief use.
