Dread it, run from it, difficulty discourse has officially taken hold of the Hollow Knight: Silksong playerbase, which can't seem to collectively decide whether Team Cherry has made things a bit too tricky or if everyone complaining just has a skill issue.
It didn't take long at all for Metroidvania enthusiasts to note that Silksong is "noticeably harder" than its predecessor, despite Team Cherry previously saying that "the difficulty also sits alongside" the original game. But how hard is too hard? Some think Silksong may have crossed a line.
