Hollow Knight: Silksong sicko laughs in the face of the difficulty discourse, completes the metroidvania without taking a single hit because "it did not seem that bad"

Hollow Knight: Silksong.

While some are still trying to complete Hollow Knight: Silksong, others have already beaten some absolutely ridiculous challenge runs, which now includes a no hit run.

I don't need to tell you that Hollow Knight: Silksong is tough, it's become the difficulty discourse game of 2025 with its steep difficulty spike compared to the original game, thanks to a mixture of a far faster combat system, brutal boss fights, and the arc of your default dive kick being really tough to get the hang of, making platforming even harder too. I bought the game at launch and still haven't beaten it… granted I played 10 minutes of it before waiting for a time I can face a long metroidvania, but I'm hardly the only person who hasn't beaten the game yet.
