I'm as capable at 2D platforming and combat as I am at actual jumping and feats of arms: There's a lot of flailing involved and it's unpleasant for anyone watching. So while I expected Silksong to kick my ass, the Hollow Knight sequel has proven itself surprisingly brutal even for those who've beaten Team Cherry's previous work.
Thankfully, those of us playing on PC have the tools at hand to redraw the line between "challenging" and "excruciating" in a more comfortable position. If Silksong's expecting more from you than you want to give, here's a pair of mods that can soften some of the sharpest pain points.
