Me after beating ::: spoiler a specific boss Savage Beastfly for the 2nd time ::: only to immediately lose all my rosaries in ::: spoiler hard location Sinner's Road ::: and then spending the next 3 hours barely failing to ::: spoiler complete hard wish quest deliver the courier's rasher on time ::: 

The 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.

It’s got the bloodborne blood vial issue with having the grind for crafting materials if you get stuck and use them all. Definitely could use a cost nerf for the tools and not every attack from a boss shouldn’t do two or three damage.

It's right in the difficulty sweet spot for me despite not being as into games (at the age of 40) as I used to be generally. It's like it was made for me!!

You’re describing the horrid souls-like experience embraced by every gamer in these times. It’s unpopular to dislike being annoyed and frustrated with your game, didn’t you hear?
