@ICISAZEL Hades and Dead Cells are not hard in the way this game is hard. The 'hard' in Hades and Dead Cells is well structured, fun difficulty. The "hard" in Silksong is meaningless artificial difficulty. Emphasis on MEANINGLESS ARTIFICIAL. To condense what I mean as much as possible, both Hades and Dead Cells respect you and your time way more than Silksong does. I'd give Hades and Dead Cells anywhere between a 9/10 and a 9.6/10 This game caps out at 8.4 at best, all for the sake of turning its back on things that could have enriched the experience without watering down the difficulty.

@Warioware Very well said. Props.

Logically explaining to your customers why your choice makes sense, and they should just cope with it. All I'm hearing (reading) is why I should never, ever buy another Team Cherry game in the first week of release, if at all.

Too many irritating aspects to this game. The boss fights are fine, but most of the rest is obnoxious. OG Hollow Knight is far more fun than this. I don't see myself replaying this game a single time once I beat it, if it doesn't offer a new game+ option with the chance to carry skills and weapon upgrades over.

@Lizuka Agreed. I'm not a fan of the try hard, no difficulty option mentality at all. The 3D Ninja Gaiden games are famed for their difficulty, but they offer enough difficulty options for anyone to see the story through. It also takes absolutely nothing away from the games.

@rvcolem1 Is Sister Splinter the white one that fights like a fencer?

@Yosti This game is more difficult than Hollow Knight by a long shot.

I don't care what greedy devs think. All I know is I'm getting Silksong this week. If you price your game too high, have too many people working on it, use the game to preach at me, or insert mechanics that trivialize my time, then that's not a me problem, it's a you problem.

massive w for Team Cherry

@Drago201 @DennisLofgren @LazyDaisy Y'all are right, my comment was made in ignorance; apparently, the game just barely hits 60fps on the Z1 Extreme, so it's not realistic to expect it to be 60fps on Switch 2.

I'm starting to think Nintendo really needs to make a program specifically for helping devs optimize the games being ported to it. Is the Switch 2 really not capable of 60fps for Remake Intergrade?

"We are not delaying"
Oh you sweet summer child.

Don't buy game key cards, and Nintendo will get the message.

Yep it was great. Wanted to see all the rangers though

@WhiteUmbrella There's still some common sense on this site, apparently. @PJOReilly I gotta say I'm disappointed with the blatant bias of your article.

Well, good news all around, then.

Quite interesting. Would have been even more interesting if it was Alex Olney doing it.

@PJOReilly I get the sense you had a lot of fun writing this article 💀

It's great to finally see the specs. Thanks, NintendoLife

@Samalik Thank you!! Holy crap is that your video? Amazing!! But what part of the gameplay was modded?

Playing DMC 5 myself right now so I'm very interested in what a remake of the oldest game would look like.

Well, just another Tuesday for Nintendo, I guess.

In other news..

@Spider-Kev Didn't really enjoy BOTW myself. I heard TOTK's open world is more busy and content-rich, so I might enjoy it.

I'm really glad to see Super Smash Bros. Ultimate so high up.

Ah yes. Because I will play a game for "detail" and "realism". Idiots.

Article could do with a healthy dose of neutrality.
"A horrendous D-Pad" - Very subjective, like all your other criticisms of the design.

@rjejr This is practically blasphemy. How could they still be free to start?

@Zerodogg Wow. Impressive tastes there. Respect!!

Of course it is. It's Ubisoft. What were you expecting?

Be careful what y'all say, gentlemen. Nintendo is suing people who breathe in too much oxygen next.

They say seeing is believing... I see the article, but I struggle to believe it exist.

@Toastmaster Yeah. The detachable controllers are a big draw after experiencing them on the Switch, and the FPS mode will mean I no longer need to shy away from shooter games, increasing my options : )

@Toastmaster

Steam Deck's only competitors are Legion Go, Rog Ally, MSI Claw, Aya Neo, Odin, Acer, Zotac, OneXplorer etc.

I agree with and am eyeing a Legion Go myself, but saying "only" and then mentioning all that much stuff just tickles my funny bone silly, haha.

@dartmonkey can someone give Damien McFerran a bonus!! The pictures in this article are out of this world!!!! ❤︎♥︎❤︎

I think there's a few very silly elements present when comparing the Switch 2 to the Steam Deck, even it is superior because;

1. Console life cycles are around 7/8 years, PC Handhelds are far shorter. Even when you factor in pricings, iterations of the same PC Handhelds are known to drive down the prices of the previous. The original ASUS ROG ALLY for example, has been driven down by the X iteration.

2. Nintendo has been around for ages, but the PC Handhelds are barely past being old enough to walk.

3. The PC library outlclasses Nintendo in variety, period. There is simply no debating this one.

4. Nintendo will never allow emulation and/or modding (case in point, article published today on the 17k lawsuit), placing it at a permanent disadvantage to those who resent being told what they can or cannot do on something they have paid for.

5. PC handhelds are mini-PCs with all the advantages that come with that simple fact.

There are more, but I'm done for now.

The Sorting Hat would've put this guy in Hufflepuff.

Human beings these days... Imagine defending a company for robbing you of possibilities so they can have a monopoly on your wallet. No wait, you don't have to imagine it.

@YAT Excellent point, well stated. Thanks for sharing.

@Anti-Matter I have something to thank Nintendo for now, because I was actually considering NSO.

I played the Demo and it was great, but it felt slightly off. Maybe it's the response time thing?

@SBandy1 Thanks for the info. I'll put both on my radar.

I hear that 6 is one of the best, if not the best in the series. Probably true.

@HeadPirate Very good points overall, thanks for sharing.

@AussieMcBucket Thanks.

Has this one got a demo?

@Anti-Matter Calm down. Pressing the C button without a subscription will just show you Alex Olney in a Spandex.

@ButterySmooth30FPS Thanks for mentioning the existence of a demo.

Genshin. Why am I not surprised.

How the vaunted Dragon Ninja bloodline has withered, Joe Hayabusa.

@Yalloo You're welcome 😏

@-wc- I gotta say I admire your level of patience.

Achievements are far more annoying than they are fun, in 91% of games. Glad Nintendo isn't adopting them...
