I don’t think Silksong is too difficult… I think players are just becoming more impatient and used to being handheld. Older games like Mega Man didn’t even have difficulty modes; it was all about patience, practice, and resiliency. The real issue isn’t the challenge itself, it’s that many players expect instant gratification. Developers shouldn’t have to alter their vision just to please a particular group. There are plenty of games made to be easier…but you don’t see people demanding a “hard mode” in Donkey Kong Bananza or similar titles. It’s a double standard. So if players want an easy game maybe don’t purchase Silksong and instead play some Kirby or Bananza.
First preorders? I’ve had mine preordered since 2018 back when Amazon offered 20% discounts for game preorders. Still have my preorder locked in at $48 USD.

Re: Talking Point: Is Hollow Knight: Silksong Too Difficult?
@Dalamar turn off automatic updates for your software… that’s what I’m doing.
You can still update games but you will need to manually check for updates.

That’s when Amazon used to offer 20% discounts for video game preorders.
