I occasionally write longform things at fistfulofopinions.wordpress.com

I upload pics of my WoL at https://www.pixiv.net/en/users/121168755
Pinned
Well, while that was going on my friend @dapandabanda.bsky.social drew my WoL again, check it out
yeah one of the biggest issues I had with hollow knight's combat is that I think very few enemies really *needed* anything more than just jumping and your basic attack

you really have to use everything in silksong

I've even found using the cloak to stall in the air for a second to be really useful

you feel so fucking strong when you learn a bosses patterns and can just mulch them
December 26, 2025 at 7:05 PM
Its cool how bosses can kill their own adds
December 26, 2025 at 6:46 PM
they really make you go awhile before you get any needle upgrades, huh

Another thing that feels really improved in Skong is parrying

feels both a lot more responsive and a lot more practical
December 26, 2025 at 5:46 PM
Can I just say that the souls thing of "you have to talk to npcs multiple times" is incredibly silly
December 26, 2025 at 5:39 PM
Its like kinda of funny how every like cash shop glam outfit in FFXIV just genuinely doesn't look better or measurably different from the stuff you can get in game
December 26, 2025 at 5:17 PM
Whet the fuck is this AAA mario thing
December 26, 2025 at 4:54 PM
got to shellwood in skong, feels like a good stopping point for the day
December 26, 2025 at 7:56 AM
the ffxiv ddos conspiracy posting is getting crazy
December 26, 2025 at 4:18 AM
That said this does not feel anywhere near hard enough to warrant hand-wringing about accessibility

I think a lot of this stuff comes from "I have to dislike the popular thing" contrarians.
December 26, 2025 at 2:53 AM
yeah Silksong is definitely way harder than the first one, but I consider that a good thing

normal enemies actually putting up a fight is a good thing
December 26, 2025 at 2:38 AM
I do feel like the areas in silkdong are a lot more linear, though I don't think that's a bad thing
December 26, 2025 at 1:07 AM
Fought the Fourth Chorus and yeah boss fights are massively improved over the original
December 26, 2025 at 12:33 AM
The like sword pogo thing you could do in hollow knight always felt like an optional think that offered some like niche benefits, but the divekick in skong feels much more integral to combat
December 26, 2025 at 12:13 AM
a platformer lives or dies based on how much sauce the main character has
December 25, 2025 at 10:57 PM
yeah silksong basically addresses everything I didn't like about the first game
December 25, 2025 at 10:08 PM
okay Silksong starts off way more interesting
December 25, 2025 at 8:56 PM
I played 20 hours of hollow knight and never found the hunter's journal, hopefully I don't do the same here
