scorp but reluctantly public

I will say I found the movement system incredibly satisfying to master, despite my other misgivings about the game I think TC absolutely nailed it, it was incredibly gratifying learning to master the diagonal pogo through the game

I played through Silksong with a handful of QoL mods- morseo in act 3, and I don't think I would've been bothered to finish the game without them- nothing that changes the difficulty of parkour, bosses or encounters, though

The first one I absolutely recommend- it is difficult, but not tedious or nearly as frustrating as I found Silksong. The original's world is inspiring and beautiful to explore, where much of Silksong's is just depressing and oppresive

the game is too difficult- not in the sense that it's hard, but in the sense that it's boring; you get sent back to the starts of areas for minor mistakes that are unavoidable to the average player. it's cathartic, yes, but I would absolutely not recommend it to most people

I have such mixed feelings about this game- such incredible highs and absolutely awful lows, a beautiful world and great combat system bogged down with tedious, artificial difficulty, I do not think I will ever play it again, but I am itching to run through the cosiness of the original after it

welp, that's that I guess- I did it, Silksong finished

four bosses left- tomorrow Nyleth & Crawfather, then just Karmelite and Lost Lace (god help me)

1/3 hearts collected
did the coral tower first so i don't have to do any more gauntlets in this fucking game

Ended up just fucking cheating at groal that fight was ass

made it to act 3

this just in: Hornet has a gun

Cogwork Dancers were awesome, I wish the game was more of this and less random enemy gauntlets

still thinking about 'RB - Parry'

I think Lace 1 and Phantom are up there as my favourite bosses, the 'fencing duel' style of bossfight feels so good for hornet, whereas some of the others feel pretty clunky i'll be honest

made it to act 2

bestie i think ur onto something

That was something I and Flo pushed for, so glad it's appreciated!

he does look pretty edible

cube projecting any image makes it funnier

still in silksong act 1 - the game is very flawed, but damn the metroidvania itch to fill out the map has hit properly hard

NMS please oh please give us humanoid characters 😭

I do kinda miss the charms system- it's less exciting to find tools than new charms, but i think the new system fits the sort of game silksong is better than charms would

took me a while to get into it but now i have the dash i think i have got the hollow knight bug (haha) again

silksong good

oh maybe add redone mouse controls to that too i hate the weird click-and-hold circle

my personal wishlist for NMS is
- redone primary gameplay loop with none of the busy work
- redone ship & foot movement
and then i think it would be one of my favourite games, but it's interesting how two relatively minor things can completely put me off

NMS is fascinating because there's a bunch of stuff to do, but the core of the gameplay is sitll exactly the same at launch, and that really puts me off

our salvation

dawn of the final hour

it's a shame the rest of No Man's Sky's vibe and gameplay doesn't really appeal to me, but damn it's impressive
