Silksong Skill Floor
a month ago
I am at my limits with the game and am stuck at the apparent end of act 1. My reaction time is not enough to defeat this boss, and I am quite tired of being capped at 3hp (yes I already have the item that makes phase 2 a little less punishing). Even if you can heal an effective 1.5hp I am not able to get through without making less than 3 mistakes when the boss is constantly moving so quickly leading to easy accidental nudges for contact damage and the phase 2 attack windups often being too quick for me to handle. I know it is only going to get worse from here, there is so much more game left and I am already beyond the point of really enjoying it. So much I wanted to experience for myself but it is looking like that will not be possible. The skill floor is higher than what I am capable of and I am not sure what to do now
FA+

Learning combos? Reacting to telegraphs correctly? forget it
Feeling like I luck or bruteforce through many tho gave up quite a few times
Playing Psychonauts 2 rn and it has a few annoying areas, but it's not punishing so I can retry until success, so the game is very enjoyable
Psychonauts is lovely and I'm glad you're having a nice time with it. While he's long gone now, I wish you a lot of delicious milk uvu
The patch is out now, hopefully new ones help with this too
Thankfully team cherry seems to be realizing that they've went a little too balls to the walls with difficulty and have been nerfing certain bosses. Fingers crossed they do the act 1 final boss soon, I was stuck on her for multiple days myself so I know your pain.

Honestly I consider myself to be far above average (not a flex) and I still thought some bosses were quite unbalanced compared to Hollow Knight. Some fights really tired my eyes out (black attacks on black background, why) as well, and made it really hard to follow...
I beat the "super duper true final boss for real this time" today and it seriously tested my patience tbh
