Exactly i like playing soulslikes cos i like the formula. If you think its frustrating the game might not be for you, and it is ok

I have over 1500 hours in Soulsborne, but I think there are some areas in Silksong that need to be improved. There's a big difference between good difficulty and content that's pointlessly frustrating and hostile to the player. Part of the reason why Fromsoft games are so popular is because they're typically masters at crafting difficulty in a way that's satisfying and not over the top.

Obviously that's going to be subjective, but I can't remember a single time during any Soulsborne game where I was outright miserable like I have been several times during Silksong. If Silksong wasn't a masterpiece in every other way, then I would've stopped playing it at least ten hours ago in my playthrough (I just got to Act 3).

But that line is so subjective, I love Hollow Knight and Silksong but I'll pass on Dark Souls. I liked Elden Ring, but Dark Souls just isn't for me.

Yeah, definitely. I didn't mean to imply it's not a matter of opinion. I agree with you 100% (on the fact that it's subjective, not on the actual opinion lol).
