Hollow Knight Silksong

I never played the first Hollow Knight game. So since I was looking to play something different, I bought into the hype and tried this one especially since it was only $20. So far I’m not dissatisfied with my purchase but I have hit a wall. I was told when getting stuck to just find another way to find other abilities but I’ve exhausted all paths it seems. This game is fun though so at least when I try again I’m having fun. The controls are smooth like butter. My main challenge is timing and reflexes.

A thought I’ve been coming to terms with when it comes to my lack of abilities with playing games is the fact that I have slower reflexes than most I feel. I’ve played games for most of my life and I feel that others I know who have played games for as long as me all gain speed in their reflexes from playing games and it is a continual progression from game to game where for me I feel like my reflexes restart with each game. There have been games that require decent reflex speed to master and those I’ve tried hundreds of times and said difficult parts. But here with things like catching enemies to bounce off of I just have the hardest time.

Like I said, I do enjoy Silksong. I thoroughly enjoy the dark vibe, the lore and atmosphere with the little backstory I’ve seen and most of all the music is breathtaking at times but stellar in general. I have much more interested in continuing to attempt this game over time but for now it’s what’s holding me over till Silent Hill f releases.
