Is Silksong as hard as Elden Ring?

Silksong is generally considered more difficult and unforgiving than Elden Ring due to its faster-paced, reflex-driven combat, limited character customization, and stricter, more linear upgrade system that punishes mistakes severely. Conversely, Elden Ring offers more ways to lower difficulty, such as leveling up, using spirits, and exploring to outgear challenges. Reddit +4

Silksong Is Like Elden Ring (but not in the way you think)

Why did it take 7 years to make Silksong?

Hollow Knight: Silksong took seven years to develop primarily because the small Team Cherry studio was enjoying the creative process, had no financial pressure to rush due to Hollow Knight's success, and the game's scope continually expanded as they added ambitious features and details, turning what started as DLC into a full sequel that grew larger than the original game. They focused on internal creativity and polishing, rather than external deadlines, allowing them to build a detailed, fun, and vast world at their own pace.

What's the hardest fight in Silksong?

#1 – Lost Lace

If you've played this game, you should not be surprised that this is #1. Lost Lace is the true end-of-game boss: it takes lace 2, the extreme speed, frequent teleports/dashes, and just goes wicked with it. She is corrupted by void, and thus has a few new void based attacks.

One, the runback for bosses can be a nightmare. Silksong has several long stretches between save benches and bosses where getting a second try at defeating them involves hard platforming and annoying enemy placement. I lost count of the times another attempt at a boss miscarried on the way.

What if you invested $1000 in Microsoft 10 years ago?
