which is harder?

[Zakoos]

this? or hollow knight? i wanted to play the three games (skul-hollow knight-dead cells) from easy to hard i thought the order was like.. (skul<hollow knight<dead cells) by difficulty but im starting to think this game is a bit harder than hollow knight at the beginning, what do you think?

Dead Cells harder than this? No way. This is much, much harder than Dead Cells, imo.

it takes like 5 hours to beat dead cells...5 hours...without dying...while this game takes around an hour but its also hard and if you're not that good you need to grind for dark crystals to make it easier, but there is no way this is harder than dead cells,

what im confused about is, is this easier or harder than hollow knight? i haven't played hollow knight in a long time so i forgot ._.

Doesn't matter. Look at how much Dead Cells lets you heal. It's insanely more forgiving. Skul demands much more perfection because your healing is so limited.

Also, wtf? 5 hours? More like an hour. Have you even beaten Dead Cells?

It takes 4 minutes or so to speedrun Dead Cells if you're good.

yeah but you need HELLA good rng plus you need to have unlocked some stuff already, i meant the difficulty early in the game

You said it takes 5 hours to finish a run in Dead Cells explicitly:

it takes like 5 hours to beat dead cells...5 hours...without dying...while this game takes around an hour

So you think with good RNG it takes 4 minutes, yet with average/bad RNG it takes 5 hours to speedrun? You see nothing wrong with that and how it's 100% implausible nonsense, 4 minutes vs 5 hours? You haven't even played Dead Cells as is obvious from:

my friend freaked out and stopped playing the switch version HE'S THE ONE THAT TOLD ME IT TAKES 5 HOURS TO SPEEDRUN THAT GAME SO I JUST THOUGHT THATS HARD AF

And yet you asserted with confidence:

but there is no way this is harder than dead cells,

The lesson to be learned here is to not make completely ignorant assertions.

ok sure whatever dude

Skul's nowhere near as hard as Dead Cells, which keeps making the game harder with each Stem Cell clear to the point where you can only refill your healing by buying it at a food shop.

It's not even a contest, Skul runs can be won 90% of the time when you have a decent idea of what you're doing.

A Dead Cells vanilla run is much easier than a Skul run. Getting first clear is much easier. Of course you can't compare if you stack tons of difficulty modifiers in the latter. Similarly I wouldn't compare a Slay the Spire Ascension 15 run to a vanilla (0 BC) Dead Cells run.

YO you were actually right...i finished dead cells in 39 minutes...ok skul is DEFINITELY harder than dead cells, but it still feels boringly grindy compared to to dead cells but that wasnt the real question so, guess ill just edit my difficulty opinion

i think the correct order is (hollow knight<dead cells<skul) skul is the hardest out of those three i guess

Ive never played dead cells, but this game is pretty easy. If you played an earlier build it would have probably been skul, but its gotten easier and easier with each update, and at this point it basically plays itself.
