I 100% the game and got the true ending. Silksong was worth the wait. Absolutely fantastic in every way to the point where it feels like I'm stealing because of how cheap the game is.

The game is tough so it's not for everyone, but if you're ready for a challenge it's basically a 10/10. Easy choice for my GOTY.

My only nitpicks with the game are mostly some balance issues:

  • Act 1 is pretty difficult and you don't have much build variety. It takes a while to get crests & tools that really make a difference in how you play. Many of the best tools are so late-game that you don't get any opportunity to use them at all, though Team Cherry confirmed content updates in the future so maybe they'll be usable then.
  • Half the tools you can equip are pretty useless. I think some buffs for them go a long way.
  • The balance on some mid-late game fights are a bit wack. Some important bosses feel weirdly easy while random no-name ones can wreck you. For example the final boss in act 2 is weirdly easy compared to the ones that came previously. I hope TC can balance things up a bit so the difficulty curve makes more sense.

That's pretty much it. What a game, man.
