I hope Silksong has a difficulty slider.
Looking at the trailer gameplay we know it is going to have way more mechanics than hollow knight. And thus the boss fights are gonna be like 5x more complicated. I just want them to have some sort of option to make the bosses a bit eaiser (we sort of alr have the hard mode version with steel soul but a hard mode could 100% be implemented is we implement an easy mode.) because a lot of people lose interest in hollow knight because it is too difficult for them. I was at one point one of those but I picked up the game later and began enjoying the fightd when I started getting better.
It could be done by making the bosses attack slower, reducing boss health, reducing silk (is that wahat we are calling it?) cost for abilities and maybe making respawns a bit more forgiving. Some of the hollow knight nearest benches are FAR.
There is probably a lot of nuance I am missing to this such as balancing this so feel free to give your own opinions and I'll chime in if I have anythign to say.
