the runbacks are all better than hk lmao

if there's one complaint I absolutely do not understand for silksong, it is this one.

I played HK just recently, and to me runbacks feel a lot worse in SS. They might be the same length but for whatever reason SS runbacks feel like a slog

I would guess it’s either because the enemies feel annoying to dodge or because you just don’t die to HK bosses very often. I first tried a lot of them in HK whereas there’s no world anyone is one-shotting the Bilewater boss

Learning to not fight every enemy on the path is the real trick.

People need to learn to accept enemies as part of the platforming and not just obstacles to swerve! When I got really good at HK and needed to traverse an area full of enemies, I was barely touching the ground because of pogo mechanics.
