How can i explain the minimum a 70 usd game should deliver without saying "different of pokemon we have voice acting and actual cutscenes" to put in perspective the craziness of big game prices.

Pokemon is a big name that everyone knows and can be used as reference, you can still like both though.

But how can i explain you how nice the combat feels in a quick way that is not "imagine pokemon but your moves matter and you can switch your team like a chef switching knives"

And you know what? I think it IS okay to compare pokemon with digimon.

Not in a way of "you must pick one or the other" but in a way of... that is the common ground we share with the most people.

I know the community became super sour with the comparasions bc it pushes away more than it attracts

I'm even starting to care about the human digimon, he is quite cool!

And everytime i see the digiworld, my god, it is digimon world 1-3 but in 3D. I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED THIS!!

I feel like it has RPG flaws that make me roll my eyes but it is made with. so. much. love.

I super recommend the game.

The boss battles feel challenging.
I gotta organise and prepare my team.
Switching between my options is fun and fluid.

Not to compare, but i wish pokemon's battles felt more like this. I WANT to pick the effective move, feel its power, AND MY OPPONENT STILL BE STANDING!

AND YET WITH ALL THIS (which mostly are like normal JRPG experiences i believe)
I'M STILL HAVING ✨ FUN ✨

I want to say it is just digimon cope but no, i'm legit, having such a good time with this game!!

- The streamer girl is a lot cooler than the girl you gotta walk around with
- Hate that sometimes you finish quest of the day and then you gotta go to bed and have morning cutscene of next quest before being able to go do what you want to do outside the main house

- Operator please shut up i know the world is ending
- I hate when i have a cutscene, am told to explore, walk 2 steps in an empty hallway and get hit with another cutscene
- I wish my digimon were special rather than scout group to the real protagonist

it is weird that if you ask me i can make a list of things i don't like in the new digimon game
- The joke about my anime outfit stoped being funny the second time
- Some quests annoy me with how little interaction there is. Collect the cogwheel, take 2 steps and put it in the hole right next to it

i will say tho, even if you ignore the enemies it is still quite finger exhausting with the amount of inputs

Kory @koryvali.bsky.social · 3d

funny enough i didn't respect any of the enemies in that runback adsfasdf

i kept running and jumping and dashing around them like they weren't even there so i never understand how people had so much problem with that runback

Kory @koryvali.bsky.social · 3d

I get very upset at bosses with cutscenes you can't skip even on your 10th time, bc that is just waste of time, repetitive waste of time that doesn't teach anything.

The runbacks i feel they *teach* you what keeps getting you killed, or at least they teach how to think out of the box

Even the section in bilewater that i complain about was what made me realise the best way to deal with the guys in the arena is to just poggo.

The whole game feels like a giant and well crafted puzzle, with flaws of course, but still a well crafted one

Stop, observe, learn, chew and taste your food rather than running right back in and punching the knife over and over.
There is an enemy in the way that forces you to wait? Maybe if you are more pacient agains the boss it will give better results.

Kory @koryvali.bsky.social · 3d

Like, sure i understand you want to get back to the boss, sure i know it sucks to do all the runback and then get hit by secret attack and back you go.
But people try to chew on their food too quickly and learning the runback can actively help you in the difficult fight.

Kory @koryvali.bsky.social · 3d

I feel like i enjoy the runbacks bc i enjoy the game movement. Getting an excuse to do more jumps and dashes and look for a way to go through a room quicker? hell yeah love that
I do agree some can get exhausting (bilewater is the prime example)
But my complain is more about when people don't try.

and it is not like i can predict them, they appear at random, so sometimes i'm just sprinting and jumping and a dude hops out of the water and smacks me when they didn't do it the previous time

Kory @koryvali.bsky.social · 3d

I liked the gauntlet, you can stick to the walls and poggo on the enemies to kill them and cleanse yourself and most of my problem with Groal was that i didn't want to get near him asdfsdf
I only find annoying the room right before the boss room, the very long one, enemies jumping right on my face

Kory @koryvali.bsky.social · 3d

Also i do NOT want to hear "I know i can explore and come back to the boss later but i still felt like i didn't get stronger at all" if you use ONLY ONE of the crests

This one i will be an asshole and say "buhuuuh the big bad boss is making you explore out of your comfort zone???? 😢😢"

Next time you go "this game is fucking with me" try to find what you are missing
If you are not finding it, MAKE your way to fuck with the game

Go into the boss arena and spam tools. Jump around enemies. Bounce on spikes. Find a sweet spot in the arena.

Let your anger FUEL you, not make you quit

My top 2 tips for anyone struggling with silksong are:
Take a break when necessary and work smarter not harder.

There is gotta be a bench somewhere, there is gotta be enemies you can ignore, there is gotta be a special spot you can parkour around

This game is incredibly well planned.

The bilewater runback is the only one i do consider quite the frustrating task. The hall way with random enemies jumping in your way is very dumb, but i don't mind the bad water and enemy fight in the arena bc they basically give you silk to clean yourself anyway
