The sequel's difficulty level has noticeably increased.
Players in the release version of Hollow Knight Silksong were met with many difficult challenges. Although the developers have made a number of balance adjustments, the Team Cherry project remains quite challenging.
However, the developers of Hollow Knight Silksong believe that their players will be able to cope with the challenges.
Ari Gibson shared his vision. He believes that players strive to interact with everything they see without detailed instructions — there is simply no need for it:
«The real world tends to underestimate players, especially young ones, and it certainly underestimates their ability to cope with difficulties, their ability to obtain information, to be interested and engaged. However, our players only need a little guidance, and that's enough. They will get involved, dig, and find everything they need».
