Explaining Why Silksong Needs an Easy Difficulty Level

A friend nonchalantly wrote to me, ‘Heard there’s a new game out, everyone is going crazy about it? I want to get it for my Switch 2.’ This friend values storytelling but is completely indifferent to challenging games like Dark Souls and similar sequels. Naturally, I understood why he was intrigued by Silksong. The upcoming game, being the sequel to the critically acclaimed Hollow Knight, is highly anticipated not only for its atmospheric world and engaging plot but also for its gameplay. The developers have stated that one of the reasons why a relatively easier difficulty level is being considered for Silksong is to make the game more accessible to players of all skill levels.
