Died to first boss, back to start... Welp, I think it's not for me. Does look incredible but I guess movement is unlocked later and currently? Not feeling this restarting after I already fell few times on the way to the boss.

Queue in People saying skill issue or how my experience is wrong. But my 9 yo son also put the game down almost immediately because of it. I'm not good with these games. Thankfully it's on gamepass and I can just try it whenever. Is the entire game this sort of no checkpoint boss rush?

The thing with Silksong is that it is, in average, harder than its predecessor. The game is centered mostly around exploration, platforming and combat and bosses are a regular occurance.

I'd recommend trying out the original Hollow Knight and seeing whether you like the gameplay there or not, since it's a bit more forgiving.
