I 112%'d hollow knight this past winter and even beat the final patheon that's like 50 some bosses, although on that one only was the single mod I ever installed which was being able to save at benches because I was not going to try and do 50 in a row without dying lol.

But I did everything the game can offer, first time I've gone that far in it since it came out, and then immediately started silksong over again. I got into act 2 when the game came out and kinda fell off it. I didn't actually get stuck I think I just got distracted with other games

Anyway even after playing HK to death, yeah silksong is a lot harder. But I am at like 16 hours approaching act 3 whereas when I fell off it last year I was around 40, so that's worth something I guess. I'm not getting stuck as badly, but the game can be pretty punishing.

I've always played HK and metroidvanias with an 8bitdo sn30 pro, it just feels better with a D pad to me. Highly recommend it if you're looking for a better control feel than the steam deck. Although I did beat that crazy hard carnival boss on the switch handheld mode back in the day lol
