"Silksong released late last week on Xbox, PlayStation, Switch, and PC after nearly a decade of waiting. And first reactions to the sequel are almost entirely positive, with fans loving the small tweaks to the Hollow Knight formula and the larger size of its world. Plus, that $20 price tag is nice in an era when everything is more expensive than ever."
"If we hop over to Silksong's mods hub over at NexusMods, a popular PC modding site, you can see there are already 60+ mods available for the recently released platformer. And many of the most popular mods available for the game make it much easier to play. The most popular mods for Silksong include one that adds health meters to enemies, another one that stops enemies from doing double damage to the player, and one that shows the player's position on the map at all times. All of these mods have over 15,000 downloads. An automapping mod has 9,000 downloads. Another free PC mod that increases how much damage players deal to enemies has over 7,000 downloads."
"In fact, the only mod more popular than all of these mods that make Silksong easier is the mod needed to run any of these other creations. That mod, "BepInEx 5 with Configuration Manager," has over 28,000 downloads as of September 8. That's a lot of downloads for a game that's barely been out a week."
Silksong launched on Xbox, PlayStation, Switch, and PC after nearly a decade and received largely positive reactions for tweaks and a larger world at a $20 price. The game is challenging, with many players saying it may be harder than the original Hollow Knight. PC players are turning to mods to reduce difficulty and add conveniences. NexusMods hosts more than 60 Silksong mods, including enemy health meters, prevention of double damage, persistent map position, automapping, and damage-increase options. Several mods have thousands of downloads and the BepInEx mod loader exceeds 28,000 downloads.
