It's definitely fair most of the time. There are one or two places I've seen so far where it's deliberately ramped up (or appears that way at first.)
Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong Sparks Debate About Difficulty and Boss Runbacks
loudwhisper@infosec.pub 1 day agoIf anything I find the walkbacks much shorter than in the original. There is always a bench 30s/1m away from each boss or tough platforming section. At least so far…

Yeah I am almost at the end of the act 1 (i think?) and so far the impression is that if something seems to have a long walk or having to repeat a hard parcour section, I didn’t find some hidden bench or shortcut to bypass said parcour section.
In general I can see this game being started as an expansion for HK, the difficulty is quite high and the curve steeper, but I can’t relate with most of the complains so far (the currency maybe a little, but it’s normal IMHO you can’t just shop everything at once from a new vendor you find).
Initially I was put off by the double damage, but the heal being short and x3 I think compensates for it (plus, you can do it mid air etc.).

the vastly increased traversal speed also helps mitigate the walkback tedium
