But some achievements I know I'll find extremely unfun, so I'd rather play another game - or no game at all - than try and get them.

I had gotten it from an Amazon giveaway via GOG a while back, working with Heroic, but then there was an update - and there seems to be an ongoing issue with GOG updates freezing. I deleted and re-installed, but then had an issue with controller input and gave up.

The way the story wrapped up is fairly satisfying. I have many things I could nitpick about. Agree with a lot of what was said in the OP including that pacing is a big issue.

Introducing Duck Game to my sister's kids. Press B to quack.
Story moment: Bioshock's "Would you kindly?"
Challenging moment: Beating Celeste's 7C. I could say beating Farewell but I knew that there was still the moon berry to collect, and when I did that I felt more frustrated than euphoric. 7C sticks more to the core mechanics of the game, the backdrop is beautiful, and I just felt so locked in.
I feel like I would be remiss to not mention Magic: the Gathering, but it's harder for me to pick out a single memory. I'll go with the time my friends and I played our own format where we got to ban the winners' cards every week. One memorable game where a friend put together the Assault Swans combo and I was able to survive by plowing my own Centaur Healer.

spoilers
- lion head moving to scare Joanna
- the bucket of water interrupting Amy's song
- Kumail's fake-out from "public speaking" -> a bit containing public speaking -> jk, revealing his real browser history to Alex!
Also so funny how in the final task Greg kept hitting himself and Kumail kept hitting Armando...even after he was out lol

Technically still have the time cost of traveling there if I need a top-up haha. I didn't know you could hit the spa guy, he always ran away when I jumped. Didn't try very hard to get him though. Kinda moot cause benches refill my silk too now.
I have been using Dice, Belt, Longclaw, Multibinder for sure. Haven't found Quick Sling yet.
It didn't really occur to me to use clawline as an attack on bosses (just had it in my head as a platforming tool, and dash is so ingrained in muscle memory) until I watched a video of someone using it on the final boss.

DFGdanger (edited )Link ParentOK I guess I will expound on my thoughts about them now then. I believe that is probably true, but... I found presentation of information of exactly what the crests do is lacking in the game. So...Silksong's crests and tools open up a lot of flexibility between spell usage and healing
OK I guess I will expound on my thoughts about them now then. I believe that is probably true, but...
- I found presentation of information of exactly what the crests do is lacking in the game. So either you have to go check the wiki, or spend a while figuring things out.
- I felt that the game is difficult enough that I didn't want to handicap myself by altering a bunch of attack values. What little experimentation I did made me say "this just feels bad". If I committed more time to playing around with them in lower-risk environments I think I could gain value out of them...but it feels like stalling out momentum of a game that already takes a lot of time.
- When considering if I wanted to use a crest that's supposed to be better at spells I am still worried that I might use a spell to clear an enemy, then get confronted by a stronger enemy or gauntlet that deals me damage and I'll be unable to heal or deal needle damage as effectively. I'm worried an enemy will have a lot of health that a spell won't chew through and will require me to pummel it with needle strikes anyways, at which point why not take the crest that's good at that?
- I used a couple red tools here and there for different things. Your default crest gets 1 slot for them and can expand to 2. Wanderer has only 1 slot and I played that one the whole game for other benefits. The Threefold Pin was my staple until I got Cogfly then I rarely changed from them.
- The fact that you need to go to a bench to change out tools is a major deterrent for me to trying things out! So is being limited by a currency (shards). I only ever wanted to use red tools if I was having trouble beating something, not when they would be cool or fun to use.
- I didn't really know the silk regen mechanic well to be honest, just knew I normally was getting one little sliver to harpoon with once every couple seconds. But there's the yellow tool you mentioned and the silk hearts that I don't remember when I collected each one but don't know at what point I'd consider them useful enough for a spellcaster style.
- Experimenting with crests and playstyles sort of feels like a post-game or 2nd playthrough type of activity to me, because of all this. I will know what to expect, and not have to feel any anxiety about getting wiped, and be more inclined to spend time not directed towards getting to the end of the game.
- Tool slot expansions are locked per-crest, so it's hard to switch between a bunch of them knowing you're limited on slots.
Aside: getting the Witch crest and getting cursed was miserable.
There were a good amount of benches that cost Geo to unlock as well. Rosaries are a lot easier to come by than Geo, at least.
Consulting the wiki, only 4 in HK vs 10 in Silksong requiring money (edit: actually I'm not sure if it's 10 or if each in the list could be multiple in the area?), however 3/4 cost 150G which I did not remember and that is a bit nuts.
I used Wanderer's crest for basically the rest of the game after unlocking it pretty early on but I still messed around with a lot of the usable tools, you don't need Architect crest to get good value out of them.
Got any memorable scenarios you found different things useful? I wrote above how I mostly stuck to 2. I tried using some traps in gauntlets but they felt a little lackluster. I used the bombs (pimpillo) to 1-shot enemies when I was doing Delivery quests where you can't get hit too many times. I also had some success with Flintslate in a couple gauntlets and boss fights where I didn't feel like I needed to deal with enemies that shoot me from a distance and I could just whale on them.
poison cogflies
That's a pretty neat combo I didn't consider!
Have you tried chugging flea brew and just going apeshit
Haha nope but I will give it a shot. I did consider using Flintslate but didn't get around to it yet. It might not surprise you to hear I didn't play with flea brew much because it costs something to use and is even more of an annoyance to refill (and of course the 1 slot limitation of Wanderer crest! I would have tried things a lot more if I could put them in a second slot).

eugene-deex:
The game is amazing, I've completed this in one go. But 8 gb RAM for such game - is it a joke? :)Daivuk:
No I wrote that because that's pretty much what windows requires. Not the game itself. Also it was the lowest PC i had in my home that I tested it on. So I just wrote the specs for that PC.
What a bummer :(
