Silksong playtester says bosses were way harder before release

Difficulty and Hollow Knight: Silksong are practically synonymous at this point. The game is so challenging that Team Cherry had to quickly drop a patch that made aspects of the game more approachable, and popular mods often focus on ways to make the game easier. Subsequent patches have arguably made Silksonga little less grueling for players. Even now, though, Silksong remains a fundamentally frustrating experience. Yet according to one playtester, the launch-day version of the game was already Silksong's proverbial easy mode.
