Silksong: a missed opportunity?

Silksong's not my thing precisely because I can't stand frustration and so steer well clear of games that are purposefully punishing; to me nothing feels worse. 

I play games to relax, not to sweat.

I trend toward this as well, but there is something nice about overcoming a difficult challenge, as long as said challenge feels fair. For instance, when I beat Star Fox and Kung Fu on original hardware last year, both in separate play-throughs without any thought put into them other than for the purpose of wanting something to pass time, it was extremely exhilarating, and I had forgotten how good it felt.

Do you find yourself missing that sort of thing? I know I did.

Yeah I can enjoy a moderate challenge if it feels fair; Starfox is a fav of mine, and I did also love games like say the Monster Hunter series, the Ori games, etc that put up a good fight.

It's more when a game feels overwhelming that I just don't enjoy it any more, like when I find myself stuck and just banging my head against a wall without being able to progress.
