Thankyou for taking the time reply and explain, and I do agree with your philosphy of not having the dodge to be the prioritiezed way of evading damage, its used to oftent in games where you can practically just move away from the attack rather than pressing a button to evade it at the right time. Personally regarding the ranking system, I cant just ignore it man, If I dont at least get a B or an A Im not satisfied necessary or not, but overall looking back maybe I judged this game rather too quickly, I feel as though the hardships of the best games is always having to get into grips with the things that make it special. I'll give this another go.
Viewing post in Couldnt get into this very much sorry
You know, that last question is a trap; if you say you liked the snappy speed burst, that's all well and good, it was also good in Silksong. But if you basically say you want to phase through everything rather than understand how the attacks work and maneuver around them, he's going to say "git gud", albeit in a much more polite manner.
