Many fans of Silksong are expressing attachment to the game’s original release version, particularly after the deployment of a major update that has made changes some consider unfavorable. Team Cherry’s recent patch, often referred to as the first significant one, has left fans lamenting the removal of specific techniques that helped define their gameplay experience.

For example, the “float override” technique allowed players to hover momentarily in mid-air by simultaneously pressing jump and down after acquiring the Faydown Cloak. This technique has been removed entirely in the latest update, leading to outcries among the community, especially on platforms like Discord and Reddit.

A player noted the following: “Boo for the removal of float override,” and another expressed disappointment with, “REALLY disappointed by the float override removal.”

While some players adapt to the updated gameplay, a significant number remain dedicated to the original experience, preferring the higher difficulty levels it presented. A number of fans have taken to discussions on social media regarding their resolve to stick with the initial patch of Silksong, proving that nostalgia can hold a powerful sway in gaming communities.
