Hollow Knight rewards patience and learning. Most enemies and bosses have clear attack patterns. When you get hit, you'll usually have a safe zone or period where you can heal.
Except for Primal Aspids.

Silksong rewards having more patience and faster learning. A lot of the frustrating areas in Silksong actively deny you safe zones and periods. A lot of the frustrating enemies in Silksong will remind you of the Primal Aspids.
