I have 99 hrs and 31 minutes for 100%, lol; didn't have that much trouble with any of the bosses (except the very last one), but I was slowly exploring, hitting every wall, trying different builds, and so on. Literally think it's just a play style thing?

Silksong hour counts always surprise me. It's a challenging game, for sure, but I got the first ending in about 18 hours (and wrapped everything in under 30). I'm no pro gamer and I'm guessing some Hollow Knight muscle memory kicked in, but I really don't understand how people are doubling or tripling my fairly average time.

Elden Ring has a Stake of Marika next to most boss doors, which makes you respawn right there, so even Miyazaki has moved away from long / brutal run backs
