Silksong's Runbacks are Good, Actually

What if I told you a LIKE the runbacks in Hollow Knight: Silksong, and I think they're actually important to the function of the game's mechanics? And no, it's NOT just because of the corpse run mechanic; Silksong would be a lesser game if you could just respawn outside of the boss room, and hopefully this video will do a decent job explaining why. And if you aren't convinced, I'd love to hear why!
