    268: Silksong, Time Flies
    Sep 16 2025

    Hollow Knight: Silksong is here! Join me as I recount my fraught and torrid journey through the kingdom of Pharloom. It's a wondrous place — immersive, vast, absorbing — but it's held within a game that's ruthlessly difficult, and trolls the player in a way that I've found difficult to enjoy.

    In the roundup: Time Flies, Lumines Remastered, Snakebyte Switch 2 accessories.

    267: Hollow Knight, Herdling
    Sep 1 2025

    Herdling is another vibey journey through a forlorn world from the young Okomotive studio. The shepherding gameplay is alternatively fun, clumsy, endearing, and frustrating, but overall, it’s a three-hour journey that is a must for indie game fans.

    In the roundup: Hollow Knight, and Silksong pre-game!
