Hollow Knight: Silksong, one of the hottest games of the year with a reported five million players in its first week, didn’t launch on smartphones. But that won’t stop you from playing it on Android — because a new leap in Windows to Android emulation means you can easily install and run the Steam version on flagship phones like my …

Like its predecessor, Silksong allows players to refill some of their health after gathering enough silk by hitting enemies. But even this nod to forgiveness is relatively punishing, since the health refill freezes your character in a defenseless pose for a few seconds. There’s nothing quite so deflating as seeing an attempted health recharge get thwarted by an enemy lunging …

As Hollow Knight: Silksong once more raises the ugly discourse over gaming difficulty, there’s one aspect of the whole discussion that I think goes missed by people on every side: people play games for different reasons. It sounds stinkingly obvious, but there’s a nuance to this that I think is best summed up by believing or disbelieving the following statement: …

Hollow Knight Silksong‘s release has certainly been an interesting one. Having literally broken everything from Steam to the Xbox store, Team Cherry’s highly anticipated Metroidvania is finally out in the world, debuting to glowing player reviews (ours is still incoming). But as time has gone on and the ‘it’s finally out’ sparkle has worn off, some have started to really …

Atari’s decision to release its own Metroidvania game on the same day as Hollow Knight: Silksong appears to have seriously harmed its initial momentum. Adventure of Samsara is a modern reboot of Adventure, the 1980 action-adventure title credited as one of the most influential games of all time. The game, which is developed by Brazilian studio Ilex Games and published …

Hollow Knight: Silksong has only been out for a few days, but the game’s first update has already been announced with version 1.0.28470. It should be out soon on Nintendo’s consoles. Notably, adjustments will be included here. One upcoming change involves nerfing a couple of early game bosses to turn down the difficulty. Other adjustments and fixes are included as …

When Hollow Knight: Silksong announced its September 4 release date, other games ran for the hills. Indie titles like Demonschool, Baby Steps, and Little Witch in the Woods all picked up their skirts and dashed away into the depths of September to avoid trying to compete with the massive attention Team Cherry’s sequel was certain to receive. But not Atari. No, those brave folks …

Faydown Cloak Double Jump location If you manage to reach the summit of Mount Fay, you’ll see an altar that you can interact with. This causes a bird to swoop down, granting you the Faydown Cloak as a reward. This gives you the Double Jump ability. (And, yes, you can still glide/float, grapple, and pogo after doing a Double Jump.) …
