If there’s one place in Silksong I’ve learned to simultaneously adore and despise, it’s the Putrified Ducts. I mean, just look at this place — it’s the kind of sewer that makes you want to move back to the cozy Moss Grotto and knit sweaters forever. But trust me, you do not want to skip it. Hidden behind layers of bile, dangling tentacles, and the most annoying...

There exists a certain breed of automobile that renders discussion of “cool” entirely redundant. The 1950 Oldsmobile Futuramic Series 88 Club Sedan, particularly one cloaked in unapologetic black and hiding a mountainous big-block V8, belongs to that elite category. This is not a car that asks for attention; it simply takes it, idling with the kind of brooding confidence that turns...

I still remember the moment it clicked. Not during a frantic boss fight or while navigating some impossible platforming gauntlet, but in a quiet, decaying corridor deep within the Citadel. The air was thick with something older than rot. It hummed with a dreadful curiosity—the same kind I last felt while wandering Yharnam’s abandoned wards. That’s when I knew: Hollow Knight:...

In a medium overflowing with world-ending threats and cosmic-level tantrums, the one thing a video game protagonist absolutely cannot afford is a quitter's mentality. Whether they're a battle-hardened angel, a kleptomaniac with a conscience, or literally the son of the underworld's crankiest CEO, the characters that stick with us long after the credits roll share a single, glorious trait: an...

While the original Hollow Knight was no walk in the park, its sequel has proven to be a punishing gauntlet that has left many players torn between exhilaration and outright frustration. Now, Team Cherry has broken a long-held silence to discuss...

Deep within the forgotten bowels of Pharloom, where light fears to tread and silence reigns supreme, a dark secret slumbered. Hornet had heard whispers—fragmented tales spun by frightened bugs—of a creature so dangerous it was locked away beyond the reach of even the most zealous jailers. They called it the First Sinner. Few had ever seen its prison, and fewer still had returned to...

In the sprawling world of Hollow Knight: Silksong, Hornet's journey is littered with mysteries, but few are as tightly locked away as the Trail's End quest. This secret side tale belongs to Shakra, the lanky cartographer who’s been selling maps to players since the beginning. Sure, she’s a bit of a recluse, but anyone who’s ever been lost in the twisted corridors of Pharloom...
