By 2026, I had heard every horror story about Silksong's Cogwork Core. White Palace? Path of Pain? Cute little warm-ups. Pharloom apparently looked at those and said, 'Hold my silk.' The upper Cogwork Core is a v...
Hollow Knight: Silksong: The Underworks Guide to Not Getting Steam-Cooked
As of 2026, the Underworks remains one of Hollow Knight: Silksong's most charmingly hostile detours. After the Last Judge finally stops being a nightmare and the Grand Gate swings open, the game whispers sweet promises about the Citadel....
By 2026, Hollow Knight: Silksong is no longer the new kid on the block, but it remains one of the most talked-about Metroidvanias on the market. Team Cherry's sequel built up enormous expectations over six years, and it has delivered the goods on every platform. Steam's built-in analytics told a loud story around launch, with roughly half a million players diving in at once, and the game is sti...
SINNER’S ROAD — I’ve been re-running Silksong’s grimmer side routes in 2026, and the bench in Sinner’s Road remains one of the game’s most delightfully petty obstacles. It takes Rosaries, it pretends to work, and then it just... stops. As a player, I respect the hustle. As Hornet, I want my rest. So I went back in, paid the fee, and mapped the repair route again for anyone who has hit the same...
In the crowded ecosystem of Hollow Knight: Silksong quests, My Missing Brother is a rare specimen: a follow-up that swaps grand curses and needle-sharpening errands for a simple, anxious search. Tipp, the courier rescued duri...
By 2026, Hollow Knight: Silksong has settled into a peculiar reputation: a sequel that expands nearly every dimension of its predecessor while preserving the sharp, unforgiving edge that made the original memorable. Its map is larger, its base game content more expansive, and its nonlinear structure ensures that two players can spend the same handful of hours moving in opposite directions—one s...
Silksong's The Slab is one of those areas that players do not choose so much as stumble into after a very bad encounter. In 2026, the prison still works the same way: Hornet gets kidnapped in Deep Docks, wakes up without her cloak, needle, tools, and equipment, and must claw her way back to freedom. The detour is nasty, but it is also memorable. The Slab mixes scripted capture, trap-heavy platf...
I have spent much of 2026 scrolling through classifieds for performance cars that still make sense, and the 2004 Jaguar XJR keeps pulling me back. On paper, it sounds like a fantasy: a supercharged V8 luxury sedan, an aluminum body, rear-wheel drive, and a 0–60 mph time that can embarrass a modern Mustang or Toyota Supra, all for the price of a used economy car. In the real world, though, the X...
Hollow Knight: Silksong has been handing out humble pie by the plateful since launch, and players are still reeling from its punishing platforming, savage early-game bosses, and the general sense that Pharloom wakes up every morning looking for new ways to ruin your day. But the community has now discovered a betrayal so petty, so perfectly cruel, that it has become the stuff of instant legend:...
