Let me be real with you: Hollow Knight: Silksong does not mess around. Between the unforgiving combat and those brutal platforming stretches, Team Cherry has absolutely kept the “git gud” energy alive in 2026. But here’s the good news — the game gives you tools that can seriously tip the odds in your favor. One of the earliest and most satisfying offensive pickups...

I’ve been tearing through Hollow Knight: Silksong in 2026, and I’ve got to say—Volt Filament is one of those tools that is easy to overlook but absolutely worth the detour. It’s an Act 3 tool, so you can’t grab it in the early game even if you’re feeling like a speedrunner on a hot streak. You need a specific ability first, and you need to know exactly where...

Since arriving on October 10, 2025, Little Nightmares 3 has settled into 2026's horror landscape as one of the most distinctive co-op puzzle-platformers of the generation. Developed in partnership with Supermassive Games and published by Bandai Namco Europe, the game casts players as Low and Alone, two small figures navigating the nightmarish world of the Nowhere. In a recent interview,...

I have spent dozens of hours wandering through Pharloom in Hollow Knight: Silksong, and one of the strangest items I have picked up is the Rosary Cannon. At first I thought Tools would be a minor part of Hornet's kit, but once you upgrade a few of them, they can deal real damage. The Rosary Cannon is not necessarily a practical choice, but it is absolutely entertaining. It works like a little...

I have made peace with a simple truth: I am not a gifted Hollow Knight: Silksong player. The original Hollow Knight already reduced me to a frustrated pile of broken focus, particularly during my dozens of failed attempts against the Traitor Lord. Now that I am deep into Silksong in 2026, the story repeats itself. I have collected a truly embarrassing number of silly deaths, lost more rosary...

If the secret entrance near Grand Gate has already introduced players to Seth the bouncer, then Nyleth is the botanical headliner who waits backstage with a grudge and an unreasonable amount of pollen. By 2026, the Hollow Knight: Silksong community has pretty much mapped every petal of this memory boss, and the verdict is in: Nyleth is the easiest of the three Old Heart bosses—once...

I have a confession to make: I cannot pogo. Not consistently, anyway. After 30 hours of Hollow Knight, after crawling through Deepnest’s nightmare tunnels, after turning the Mantis Lords into chitin confetti, and after spending so much Geo that the shopkeepers probably have a group chat about me, I still whiff the single most reliable damage technique in the game. It’s embarrassing....

The gaming world got a loud warning recently when Hollow Knight: Silksong finally arrived after six years of near-mythical anticipation. Digital storefronts buckled almost immediately. Steam, Xbox Game Pass, the Nintendo Switch eShop, and the PlayStation Store all experienced enough pressure to keep some buyers waiting for hours. For anyone watching closely, that chaotic rollout looked like a...

I’ll be upfront: in 2026, Hollow Knight: Silksong has brought back all the complaints players had about the original Hollow Knight. It’s too difficult. The runbacks take too long. There’s too much backtracking. I still haven’t played Silksong because I’m stubbornly finishing the first Hollow Knight, so I have no hot takes on any of that—yet. But if...

Let’s be real for a second: I’ve lost count of how many times I got absolutely flattened in Hollow Knight: Silksong because I skipped a few upgrades. If you’re like me and you don’t want to spend the entire game rolling back to a bench with one sliver of health, you need to grab those Mask Shards. They’re basically little pieces of Hornet’s life bar, and...
