In the City of Tears , a little way to the left of where the Pleasure House is located, there is a grate in the floor that leads to the Royal Waterways, possibly the creepiest of all the areas of Hallowne

When it comes to where and when to use an item in Hollow Knight , it can seem like The Knight is sometimes collecting random knick-knacks just for the sake of it, with some early game items not having a real use until closer to the end of the game. One of the more abundant items that have plenty of uses throughout the majority of the game is the Simple K

Goldman designed the boss’ look and named him after himself as a sort of memorial. Team Cherry was happy to work with Goldman, describing him as "a really cool young guy we were fortunate enough to meet and get to know." Team Cherry revealed Seth in a Reddit post teasing that he "guards a secret long forgotten and will attack any who stray too close", and "will fight until the very end, and beyond." Goldman got to see Seth in action before passing, "I saw some footage and he is amazing and fast." It was easy to read pride in another post where Goldman called Seth "a monst

There is one more option: cut those loses. Yes, sometimes a game just isn’t the one in which case two things will play out, either selling it back to the local game store or having to delete it off the hard drive and realize you get nothing back for purchasing said game. This is where a bit of tactic comes into how games are purchased. For ones that are sure to be a one and done, just buy it from the store/online and sell it back to that local game store where you get cash or credit towards that next game. Buying a one and done digitally knowing there is nothing in return if it’s not for you is just a bummer. Which is why I bought Vampyr physically; it’s easy to know I will play it once and feel good about it, and then it can go towards another game, continuing the cycle.

Have you found yourself listening to the Hollow Knight soundtrack thinking, "You know what would be awesome? If all the orchestral parts of this music were stripped out and arranged solely for piano." If you have, I have some very good news for you. Hollow Knight Piano Collections features piano arrangements of a selection of the game's sc

Amidst other preparations, Goldman’s father contacted The Marty Lyons Foundation (founded in 1982 by NY Jets Legend, Marty Lyons), a non-profit dedicated to realizing the wishes of children ages 3 to 17 diagnosed with terminal diseases. Krystal DeWitt Monroy, Director of Program Services, resolved to make Goldman’s Hollow Knight Lore Knight dream a reality. Monroy has coordinated several other gaming wishes before, and finds us a "wonderful, generous community". Corresponding directly with TheGamer.com via email, she describes Goldman as a special young man and she "was happy to have coordinated his wi

In a collaboration with Materia Collective and Team Cherry, Hollow Knight Piano Collections is an album with 15 tracks from the Hollow Knight Original Soundtrack . Originally composed by Christopher Larkin, this selection is arranged by David Peacock and performed by Augustine Mayuga entirely on piano. While they aren't exact recreations of the songs, they are faithful reinterpretations that do sound quite lovely. That is if the one track I heard is indicative of the entire product. Here is the full trackl

For most who play games, this feeling is completely understandable, unless you’re one of the few super-humans that can game for ludicrous amounts of time (looks at all streamers) then this happens to the best of us. It’s unfortunate when looking forward to a game only to be completely put off by it or feel disinterest in said game. No matter how bad you wanted to play it, it might just not be the time; a blockade. What does one do then? When having waited to buy ‘x’ game only to find disinterest; not everyone can afford games on a weekly basis and there's a massive selection to choose from. The first advice would be to tough it out. Maybe that game isn’t the one for now, but at least there are fallbacks until that moment of inspiration hits.

While looking forward to Silksong , Goldman learned that he had Ewing Sarcoma - an aggressive form of cancer that can metastasize from bone to lungs, spine, and other bones and soft tissues. Earlier this year Goldman’s caretakers informed him his case was terminal, with a prognosis of only a few more months to l

This happened to myself recently with two games that I greedily bought without a second thought — Vampyr and Hollow Knight when it released on Switch . Both games I was immensely looking forward to and with both I hit the same wall. No matter how often I tried playing, every attempt to pick up the controller was met with my mind split between disinterest and intrigue. It becomes hard to tell if the brain is responding in a Pavlovian way for the shiny new toy or there is actual enthusiasm buried under the loss of focus for both games. Luckily it was the latter. There are, of course, times where a game is just not for you, but it was a relief knowing it was just a matter of time.
