Hollow Knight: Silksong has many bosses and they’re all a pleasure to fight, except where Moorwing is concerned. Okay, perhaps Silksong’s Moorwing fight isn’t that bad, but fighting a disc-slinging bird who dives at you isn’t the most fun I’ve had on Hornet’s adventure so far. That’s for sure.

Curtains in the 90s, Pogs, and the trend fallacy - yes, this is a stealth Hollow Knight: Silksong article, sorry

Tom Orry — Tue, 09 Sep 2025 12:00:00 +0000

When I was at school, which is a disconcertingly long time ago, there was a period during which all the boys seemed to have a near-identical curtains haircut. I hated it. It was so common that it might as well have been part of the school dress code, and yet, I resisted. I've always been pretty good at doing my own thing, not falling into the trap of peer pressure and what I've just this second coined as "The trend fallacy". Just because everyone is doing something, doesn't mean it's right for you.

It's not just locked doors, imposing bosses, and top-tier traversal. It's a world, a sensation, a desperate and lonely feeling communicated through screen and pad.

From vanishingly small beginnings to power comparable to godhood, Hollow Knight isn't just a good game: it's one of the best ever made.
