In this episode of Pixelated Playgrounds, Bryan, Josh, and Clint finally arrive in Pharloom and dive deep into Hollow Knight: Silksong. We all fell in love with Hollow Knight when it launched in 2017 and even covered it on the show back in 2019, making Silksong a long-anticipated return. Team Cherry—Ari Gibson, William Pellen, and Jack Vine—have come a long way since the original Kickstarter, and Silksong's journey from planned DLC to full sequel reflects a uniquely protracted and unconventional development cycle. Just as notable is the team's decision to remain intentionally small, preserving creative control, efficiency, and passion while collaborating with key contributors like composer Christopher Larkin to elevate the experience.Silksong represents a major shift from its predecessor, most notably through Hornet, a fully voiced and evolving protagonist whose presence reshapes both narrative and gameplay. The game emphasizes speed, verticality, and tool-driven combat, with Pharloom's design flipping Hollow Knight's downward descent into a constant upward climb. We dig into the game's layered storytelling—Hornet's personal arc, the history of Pharloom and its people, and the larger cosmic forces at play—alongside its thematic focus on song, memory, and organized religion. Along the way, we debate difficulty, movement quirks, crest builds, boss design, and the shard system for tools. We also discuss Silksong's ambitious three-act structure, multiple endings, and whether it not only lives up to the original Hollow Knight. So join us as we close out the year exploring Team Cherry's world of bugs, beasts, beauty, and bosses.Three Word Reviews:Bryan - Smooth as SilkJosh - Flight in FightClint - Solid Send Off

In this final episode of 2025, Trevor and Jeff wrap up their year-long experiment: The "No New Games" Challenge. We break down whether we succeeded in clearing our backlogs or if we just stopped playing altogether. We also dive into the chaos of Christmas morning—from the quantity vs. quality gift debate to why one dad opted for a retro handheld emulator over a PS5. Plus, we discuss the "dark side" of kids' gaming in 2025, including why Robloxfinally got banned in the household, the surprising rise of Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) among teenagers, and why Chess is making a comeback. Whether you are a dad trying to manage screen time or a gamer staring at an intimidating Steam backlog, this episode is for you. Topics Covered: The Christmas Haul: Why we bought retro handhelds and "dumb" smartwatches instead of current-gen consoles. The Cookie Experiment: Why kids prefer 10 small gifts over one expensive one (Funko Pops vs. PS5). Kids Gaming Trends: The rise of Fortnite, the fall of Roblox, and the wholesome return of D&D and Chess. The Challenge Results: How replaying Elden Ring, Kingdom Come: Deliverance, and Hades 2 changed our gaming habits. Gaming Fatigue: Why having "no new games" was actually a relief for our anxiety.

"Every canvas is a journey all its own.” – Helen Frankenthaler Gaming host Ace dives deep into Constance, a hand-painted 2D Metroidvania that blends precise Celeste-like platforming with Hollow Knight-inspired exploration. We were provided a review key by the developers, but this is not a sponsored review all thoughts are honest and our own. Constance follows the journey of a paint-brush-wielding artist trapped in a decaying inner world shaped by her mental health. With striking hand-drawn visuals, fluid animation, tight movement mechanics, and emotional storytelling, Constance stands out as one of the most unique indie games of 2025.

Alex and Luke Talk Hollow Knight and Silksong.The duo dive into a Metroidvania double‑header: first the seminal Hollow Knight (Team Cherry, 2017) and then its long‑awaited sequel Hollow Knight: Silksong (Team Cherry, 2025). We unpack the evolution of the form — bug‑infested kingdoms, needle‑wielding protagonists, soaring difficulty curves — while comparing how the first game laid the groundwork and Silksong raised the bar (and the anguish). Two games, one legacy, endless edge‑of‑your‑seat platforming. Hollow Knight earned a Metacritic score of 87 on PC and 90 on Switch. HowLongToBeat estimates place a standard full play‑through around 27 hours (main story) and up to ~65 hours for completionists. Silksong debuted with a Metacritic score of 91 (PC), classified under “universal acclaim”. Play time estimates suggest around 40‑45 hours for a meaningful run, with full completion pushing closer to 60 hours+. All in all, two hefty games that demand stamina, precision, and a willingness to die… a lot.Alex tackled Hollow Knight on his Nintendo Switch OLED, while Luke jumped into Silksong on his Steam Deck. Luke's no stranger to the first game — he's beaten Hollow Knight before — but neither of them rolled credits this time around. Along the way they compare platform experiences, controller feel, and how each game's difficulty and structure landed differently for each of them.This episode is unofficially brought to you in part by bein' fat bs who can't stop eating the rest of our Halloween candy.Send us a Text Message!

What was Andy's favorite boss fight? Is it a per-requisite for Metroid 6 to have side content now? Could charms or a skill tree work in a Metroid game? Should Metroid 6 try and be as long as Silksong? And finally, what's Andy's take on the difficulty of the game - was it not accessible enough, or was this the right vision? All this, plus some Middle-Earth: The Podcast previews. Come hang out as we talk all things Silksong! Visit OmegaMetroid.com! Subscribe! Podbean x iTunes x Spotify x YouTube Support us on Patreon!

TEXT US YOUR THOUGHTS!Hosts **Tony Sisk** and **Jaime G** kick off the "video game fall season" by discussing two major new releases: the highly anticipated indie sequel **Hollow Knight: Silksong** and the AAA looter-shooter **Borderlands 4**. Jaime shares his enthusiastic impressions of **Silksong**, highlighting its six-year development history, its origins as an intended DLC for *Hollow Knight* that grew into a full standalone sequel, and its budget price point of $20. He praises its Metroidvania genre execution, comparing its difficulty to *Elden Ring*, noting the lack of a ramp-up for new players, and describing the protagonist Hornet's high mobility and fluid movement as a major gameplay addition. Tony offers his initial thoughts on **Borderlands 4**, which he picked up as a physical copy on launch day. He states that the game is **"very good"** and already **"easily" better than Borderlands 3**. Tony praises the narrative, specifically highlighting the **memorable NPC characters** and the investment in their stories, which he feels was lacking in the previous installment. The hosts note the interesting contrast between the highly-rated, budget indie title (**Silksong**) and the large-scale AAA release (**Borderlands 4**), setting up a future discussion comparing their reception and player count, especially on platforms like Steam.---## Show Notes**Podcast Title:** Good Game Radio**Topics:** Video Game Fall Season Kickoff, *Hollow Knight: Silksong* Release and Review, *Borderlands 4* Initial Impressions.###

The tubes are on fire. Or maybe they have been for a month. In a massive conspiracy turned reality, YouTubers found that they're views have dropped by half in the month of August due to YouTube's new features. Indie games don't know how to price themselves in the wake of Silksong's release. We got the Yoshi P interview round up covering all the teases and perhaps walkbacks on the upcoming job update. Blizzard continues to C&D classic plus private servers. Hollow Knight, Expedition 33 and more. Supportourbromance.com if you're a player who likes change, but also for everything to remain the same, with exciting changes on the horizon.
There are so many video games out right now, so we had a genius idea: an entire podcast exclusively focused on the video games we're playing. What a concept, right? Join Patrick, Janet, Chia, and special guest Renata Price as they work through a gauntlet of video games, including Despelote, Hades 2, Cronos: The New Dawn, Hollow Knight, Silksong (speculation), Rogue Prince of Persia, Labyrinth of the Demon King, Popucom, and, uh, probably others.Discussed: Hades 2 12:51, Hollow Knight 41:27, Despelote 52:26, Despelote Spoiilers 54:23, Chronos 1:09:51, Rogue Prince of Persia 1:52:05, Popucom 1:59:47, Labyrinth of the Demon King 2:16:02, The Question Bucket 2:25:47, Outro and Announcements 2:35:42See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
On this, the day of Silksong's release, it's time to go back to where it all began: Hollow Knight! The Triple Click gang talks about Team Cherry's 2017 action-adventure game, what makes it so special, and how it became a cultural phenomenon. Plus: they revisit Kotaku Splitscreen's 2018 interview with the developers of Hollow Knight.One More Thing:Kirk: Split FictionMaddy: Deep Cover (2025)Jason: The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of AgesLINKS:“Hornet” and “City of Tears” by Chris Larkin from the Hollow Knight OSTKirk's review of Hollow Knight: https://kotaku.com/hollow-knight-the-kotaku-review-1827367425A video of someone beating the Absolute Radiance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9rg8UBKtt1oExcerpts from Kirk's August 2018 Splitscreen interview with Team CherryJason's 2025 interview with Team CherryFolding Ideas on Silkposting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSkbylysplISupport Triple Click: http://maximumfun.org/joinAll-New Triple Click Merch!! https://maxfunstore.com/search?q=triple+click&options%5Bprefix%5D=lastJoin the Triple Click Discord: http://discord.gg/tripleclickpodTriple Click Ethics Policy: https://maximumfun.org/triple-click-ethics-policy/
