I was reading Dexerto and found out something really interesting! Team Cherry’s Ari Gibson and William Pellen were at the ACMI Game Worlds exhibit in Melbourne and chatted with the exhibit’s co-curator, Jini Maxwell, for a new book. Apparently, in this book – the ACMI Guide to Hollow Knight: Silksong – they explain *why* Silksong is going to be more challenging than the first Hollow Knight. And get this – it’s all down to Hornet! She’s the reason the game is harder, according to them.

The team behind the new James Bond game has experience with gunplay from their work on the Hitman series, but they’re approaching combat differently this time. According to gameplay director Andreas Krogh, Hitman encouraged players to avoid shooting whenever possible, making it challenging. For this new Bond game, they’ve designed the character to be comfortable and effective in gunfights, making ranged combat a strong option for players.

Okay, so UFO 50 totally blew my mind. It’s this crazy ambitious project – basically a collection of 50 fully playable, retro-style games, all linked together with sequels and this really cool, overarching story. I reviewed it last year and honestly, it ended up being one of my favorite games of the whole year. It’s just unlike anything I’ve ever played.
