We kick things off with a glowing review of Hollow Knight: Silksong, and the verdict is clear... the wait was worth it. From its fluid combat to the hauntingly beautiful world design, Silksong delivers on every promise and sets a new standard for indie Metroidvania games. But the heart of the episode dives into a bigger question: Are modern video games too challenging? Sparked by the release of Silksong and the polarizing VGC review that stirred up the gaming community, we deep dive into the ongoing debate surrounding difficulty in gaming. We look at how challenging titles like Elden Ring, Sekiro, and Silksong shape the culture, whether difficulty enhances the experience or locks out casual players, and how accessibility fits into the conversation. Along the way, we unpack the “git gud” mentality, the role of challenge in game design, and what it means for the future of gaming. If you’re a fan of Hollow Knight, Soulsborne games, or just love a good debate about gaming culture, this episode is for you.
