I know this cover is weird and off-putting, but it's also one of my favourites. To me, the swapping of Scott Free and Orion as babies is the core of the New Gods. It's biblical. It's Shakespearean. It's epic. Kirby was amazing.

I think I'm done with Silksong. I want to love this game and explore its environments, but it's too deliberately infuriating. Hollow Knight was difficult but perfectly tuned and it made me WANT to get better at it. Silksong just makes me want to uninstall it. I leave every play session resentful.
