What we've been playing - the fabled Hollow Knight, the much-anticipated Bloodlines 2, and more


What have you been playing this week?

I collected Bonestone, I popped off various goblins and bats, I burrowed my way underneath enemies to spring up excitingly from behind and I negotiated perilous pits, all while bopping along to a gloriously retro-infused soundtrack. But more than that, it's just a fun ride, and - as it slowly starts to subvert expectations, taking its slasher tropes and character archetypes to unexpected places - far smarter than I originally gave it credit for. I love its musical themes and catchy tunes, and those brightly coloured worlds are a joy to just smash through - I've barely progressed at all as instead I just lay waste to entire levels hunting out those bananas.
