Unforgettable: Cogwork Dancers

As I slowly work my way through Hollow Knight: Silksong, I find myself having a love/hate relationship with the game.  There are lots of good moments, sure, but there are also plenty of very, very annoying ones that test my patience to the limits.  I especially loathe every time I get stuck on yet another…

Viewfinder is One Terrific, Trippy Trip

In my post about Keeper, I made mention of my 2026 resolution to play new games on Sundays. This intention actually goes back to last summer, when I resolved to start clearing out my backlog, at least a little. With a glut of too many games to play over the holidays, I returned to this…
