The Knight Witch is a witchcore Hollow Knight, with splashy combat and cosy characters
The Knight Witch deserves more attention than it’s getting. It’s a Metroidvania shmup in which you fly about, blast enemies with guns, and cast spells from a deck of cards. For all the bang and zip of the combat, it’s also deeply cosy, with lush 2D art and sweet character relationships in an underground post-apocalyptic world that’s still somehow filled with plants, rustic cabins and cute market stalls. There’s a free demo to play now.

Ghost Song review: a melancholy Metroidvania with a hint of Hollow Knight
Ghost Song is a 2D Metroid-like that’s always a feast for the eyes, but a frequent frustration for your head and hands. Its gorgeous art direction depicts a vibrant alien world that bubbles and throbs with bio-mechanical life, where spore clouds and fleshy organic tunnels live side by side with floating metal skulls and impenetrable thickets of wires and cables. It’s a fascinating place that seems to morph and change with every passing map segment, calling to mind the animated techno gunge of Akira and Metropolis one minute, and the flowering brilliance of Alex Garland’s Annihilation the next. Its roots sink deep, creating a world you’ll want to explore every last nook and cranny of as you delve deeper into its underbelly to find out why you’re here.
But Deadsuit, your android-like protagonist, makes for a slightly rusty-feeling companion at times, lacking the grace and elegance of Nintendo’s Samus Aran, and the nimble dexterity of Team Cherry’s nameless knight. It will tide you over until Silksong arrives, for sure, but it also never quite sings in the way you’d hope.
Sasquatch Decomposed Body Discovered in Huge Hollow Cedar Tree
A British Columbia logger describes an incident while felling a large cedar tree. The tree had a huge hollow cavity in which he found massive human-like bones, hair, and rawhide-like remains.
“My friend Dan called me and asked if I would come to his place to help him unload some gravel out of his truck. While we were unloading his truck an older stout man in his 60s pulled up into his driveway. Dan walked over and greeted the man. They walked over and he introduced me to the older fella as his brother Troy. After we unloaded the truck we went into Dan’s house and cracked open a few drinks. We talked for a couple hours and after a bottle of Glen Limit scotch, I broke the ice and told Troy about my experience with the Sasquatch. Dan tells Troy to tell me about his encounters.
Troy tells me he’s working for a logging contractor near Blue River, British Columbia in the Mantou area, about an hour and a half north of Blue River. Troy said he was at the bottom of this logging block where there was a huge cedar and that this tree had been 16 feet around to the butt. Troy then says he cleared all the brush around the tree before felling it. Then he bores into the cedar to see how hollow the tree was.
After about an hour of making the cuts with the chainsaw, he began to fall the monster cedar, which went down with a thundering crash. This tree exploded when it hit the ground. He walked up to the tree near the butt and said you could see into the huge hollow space. It was kind of like looking into a cave. Troy then says he thought he could see brownish-looking bones in the deep hollow. He first thought that this could be a food cache pit from a cougar or a bear. He crawled into the cedar and pulls out some of the bones. On further inspection, it looked like a human’s hip bone, and the next thing he pulled out shocked him. Troy said he pulled a huge arm bone with the hand attached. The hand was four times bigger than any human hand and the arm bone had to be as thick as the end of the base of a baseball bat.
He then called his boss down on the handheld radio. On further inspection of the bones, they found long hair and rawhide-like material stuck to some of the skeletal remains. They were dumbfounded. His supervisor said he needs to call the police as these looked like human remains. Troy said the bones were thicker and longer than any human remains that he had ever seen and the hair and rawhide material were a mystery. There was no decomposition smell, just the odor of cedar boughs. He also noted that the bush supervisor called the police just as the day was ending.
Provincial Conservation officers arrived. The workers were not allowed to go back to the site until a week later, just to get their equipment. They never logged that block. Troy also noted that when retrieving the logging gear there was a Conservation officer there with another contractor waiting to deactivate the road.
I asked Troy what he thought of it. He said he thinks this may have been where a Sasquatch died. I asked if there were any openings in the cedar or how we thought it could have got in there. He shrugged his shoulders as he cracked open another bottle of scotch. I asked Troy if he had any other strange encounters while working. He mentioned other accounts told to him by loggers, but nothing else had occurred with him.
Troy now carries a 4570 Marlin in his truck wherever he goes. He warned me that if I ever travel on the Hart Highway to carry protection. We had a good visit talking about Sasquatch and logging.”

Hollow Knight Silksong is coming… to PS4 and PS5
That’s right folks, the latest bit of Hollow Knight: Silksong news is here, confirming that it is definitely, absolutely, 100% coming to PS4 and PS5.
PlayStation itself confirmed the news earlier this week on its official Twitter account (September 16), writing “Sharpen your needles – confirming Hollow Knight: Silksong is coming to PS5 and PS4.” Of course, this being Silksong news, that’s about as far as the update stretches, but it is good to know that the game will be coming to a range of platforms at the very least.
Earlier this year at the Xbox and Bethesda Games Showcase, we got another snippet of Silksong gameplay, confirming that the game would also be coming to Xbox consoles, though didn’t specify which. It was also announced that the game would be on Game Pass day one though, a big win for subscribers to the service. But there’s been no mention of whether it will be available on any of the PlayStation Plus expanded tiers.
‘Hollow Knight: Silksong’ will come to the PS4 and PS5, eventually
Hollow Knight fans who tend to only play games on PlayStation can breathe a sigh of relief. The long-awaited sequel, Hollow Knight: Silksong, will be coming to PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. The game had already been confirmed for Nintendo Switch, Xbox, PC, Mac and Linux. Silksong is also coming to Xbox Game Pass, PC Game Pass and Xbox Cloud Gaming on its release day.
Only trouble is, we still don’t know exactly when that will be. Xbox indicated during its June showcase that Silksong would be out in the following year, so the release date will likely be sometime in the next nine months. Here’s hoping developer and publisher Team Cherry reveals that date very soon.
