First off, PlayStation Plus subscribers on PS5 will be able to claim a free copy of Bugsnax . Bugsnax is a bizarre first-person game where players have to go around and capture creatures that are all based on food. Bugsnax 's strange premise and catchy theme song have helped it turn heads, and while some may have been hesitant to try the game if they had to pay for it, it being available for free on PS Plus means most PS5 owners have no reason not to give it a shot. PS Plus subscribers can claim Bugsnax for free from November 12 to January 4, 2021. The PS4 version of Bugsnax will not be a part of the PS Plus lineup in Novem

Seth Goldman loved Hollow Knight , a 2D action-platformer on Steam with "Overwhelmingly Positive" reviews, and a Metacritic "Must Play" on Nintendo Switch . Australian indie studio Team Cherry developed the surprise hit and Hollowknightportal.Com rewarded their fans with substantial direct contact on the creation of their second outing, Hollow Knight: Silkso

After Goldman’s death, his father sent Monroy an email (graciously shared with TheGamer.com) telling her, "Seth had a real dream come true" due to her work with Team Cherry. "He LOVED that game," he said, adding "Seth's soul lives on in a video game and in the hearts of all that knew h

In any case, the free PS Plus games for November 2020 set a clear precedent for how the program will be handled on the PS5. Bugsnax being available for two months seems to confirm that free PS Plus games on PS5 will sometimes be available for longer than just one month. We already know that Destruction AllStars will be free on PS Plus for two months beginning in February, though it's unclear what will the gap from January to Febru

The Hollow Knight subreddit poured out support and appreciation for Goldman and Team Cherry. The news of his passing saddened many, but said that in honor of him they would be thinking of Goldman every time they encountered Seth in game. Wish gran

Most good Metroidvanias thrive on satisfying players out of the mere act of exploration itself, and Hollow Knight is no exception to this golden rule. Exploring every nook and cranny of this intriguing world is a marvelous experience and something that no self-respecting fan of good Metroidvanias should miss out

Have you found yourself listening to the Hollow Knight soundtrack thinking, "You know what would be awesome? If all the orchestral parts of this music were stripped out and arranged solely for piano." If you have, I have some very good news for you. Hollow Knight Piano Collections features piano arrangements of a selection of the game's sc

Quick Slash can be found in the Kingdom's Edge area of the game, tucked away in a secret room behind a series of tough enemies. This Charm increases the rate at which you can swing with the nail, which has a variety of u

Hollow Knight brings to life the bug's-eye view of a foreboding, lush world illuminated by rich atmospheric lighting. The shadow-insect hybrid player character named Knight must run, jump, and fly through the Metroid -esque levels while fighting hordes of other stylized foes. In fact, a sword-and-board (pin-and-coin?) Silksong bug warrior will be one of four bosses, named...S

Amidst other preparations, Goldman’s father contacted The Marty Lyons Foundation (founded in 1982 by NY Jets Legend, Marty Lyons), a non-profit dedicated to realizing the wishes of children ages 3 to 17 diagnosed with terminal diseases. Krystal DeWitt Monroy, Director of Program Services, resolved to make Goldman’s Hollow Knight dream a reality. Monroy has coordinated several other gaming wishes before, and finds us a "wonderful, generous community". Corresponding directly with TheGamer.com via email, she describes Goldman as a special young man and she "was happy to have coordinated his wi

Goldman designed the boss’ look and named him after himself as a sort of memorial. Team Cherry was happy to work with Goldman, describing him as "a really cool young guy we were fortunate enough to meet and get to know." Team Cherry revealed Seth in a Reddit post teasing that he "guards a secret long forgotten and will attack any who stray too close", and "will fight until the very end, and beyond." Goldman got to see Seth in action before passing, "I saw some footage and he is amazing and fast." It was easy to read pride in another post where Goldman called Seth "a monst

The charm of Hollow Knight is something that has already been discussed in detail, and this charm is what makes most of the characters in Hollow Knight feel as fleshed out and endearing as can be. Interacting with any of the numerous NPCs present all across the world of Hollow Knight is always a highlight of the game, and adds moments of levity to an experience that is generally quite nerve-wrack

Monroy contacted Team Cherry and found them enthused to work with Goldman. Initially, all the young man wished for was a video conference with the creators of his favorite game. That one meeting turned into several and Team Cherry invited Goldman to make a custom NPC boss character in their under-development game Hollow Knight: Silkso
