Hello and welcome back to our regular feature where we write a little bit about some of the games we’ve been playing. This week, predictably, we’ve been playing Hollow Knight Silksong. How could we not? It’s an historic event in video games. It broke various gaming stores. But that’s not all we’ve been playing, I promise.
What have you been playing?

Yes, yes, I’m sure Silksong will be wonderful as soon as I’m awake enough to make any meaningful progress, but for now, No Man’s Sky continues to hold me in its grip. Partly, that’s because its recent ship-building update continues to be utterly captivating (even if my creations are still nowhere near as good as this lot), but also because the excavation grind required to amass a good mix of customisation components is exactly the right kind of monotonous for those evenings when you just want to look at something pretty and disengage your brain.
