EXP Podcast #783: Hallow Knight: Silksong Debrief
The Experience Points Podcast
Well, it's finally here: Silksong! This week we take a break from scrambling after beads and trying to understand just what type of creature Hornet is in order to share our thoughts on the game. I'd like to say that by the time you listen to this we'll likely have seen credits, but let's be honest: we'll be in the middle of a dastardly run-back to a boss that has a third form we have yet to see. What can you do though? That's just a bug's life.

With the summer is wrapping up, it's time to talk about a great crop of games we're squeezing in prior to the fall rush. We're still on our journey to spread the chiral network of course, but we've picked up genealogy and bike racing as well. We've also dusted off some old classics, although it seems that we still don't know what sort of animal Klonoa is after all these years. Maybe some fall semester zoology classes are in order.
