However with the release of a native PS5 version of Hollow Knight, I probably won\u2019t be able to stop myself from diving into Hallownest yet again. This\u2019ll only be my 4th playthrough, the most recent of which was just before Silksong launched. You can never have too much Hollow Knight, can you?<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Stephen_Tailby\"><\/span>Stephen Tailby<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been playing Split Fiction again, this time with my partner. Not that I didn&#8217;t enjoy playing it with Aaron for the review, of course. It&#8217;s so much fun to go through; just a constant joy with all its varied mechanics, all delivered pretty impeccably.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>That&#8217;s what&#8217;s occupying our staff members and freelancers&#8217; time this weekend, but what have you got to play?
