Silksong’s Difficulty Debate + The Gaming Duo’s First In-Person Episode!

This week on The Gaming Duo we’re doing something special: our very first in-person episode! Rob and Kelvin sit down face-to-face to talk games, industry news, and the stuff that matters to you, the gamers.

Kelvin beat Sword of the Sea and Hades, while Rob is deep into Hollow Knight: Silksong. With Team Cherry’s recent patch addressing balance and economy issues, we debate whether Silksong hits the right balance between challenge and accessibility, why the devs made it tougher (Hornet’s speed and toolkit), and whether dialing difficulty down changes the team’s creative vision.

We also spotlight overlooked 2025 releases that came and went, and break down the big news: Microsoft is raising Xbox console prices in the U.S. again.
