In furious sci-fi RTS Warfactory you have to manufacture every piece of your killer robot army

We factory sim perverts have all known the joy of combing a mile of conveyor belt tagliatelle for that one empty hopper or unplugged furnace that’s stalled the entire production line. Now, imagine that the stalled production line is producing plasma swords for your army of murder droids.

We may have glimpsed Silksong's Sea of Sorrow expansion in a six-year-old trailer

There won’t be any prizes for correctly guessing that Hollow Knight: Silksong’s first expansion, Sea of Sorrow, will involve a) a sea and b) some kind of adverse emotion.
