All of Silksong’s top mods make the game easier, including a returning Hollow Knight QoL favorite: An always-on compass without wasting a tool slot

As with all big releases, Silksong’s launch was the starting gun for two gaming races: Modding and speedrunning.

RoadCraft introduces a free hard mode for all you SnowRunner sickos, adding limited fuel, more challenging convoy simulation and realistic gearboxes

RoadCraft proved a surprisingly controversial entry in Saber Interactive’s series of grungy vehicle sims after launching in May.
