Madman modder takes one of Silksong's worst bosses and makes them even harder: 'This is seriously mucked up'
https://www.pcgamer.com/games/action/madman-modder-takes-one-of-silksongs-worst-bosses-and-makes-them-even-harder-this-is-seriously-mucked-up/
I thought Team Cherry was evil for making me fight a boss as annoying as the Savage Beastfly in the first few hours of Hollow Knight: Silksong, but now I'm thankful for its restraint. The Savage Beastfly could've been worse. A lot worse. And one modder with a far more malicious imagination than the developers stepped in to make that a reality.
NexusMods user JngoCreates calls their creation "Mucked Beastfly", and it's essentially the same flying bug we all hate combined with the nasty effects of an area we all hate too.
Mucked Beastfly is what happens if you let the Savage Beastfly hang out in Bilewater, the maggot-infested swamp I would've preferred to never think about again. In the room where you normally fight Groal—an already notoriously hard boss—will be a vile version of the Savage Beastfly with new attacks that can infect Hornet, preventing her from being able to heal.
Groal is nice enough to leave you a few sturdy platforms to safely land on during the fight. Not the Mucked Beastfly. There are platforms in the boss room but they sink into the pool of maggots after standing on them for a few seconds. JngoCreates also made sure to keep the Savage Beastfly's worst trait and has it call for backup. But it isn't just any random bugs that join the fray, it's the poison-spitting flies from the area right above Bilewater.
And that's just the fight itself. The runback is equally horrible. It's the exact same series of rooms you have to survive to get back to Groal. Have fun getting chased by poisonous enemies while dashing over maggots and avoiding spike traps to have another attempt at a boss capable of deleting you in a few seconds.

Unreal mastermind Cliff Bleszinski really likes this fan-made Redux remaster: 'Time for a new generation to learn that Unreal isn't just an engine'
https://www.pcgamer.com/games/fps/unreal-mastermind-cliff-bleszinski-really-likes-this-fan-made-redux-remaster-time-for-a-new-generation-to-learn-that-unreal-isnt-just-an-engine/
Unreal Redux, an in-development remake of the classic FPS Unreal, is not an official Epic Games project, but it does have the official thumbs-up from one very important person: Original Unreal designer Cliff Bleszinski, who said on X that it "looks SO COOL."
(We don't normally do the all-caps thing, but Cliff's enthusiasm is contagious.)
"My last words when I left Epic were "Please remaster the original Unreal" and, well, the fans are doing it," Bleszinski wrote in reaction to the new Unreal Redux autumn 2025 trailer. "Looks SO COOL. Time for a new generation to learn that Unreal isn't just an engine. Worked my butt off on this game."
