#77. Shovel Knight (PC, 2014)
Yes, the word "implemented" was important!
Somehow a retro breath of fresh air kind of games keeps on remaining a breath of fresh air. Maybe one of the (key words) last great retro platformers to come out before maybe losing some luster, Shovel Knight was a quirky twist on your Mega Man and/or Mario 3 style- using obviously a shovel as your main attack, but picking up a bunch of special weapons along the way. Maybe I only say Mario 3 for the level select style, but thats fine.I find myself struggling of things to say other than it's just a game that's perfectly my alley and feels great. Having the Scrooge McDuck pogo bounce be a main traversal/enemy attack mechanic is one that is always desired for me in games. Adding the Dark Souls element too of when you die,youlose all your cash and need to go back to collect it works too. A lot of flavor in all the enemy boss knights, and the characters and mini-games you can interact with in the main town. And wow, has this game really exploded in its popularity. One day, I need to play all its DLCs, they seem really deep and nice and lore-y from what I can tell.



Up Next: The 4th movie to a fantastic trilogy.
