I didn't grow up on the NES, in fact I really am not super big on older games. By blending old aesthetics and tropes with new mechanics and stylings, SHOVEL KNIGHT is fun for new and old sensibilities.

You will feel like back in the 90's with this purchase. It has all the elements of the retro games. Great manual and soundtrack.

This was a birthday gift for my son which was purchased because it was on his list of PS4 games that he was interested in. I am not sure if he has played the game, but he was happy to receive it!

Shovel Knight is a great platformer. The difficulty curve when progressing is very well done and creates a gratifying play experience.

Do you like Mega Man games? Do you like the Ducktales game for Nintendo? If so, you'll enjoy this.
A classic 8Bit callback with plenty of replayability and challenges. Great music, fun mechanics, and content for a low cost

This game will take you back to the olden 8 and 16 bit days in the best way. For better or worse, it's hard as nails. The challenge is welcome, but I find this game even harder than the Souls series, but every bit as fun.

A lot of the enjoyment you get out of this game will depend on how old you are. If you like old 8-bit side scrollers, then you should probably pick this up.
