Huge, well-crafted and as crazy as always D00D!
Overall not quite a ton of fun but still bananas. Just don't tell Donkey Kong.
Simple in concept and masterful in execution. A++ for N++.
A must for anyone who is into their fighting games and this is right up there with anything on the PS4
A fun distraction but little else
Summary – No lamp or wishes required, it’s already just about perfect.
Overall, Tengami is unashamedly the game it wants to be and there is little compromise to players that might not get it. For those looking for something different this could be the perfect game. It merges the concepts of art and video games and has created something unique. Yes it's short, but the fact we wanted more speaks volumes of the experience we had with it. There are things here that will make you smile and show you small moments of magic and for us that's more than enough.
Overall, Shovel Knight is a brilliant game. Everything is does it does well and everything works. It's balanced and challenging and constantly offers up new surprises. The controls work perfectly, the levels and enemies are well designed and there's a nice chunk of humour in there as well. This probably is it for the 8-bit retro styled platformer as to beat this would really take something. We tried and tried but it simply cannot be faulted. It's just a magnificent game.
