The average is 5.5? I thought it was 4. This is very unsettling.

I don't even normally like platformers, but this is right up there with the new Rayman games in terms of level design, as well as sheer fun

a lot of the achievements are pretty bullshit, like "beat the game without dying, ever" so quite a while, if you're into that sort of stuff

i was able to get it by getting a 50 dollar card instead of a 35, which is more fair anyways because fionas game was 45.19 with tax so i got this, shin megami tensei 4 and colors 3D which she will also enjoy

You can say that about literally anything when you didn't pay attention to it before it came out.

It's a good game and it's much better than the other crap that tries to hit and misses I was skeptical too but it's good.

feh, this game didn't have 20 TV spots and huge IGN banners

clearly it's garbage and anybody that says otherwise is getting paid to be a viral marketer

Don't trust Games goons, but Imp Zone goons seem alright so far.

I was skeptical because goons hyped it up and it looked like NES Rouge Legacy but it actually is not total poo poo and rather good.

I didn't kickstart or preorder it. Saw a few gameplay videos a couple days before it released, and I'm really enjoying it. The thing that attracted me most was the combination dark souls + megaman vibe I got from it. Well pleased.

before this thread i had never heard of it.

a timeline of shovel knight purchaing:
some guy made this thread and i was all 'what is this?' so i went to the internet and typed in shjovel knight and it said did you mean shovel knight? so i clicked that instead and it took me to the steam page and then i saw a video and thouth thats not too bad, but not sure about £11.99 then saw it on gog.com for £8 and thought it was more accpetable and then bought it and then played it and really like it.

that is my story. the story of shovel knight and video games.

I didn't preorder it and I never do any kickstarters. I was made aware it was being created about a year ago and basically said "oh, that looks neat."

Then it came out and I got it because I like platformers and it turns out it owns super hard
