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

I got Shovel Knight, and well, it's really good. I know most of you are waiting for it to go on sale but its definitely worth fifteen US dollars.

Shovel Knight is a rare case of an indie game that didnt do the retro indie poo poo for the sake of being retro and indie, and instead just made a good game because they wanted to.

What's the best weapon and armor?

So far I only have the most expensive of each because I saved up assuming they would own.

The shovel that shoots the spark seems underwhelming and getting a super attack for doing 2x down air attacks also seems kind of "weak".

I don't own shovel knight because 15 dollars is more than I can afford to spend on video games until I find a job. Unemployment loving sucks, there's so many games I want to buy but can't

Better than being completely broke and being hounded by bill collectors because your unemployment barely covers rent.

game starts with female character dying for male pathos and that is far too problematic for me

the weapon enhancements stack so there's no selection you just get a better and better shovel

armors are a matter of taste really, although the sorcerer's mail is nice since the invuln relic is op and it lets you use that more.

all of you who wear non-golden armor, reevaluate yourselves and your life choices

This is a fun game. Polar Knight's level was kind of uninspired with the conventional "ice makes moving slightly stupid" gimmick, but they implemented it well. The boss fight was also fun and unique. I'm on the tower level now and it's really fun and also ball-breakingly hard.
