Donald’s Been Playing: Shovel Knight
A major complaint from gamers these days is how big budget titles have gotten “too easy.” Whether it’s the latest Call of Duty or Assassin’s Creed, developers today are more focused on providing adventure-esque narratives that can incorporate everyone into buying the title, without leaving anyone too frustrated from difficulty. This is in large part why retro gaming has remained popular throughout the decades, because titles released for the Nintendo Entertainment System, Sega Genesis or any other console in between provided both a challenge and an adventure for people to enjoy. This is clearly the era Shovel Knight is inspired from, as the title has both a fantastic retro adventure vibe to it, and a demanding difficulty that leaves the player feeling all the more enthralled.
