Shovel Knight review: an ageless wonder

The classics are often considered classics for a good reason. There's something simplistic and beautiful about the old-school 8-bit age of gaming, encapsulating just why we both love (and hate) games so much. No genre grasps this dichotomy quite like the 80s platformer. It's easy to see Yacht Club Games' affinity for a bygone era. Shovel Knight practically bathes in its retro NES-era aesthetic, as evidenced by its look, its music, and its simple-to-explain story. But more than that, the developer fully understands what made those old-school games so appealing to begin with. By embracing certain aspects of classic platformers, while thankfully doing away with others, Shovel Knight emerges as a fantastic effort, regardless of the time period.
