Dustin Spencer from Capsule Computers writes :"Remember when you had to blow the dust out of your cartridges? That wonderful 8-bit music? Even if you were born after the NES-era, developers have been trying to emulate the charms and quality that the late 80's/early 90's brought us for years now. We have received retro platformers, RPGs, and so on, and while many are great, nearly every title aside from a very select few have been so absolutely full of nods and cheesy jokes that make you forget that you are actually trying to enjoy the game and relive it all, thrusting the player right back into today's world and into what feels like a cheap Youtube video. Yacht Club Games are the new kid on the block (made from a team that was formally with WayForward), and are ready to change the way we think about the past by delivering a lovely little title by the name of Shovel Knight. Is Shovel Knight able to dig up something fresh with that older look attached, or is this another case of a ho-hum experience?"
These are some of the greatest games similar to Blasphemous to play while waiting for the much-anticipated Blasphemous 2.
The all-new Everyone is Here Again Bundle packs roguelikes Risk of Rain 2, Dead Cells, and more. All told, you will get all five games for 51 percent off their normal prices.
Gamespot spoke with Yacht Club about the latest Shovel Knight game, Dig, as well as his many other cameos and spin-offs.
