  • Shovel Knight is actually fantastic though. You have AAA industry vets failing to meet its standard. Hell, compare SK to Mighty No. 9. Even Megaman can’t make a megaman as good as that anymore. Plus it isn’t just Shovel Knight, it has the Plague Knight, Specter Knight, and King of Cards sequels which are all genuinely great retro platformers.

    No argument about DF though, and I still need to pick that up now that it has an actual UI.







  • The difference with D&D is that you’re not just controlling a character’s actions, you’re role playing AS that character. It’s one thing to be immersed in a game and be blasting enemies as Mio, it’s another to say “I’m going to head into town to get a fancy dress for the mayor’s banquet.” and have another person react with “Damn girl you really clean up good!”

    D&D is a low-pressure roleplaying exercise so you don’t have to worry about what people think about how you sound, how they perceive you, etc. It’s just a game after all. But if that feeling really clicks for you, you can pursue it further.
