In terms of a finale to the original Shovel Knight, this game pulls out all the stops. They have the biggest setpieces, the biggest bosses, and a whole Triple Triad style card game. I guess I just think that, when they kept trying to top themselves, they also kept trying to top the difficulty and there are some parts in this campaign that are downright annoying. Also I hated Joustus but your mileage may vary, I did not like Triple Triad either.
