very good game. both the day and night stages were a lot of fun, though I prefer the day stages, going fast is fun and the day stages were really well designed. still though, the night stages were very enjoyable, especially once you get some of the later combos.

needing to collect medals was annoying, but it did give me an incentive to replay stages and get better at them.

the soundtrack is fantastic, one of my favourites (too bad the combat theme constantly interrupts the fantastic night music)

the game is a bit unpolished though. I wouldn't call it buggy, but there's definitely moments where it feels like something didn't entirely happen as intended, or where it feels like a section just wasn't tested that well.

really the type of game I wish was longer. what's there is so good, the level design is amazing, I love the escape sequences too, the music is fantastic, the combat's good (though not explored that much), the game's gorgeous, one of the best looking games I've seen, I love everything about this game, I just wish there was more.

big respect to the original dark souls for being so revolutionary, but the first game doesn't hold up that well in my opinion. maybe it's because I started with dark souls 3, but I just didn't like the combat or bosses that much. they weren't bad, just not outstanding. also, the level design later in the game got awful at times.

it's got better atmosphere than any future fromsoft game though.

best shovel knight "game" (since they're technically all the same game).

king knight's moveset probably allows for the best level design out of any of the playable knights, the shorter levels work really well, and it's also got more content than the other "games", I think.

really good 2d platformer, really love this game.

except the last level, not the type of difficulty I enjoy, with a bunch of long segments you have to get really good at. but it's only the last level, so I don't mind. you can play everything up to the final level and still have a fantastic time.

never played a final fantasy game before, but I really enjoyed this.

idk I don't have much else to say, it was just really good.

just a really, REALLY good 2d platformer.

tbh, not a huge open world guy, I think I'd have preferred a traditional zelda, but it's still really good, and I respect them for taking such a risk.

it's probably so high up because of nostalgia, but idc, I really love this game, still do when I replay it.

it's like world, but with a really good monster roster.
I wish there were more 4th gen monsters, but oh well.

fantastic gameplay, but the monster roster's not that great

I just don't care for these type of more sandbox collection type of games

not as good as country 2, but still really enjoyable

this game has aged REALLY well. aside from the visuals, this game feels like it could have been made just a few years ago.

also, it's really good.
