Le retro indie platformer with NES-style presentation is an extremely overdone trope today, and that's thanks to Shovel Knight perfecting it back in 2014. Gameplay is as good as the old school kings of the genre, the artstyle is not used as a crutch for lack of talent like some of it's contemporaries, and four separate campaigns plus (an admittedly underwhelming but technically fine) PvP mode makes this about as good as it possibly could be.
