Weakest entry in the series but still quite enjoyable. I love when games ask the bold question: what if there was a stupid little card game? Joustus is kind of fun, but it's kind of like if Gwent was not as good. I suck total ass at it so I stopped engaging with it about 1/3 of the way through. The levels are much shorter in favor of adding lots of joustus content and several ways to traverse the overworld. They are still challenging though, and despite this I actually spent the most time completing this game out of all four. At its core, its still the same old Shovel Knight, there's just less of the content that I'm in it for. King Knight's story might be the funniest of the four, and the flying ship is a great hub world. If I liked joustus more? This game might be a 5. But I don't.
