Neither of us is more right than the other) (I personally like Van Gogh work but I know people that don't. Everyone has their own opinions and no work of art should be immune to criticism, no matter how many people like the work. Those issues caused the game to be overrated for me. Similar with Shovel Knight, a lot of the problems I had with it is when it was trying to be too much like a clunky NES game. Many games since then have done things better. I can understand why people enjoyed OoT but I think it is overrated. That builds expectations for players that haven't experienced it. OoT has gotten many "Best Game Ever" Awards. Everyone was calling these games some of the best they have played in years. That was my issue with OoT and Shovel Knight. Basically it means that people talked the game up so much that it wasn't able to live up to expectations. I find Majora's Mask to be better than OoT also.Ĭalling something overrated isn't lazy and it does express a relevant opinion. OoT may have been good for its time but I think it is a little overrated. It was a clunky experience and Wind Waker fixed a lot of the issues I had with OoT, so it was a step backwards for me. I didn't beat OoT until it was on Wii VC. At the least, seminal works should be immune to such simple dismissals which ignore the rare groundbreaking achievements by intrepid visionaries who push the boundary to make stuff better. Regardless of your perception of a game or it's reception, calling something overrated is lazy and hardly expresses a relevant opinion. The gap between OoT and other 3D Action/Adventure games of the era cannot be overstated and I can't think of many modern games that have clearly surpassed what it achieved (for instance, there aren't any from the past year that would likely even be in the conversation). Ocarina if Time is among the most influential 3D games yet released. Whoa, that is a completely absurd comparison. Like Ocarina of Time is good but overrated I agree with you, while Shovel Knight is good (really good) I think it is overrated. From the airborne propeller Knight to the Spectre Knight swinging his deadly scythe, each battle is a truly memorable experience that you won’t soon forget.Overrated, yeah a little.I think people just love it because of some similarity it has with Mega Man games. The boss fights are truly epic too, heart attack inducing battles against the 8 knights of The Order of No Quarter. But for those looking for that true old school experience, or who are a glutton for punishment, the checkpoints can be destroyed and you can attempt to run through the level without dying. Thankfully there are checkpoints in each level, and lives are endless provided you have enough gold to respawn. I found myself on numerous occasions in fits of rage, cursing myself as I failed to reach a platform for the 30th time in a row, or dying when a boss has 1/2 life left, after trying for hours to defeat him. While well designed, Shovel Knight can be brutally unforgiving at times. There are also hidden music sheets to be found throughout the game which can be exchanged for large sums of gold when presented to the village bard.
WII U SHOVEL KNIGHT GAMEID FULL
Each level is chock full of hidden secrets to uncover, walls to dig into, floors to drop down through, all revealing secret rooms filled with treasure and loot. Things like lightning flashing while trying to jump onto a moving platform felt familiar, but I never had that feeling that I’ve been there, done that before. The level design is fantastic, and while it borrows ideas from games like Castlevania, Shovel Knight stands out on it’s own, feeling unique and fresh.
