Only in that you need to be on speed to derive any sort of enjoyment from playing it.

Freedom Planet pushed all the right buttons in my Sega brain, but on the level of story, mechanics, design, music and pretty much everything Shovel Knight is the superior project.

To call it uninspired is missing its point. Shove Knight was an 8-bit game that managed to move me. Freedom Planet was fun and cheesy and full of nasty but excusable warts like an old Saturday Morning Cartoon.

I appreciate both for completely different reasons (and a few similar ones due to nostalgia fuzzies), but on a purely critical level Shovel Knight has broader appeal and much more polish.

As for Mighty No. 9, I'm still cautiously optimistic. I'm glad the mechanics aren't turning out to be straight up, 100% Mega Man.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I think it is clear that we have an Aero the Acrobat fanboy on our hands.

That's how I'm going to approach it too. Considering all the MM fanboys overly funded that thing who knows how it will end up in the end. I originally was thinking a 3DS buy but since that's not physical I'm going to see how it goes on the PC side if it's just Steam or maybe if GoG gets it. That'll even get you the best price anyway with all the random sales.

I don't actually care for the plot myself, but since it's more like an added bonus than a main part of the game (at least to my eyes), it doesn't ruin my enjoyment of the game.

I just didn't enjoy Shovel Knight, especially after all the hype and accolades it received, but to its his own. And judging by those sales, my own is really a minority :lol:

I just could do with less passive aggresiveness from some people, especially when it's about something that's up to personal taste and at the same time, insignificant, like video games.

But how else will we tell you that your personal taste is wrong?
