In 2014 Shovel Knight released and it was hailed as a modern indie game classic. But it never really gelled with me- so I put it down in 2014 and didn't come back to it. Nine years later I decide to check out what I was missing. Is Shovel Knight a true classic? Or does it's reputation overstate it's quality? I guess we're about to find out.
