MODERATORS
I thought the game was great. It took me less than 20 hours. I am not a completionist. The only thing I make sure to do is to beat all the bosses.
I'd say the game is difficult. It is an old school kind of game. It uses retro graphics, storytelling is quite simple. So it places heavy emphasis on the combat and platforming. The mechanics are tight and responsive so it is a difficult but fair kind of game. I personally found the combat to be easier. The platforming is the difficult part and annoying at times. In this respect it is similar to Shovel Knight, their previous game. But it has a ton of accessibility modifiers to make the game easier or harder.
Interesting. I played the OG Shovelknight quite far but dropped it towards the end cause it got to hard for me.
This game will definitely feel exhausting too. I had to play it in short-ish sessions over about a week. If I had tried to complete it in three or four days I'd have burnt out for sure.
