I’m really in the mood for a game like Shovel Knight after listening to some chiptune tracks the other day. Something fair, but challenging would be ideal. Must have a good soundtrack!

Along these lines I’ve already played:

  • Shovel Knight
  • Celeste
  • The Messenger
  • Hollow Knight (well, in terms of the difficulty not the music)

Does anyone know of any I’ve missed? They don’t necessarily have to be modern indie games - old NES/SNES games for example. SMB3 and SMW are classics.

I’ve heard of that series but never tried it. Actually the trailer reminded me a bit of Castlevania SOTN - which is another one I really should play!

If you haven’t played SOTN, I highly recommend you take a pitstop from platformers and try it now. I just played and beat it for the first time last week and it’s great.

Reasons for my suggestion:

  1. It’s spooky season and the SotN theme fits well.
  2. The game is beatable in one day.
  3. The music is fantastic.

Hah, all excellent points. I think I may need to play SOTN and the original Resident Evil this month for the spookiness.

The game is beatable in one day.

And if you never played it, boy, you’re in for a real treat. There’s so, so, SO MUCH to explore in there! Also, getting something akin to a 100% will definitely take longer if you don’t look into guides.
