Shovel Knight is a masterpiece. That’s a buzzword I don’t like to throw around recklessly, but it rings true here. Shovel Knight’s humor, gameplay, homage to classic games, as well as its music and art, are second to none, and it is without question one of the best games of the past ten years. It’s because of this that I jump at the chance to play anything Yacht Club Games puts out, especially if they’re feeling confident enough to attach the Shovel Knight IP.

Puzzle games are also one of my weaknesses, so Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon was a must-play for me. Pocket Dungeon does a marvelous job of blending the things that make Shovel Knight great with classic puzzle game ideas, all while bringing something entirely unique to the table.
