Celeste and Shovel Knight are my favorite semi-recent games. I'm always game for A Link to the Past though.
Céleste is one of my go-to comfort Games. Controls are crisp af, the music is fantastic, the gameplay loop is neat. It's a wonderful game, it deserves its fame.
What's the best entry point to Shovel Knight these days? Do I have to buy the treasure trove? Any cheaper options to get a taste of it?
I got it in a Humble bundle years ago for a relatively low price before the expansions and got those for free when they came out. I can't speak much for the value of the current $40 price tag, but I certainly got my money's worth.
The original game, now called "Shovel Knight: Shovel of Hope", is well worth the $15 on steam for the standalone first installment though, if you aren't looking to spend too much. Most folks do recommend getting Treasure Trove but I found I really didn't play the expansions much myself anyway.
Thanks! I will keep an eye on sales for both the bundle and Shovel of Hope.
