Or for that matter, VVVVVV has been my go to second game on my 3DS since late last year.

I mean, Mario Kart is cool and all, but I haven't bothered to beat all the courses on 150cc, yet I'm immediately willing to go back to New Game Plus for Shovel Knight. I'm disappointed in myself that it took me so long to consider it more than bonus games to be played between important games (World of Goo was probably my only exception to this for quite a while). Because it's just idiotic that any serious gamer would still look down on smaller indie and downloadable games. Like I could go on about my own opinion about this game, but I don't actually have to. But I'll be honest, much of the REALLY glowing praise of the game has come from Youtube reviewers who aren't on Metacritic.

Now to be fair, Shovel Knight's PC version is.an 86. Zombies: Garden Warfare has both next gen versions in the 70s.īoth next gen versions of TITANFALL are an 86. Mario Kart is literally one point above this. So while I don't like to use this as a definitive example, let's look at the Metacritic score for this game and compare it to retail titles this year. Which to a point I agree to, especially when you can get better games for less money.

There was an interesting article recently where someone from Sony was annoyed that some people still discredit the quality and importance of downloadable titles like they 'don't count'.
