Mina the Hollower
Yacht Club Games' gothic follow-up to Shovel Knight channels classic top-down Zelda through a distinctly punishing Victorian lens. The sheer density of the world and Jake Kaufman's brilliant chiptune score create a thick atmosphere that makes simply uncovering the map a constant joy. Ambiguous enemy telegraphs and some tedium do occasionally drag the pacing down, but pushing through that friction, reveals a satisfying adventure that cements the studio as masters of modern retro.
