I was excited for something new and was a little disappointed it was just another Super Meat Boy like game. Makes me question why it wasn't just a sequel.

Pretty much this. I got like, 0 interest, in a Super Meat Boy sequel/clone/whatever. Good luck to them, but I'll pass.

Looks good, will def buy it, just saying.

I got less than a full chapter in to SMB before my blood pressure started making me look like I was the target of some Scanners.

I kept waiting for the moment they revealed what kind of game it actually was, but nope, it's just re-skinned meatboy.

Looks like... a reskinned Super Meat Boy?

Not seeing much new here. Maybe I'm just disappointed because Binding of Isaac was so different from SMB I expected his next game to be just as different...

Also is that Rich Evans?? :lol

In all seriousness Shovel Knight was about as far as I'll take difficulty in platformers so I'm out.

It's good, but when playing it I mostly think about how Super Meat Boy is a better game.

I finished it.  It took about 13 hours with 75% completion and a bit over 3000 deaths.  I don't think I will even bother getting 100%.

The level design is good, the mechanics are solid, however the aesthetic just kind of bugs me.  I know gloomy, depressing, worlds are a trademark of Edmund games, however I liked Super Meat Boy a lot because it had a cheery 90s aesthetic.  I also liked SMB more due to having a map and not having to dredge through entire worlds to get to secret levels.

If you're thirsty for 2D platformers, you'll have a good time.  Otherwise you can wait for a sale or give it a pass entirely.

Also the final challenge is going through the last world in reverse; with a fucking time limit.  Fuck that shit.
