A game that borrows ideas from other games without feeling derivative. Shovel Knight has good controls and easy to understand mechances; the game excels in utilizing a design that teaches players how to play. A playthrough elicits nostalgia to older games with a fair amount of difficulty involved. Highly recommended.

Overall, Teslagrad is not a hard game as puzzles are relatively easy to figure out and boss fights come down to memorizing patterns. Artwork is great and the music is atmospheric as well. The plot is pretty barebones and not much background is given but much of the story is told through visuals present in the game. All these elements blend together to make a satisfying and relaxing puzzle platformer. Highly recommended.
