Shovel Knight 

A game reminiscent of retro Mega Man, Castlevania, and Legend of Zelda franchises. Also the very first video game from indie development studio Yacht Club Games .

Compared to other popular (and mildly controversial) indie games such as Undertale, its fanbase is a bit small, but it's still a hit among experienced gamers looking for a fresh batch of nostalgia. It's described as a sweeping action adventure game with breathtaking gameplay and unforgettably unique characters.

The lead character, Shovel Knight, is a bit of an oddity among heroes, brandishing a shovel as a weapon instead of swords or bows. One thing's for sure; he's come far in the gaming world, having been nominated for several awards (including the BAFTA Games Award for Debut Games) and named a 'modern classic'.
Seems everyone else is playing Undertale these days. Have they never heard of Shovel Knight before?

You think me an old fogeyand an old tory, his thoughtful voice said. I saw three generations since O’Connel’s time. I remember the famine. Do you know that the orange lodges agitated for repeal of the union twenty years before O’Connel did or before the prelates of your communion denounced him as a demagogue? You fenians forget some things. (James Joyce, Ulysses. Penguin Books,1992. p. 38)
