The Shovel Knight Game You Can't Buy

UPDATE: With the announcement of Shovel Knight: Shovel of Hope: DX, it appears this issue COULD be solved, if SoH DX includes Plague of Shadows, or Plague of Shadows is released standalone in the future. Will update this description and potentially take down the video if this is the case.

A mini buyer's guide for new players, plus an explanation of YCG's whack release history and how they can fix it. The Shovel Knight series has a serious problem with accessibility, and it's time Yacht Club Games fixed it.

DISCLAIMER: If you decide to make any social media posts after seeing this video, remember to remain civil. I do not support harassment of anyone for any reason.
