Thankfully there is still a place for this type of gameplay in the modern scene and with the launch of Bucket Knight on Xbox One, PS4, PS Vita and Nintendo Switch, things are opening up to a whole new audience."
Neil writes: "The Xbox Series X and PS5 unveils may be the hottest topic in gaming at this time, but for many it's all just about the games. And if you fit into that category then there is only one thing to worry about this week - the latest bargains being delivered via the Xbox Deals With Gold and Spotlight Sale for 16th-22nd June 2020. And once more there are a whole host of brilliant Xbox One and Xbox 360 discounts in place."
Games are advancing in a way that was never thought possible at a rate that makes it hard to keep up with the latest trends and emerging genres. At the same time, developers and players still seem to love to always go back to the classics. Think Shovel Knight or The Messenger.
From indie developer PigeonDev comes Bucket Knight, a short and quick platformer with a retro style. Here's GotGame's review.
