    Another garbage game that looks like it stepped off a Gameboy advanced hand-held with shert 1980s graphics

    Shantae and the Pirate's Curse embodies the spirit of classic platformers while furthering its own identity as a franchise. Though there are some missteps throughout the journey, Shantae shows that she ages like a fine bottle of wine and only gets better with time.

    A very entertaining and humorous metroidvania platform game, capable of delivering a captivating even if not too innovative experience.
