The Shovel Knight devs' Steam Next Fest gem is such a perfect homage to Zelda: Link's Awakening that I wish I was playing on an actual Game Boy

Mina the Hollower.

If you thought Shovel Knight's 8-bit aesthetic was retro, you might not be ready for its long-awaited successor. But Yacht Club has built up such a reputation for throwback excellence over the years that I didn't hesitate to download Mina the Hollower, only to find that it might be an even more-perfect retro experience than its predecessor.

Wearing its Game Boy vibes very clearly on its sleeve, Mina the Hollower puts you in the shoes of the mousy Mina. A Hollower and inventor by trade, Mina's dual specialties are perfect for the quest she finds herself drawn into - the technology she created for the city of Ossex is playing up, and the city's mayor thinks there might be something more than planned obsolescence at play.
