Apparantly the XP system is bugged in such a way that the bonus games are not unlocked if you meet the exact requirement, only once you surpass it. At least that's what's happened to me. I already had 5000/5000 XP yesterday, but Expeditions was only unlocked after I increased my XP to 5100 today. Did anyone else experience the same?

They just probably wrote XP>level instead of XP>=level.
Not an uncommon mistake.

I have a few questions about Shovel Knight:

1. Is it completely up to date, regarding patches & content?
2. What kind of save system does it have?
3. How hard is it?
4. What are the main reasons for all the praise it gets?

I'm curious about it, but I'm not sure if I should really spend that much money on it. People keep saying that it's worth the full price, and I fully believe that it is to them, but if I end up losing interest after playing one level or two due to my own preferences in games, it would be a waste of money to me. The thing is, I like challenges but I'm not that patient with repetition. Permadeath or quite long levels with boss fights at the end that require you to completely play through them again if you lose because you haven't figured out the boss yet or something like that would probably be a turn off to me. Is its popularity mostly due to nostalgia and difficulty, like Odallus etc., or is there more to it?

2. IIRC there are checkpoints for every stage, but you can destroy checkpoint to get more points/money.
3. It's not hard and it's not easy. I'd say it's just fine to be kind of a challenge but nothing like Dark Souls.
4. Game perfectly combines 8-bit era graphic with some modern mechanics.

1. Don`t take my word as gospel, but seems to be the same version as the current steam version with more update plans for the future, more characters to play with.

2. Within a level you have several checkpoints. If you die, you`ll lose some money with a chance to recover it and spawn at the last checkpoint. Checkpoints are optional, you can destroy them for money and when you really want a challenge.
Your general save remembers your progress on the world map, monetary situation etc.

3. Opinions differ, some say nintendohard, but I found it rather easy tbh. Controls are great and gameplay is really intuitive. Airship stage is more difficult and if you want all the goodies from a level, it`ll become more interesting, but it is not Megaman. You have a generous life bar after some updates, just avoid spikes and pits ;-) Most Bossfights were really fair, one or two exceptions but that is to be expected for the genre.

4. Blast from a past. Great game, would be a perfect fit for the old Nintendo console. Music is really awesome. If you like Megaman, Ducktales, Super Mario 3 etc. for the old NES and if you own a controller, you'll most likely have fun with it. Only challenger would be the Shantae games, but I own both, so please don`t make me choose.

Watch a Let`s play video, 10 minutes should tell you, if it`s up your alley.

To buy or not to buy The Witness? That is the question.
