I wish all games would just let you save whenever you want to! Why is using checkpoints and auto saves so common?
At least add a quit and save option if you want to avoid save scumming.
These days I just want to be able to squeeze in some gaming whenever I can even if it’s just quick sessions. That’s annoyingly hard in games that won’t let you save.
I’d never play that on PC. It would work on xbox though since quick resume just let’s ju pop out to the dashboard and resume whenever. It’s not foolproof but I’ve only had to restart from a checkpoint a few times.

That was my only issue with the otherwise excellent Shovel Knight! It had very long levels and only saved once you beat them.

Like someone else above said, on PC you can just use Cheat Engine to speed hack it to 0x speed, pausing the game!
Because that’s how the 8 bit games it was replicating worked, if they even had saves at all.
