termine Cave Story! lindo juego, entretenido. me tomo 5 horas el gauntlet final para sacar el true ending :'v son las 5 am horario ruined

Legendary Indie game. Unfortunately, like Pink Floyd's The Wall, its story makes me very sad and I have a hard time returning to it anymore.

Long before Bloodborne, the Blood-Stained Sanctuary of Cave Story consistently spiked my heart rate in a way no other video game had before. I remember staying up past my bedtime on my DSi, feeling so much pride the moment I finally beat it and got the true ending, the concept of which was also pretty new to me. There is something so personal, beautiful and tragic about this story and world, and all throughout my time with the game I remember thinking how unbelievable it was that just one person made it. I don't think I realized how profoundly inspiring that thought was to me until writing this.

This was the first indie title I'd ever played. It's the (rather unfair) standard I hold all the rest to in one way or another.

Despite some minor issues I had with the game (Mainly how the difficulty later on felt more annoying than fun at times), I can see why it has become so beloved by many. Great story and characters, nice gameplay with a really unique weapon mechanic with some wonderful variety with the weapons, an amazing soundtrack, charming graphics. Overall, I had a great time with the game overall, can definitely recommend it to those who haven't played it already.

Still stuck on Ballos till this game
