The Elephant games were incredibly formative for me as I grew up. Sure, they're simplistic and small in scope- I didn't take more than an hour to beat each, and to get all the achievements. They're this passion project that has been carried by this one guy for the entire part of his life. Hell, I was there when each game released. I remembered being in Kongregate, on chatroom #02, talking to the people inside, playing Elephant Quest, or Achievement Unlocked.

Even the Achievement Unlocked games were formative for me. They were one of the things that got me obssessed with the idea of completionism, along with Jirard "Dragonrider" Khalil - though, honestly, the latter now leaves a bitter taste in my mouth after the current news that came out about him.

These are games that were incredibly important to me, is the point. I'm so glad to have re-experienced them, to get through their jank and play these small little bits of my childhood that left me so very happy back then, in a much simpler time, where I didn't really need an interesting story or particularly balanced gameplay.

All I needed to see was that blue elephant, and I was happy. And, today and now, I see this blue elephant. And I am happy once more.

10/10. This is a completely subjective rating, but I couldn't give it anything else.
