Cave Story+ On #PC - Part 7 - The Final Part - Backlog Conquering


Welcome to Backlog Conquering. This is a series were i play a game from my backlog that i may or may not have played before. the goal isn't necessarily to finish the game, the goal is to play it. that way, i can have an opinion about it.

And that's it. turns out i was closer to the finish than i realized. like each time i had gotten stuck, i watched a video to see what i was missing and once again i had missed a hidden passage. Once i did a couple of tasks i was ready to move on up to the bosses. Turns out, i had to do 4 boss fights without saving in between. it was rough just trying to do the first 2. once i remembered i had the Life Pot, i cleared the first 3 without issue and only used it on the fourth. With the boss fights finished, it was time to flee and that was Game Over.

I'm glad i tried Cave Story+ but it wasn't the most straightforward of games. i went in expecting something linear but it turned out that there was quite a bit i had missed. the video i mentioned showed me other weapons, characters who lived, and small people. if i knew there was a lot left to explore and find i might've spent more time looking around. but, for me, the game never really presented itself this way. there was always an urgency, a need to save someone, so i kept pressing forward as i thought that was this sort of game.
