Best Version: Cave Story+ for Windows
— This section contains spoilers! —
Good
- The story is like an exciting cartoon.
- Daisuke Amaya's music is wonderful, especially with the remastered music in Cave Story+.
- The graphics and art are really quite beautiful, again, even better in the upgrade.
- The fact that the low-res game is free is also a bonus.
Bad
- While they packed an awful lot into the game, it still feels too short.
- In easy mode at least, most of the bosses are -very- easy and can be defeated with the following strategy: Switch to missiles, get close, shoot rapidly, boss dies.
Ugly
- Nothing. A well-made game all-around.
