Cave Story pt.2 - 05/16/2025

Have made more progress, I am currently about to face the machine boss that is on tracks, but first am facing a dark balrog (I guess his name is puu). I was hitting a wall for the balfrog fight, and then another briefly in the sand zone. It is interesting experiencing this game in hard mode as it makes me appreciate the different ways that you can strategize with each boss and use guns for maximum effeciency. For instance I never was a fan of the fireball, but have felt it necessary to use in this run. Also this is something I've always liked about Cave Story, but I love that if you don't replace your polar star with the machine gun you get access to the blade later. It is so worth it in this version of the game. More to be posted as I progress!

Return to Games - 05/15/2025

I have updated my top 10. I swapped out Unholy Heights for Cave Story. I hadn't played Cave Story in over ten years and it still sticks with me to this day. I have started replaying it in hard mode and it is just too amazing to not include in my top 10 games. I love that it is a product of passion and pure creativity. More from my playthrough should be coming soon.

CastleVania in Time for Halloween!

I've been playing through CastleVania Harmony of Dissonance, which is just as fun as I remembered. I love the range of abilities they allow you to use; it allows for a lot of the boss fights to be gimmicked into oblivion, but you still need to think up a strategy for each boss so it's a fun set of mechanics. I never finished this game (I didn't even get halfway through) and I can see why, the amount of backtracking is INSANE. This is especially terrible when you don't really know where you're going. I didn't want to resort to using a gameFAQ guide, but I had to. I got utterly lost about halfway through the game.

Getting lost can still be exciting thanks to the excellent art and variety of enemies to find. I love the art in this game! The amazing pixel art coupled with the unique boss design makes for some great things to look forward to.

Finally, Content!

This marks the first thing on my neocities page that is original and exclusive. This is the start of a whole new digital adventure that I am embarking on. I have big plans for this section of the site. I hate to admit it, but gaming has been a big part of my life; I want to reflect that within this site. I am going to try and display how much each of my top 10 favorites has has impacted my life and creative taste through each of their respective pages. I am most excited for this project because it is a huge excuse to revist my favorite games and take a deeper dive into each one of them. I am also going to blog on this main page about any other notable games I play besides the top 10, so look out for that aswell (follows are always appreciated).
