   If you've put off playing this game, you must put off putting off. This game is bloody fantastic.... has the charm of older generation games,If you've put off playing this game, you must put off putting off. This game is bloody fantastic.... has the charm of older generation games, but it's not dated, it holds up and will probably hold up for many decades to come. It's one of those games that you'll want a sequel as soon as you beat it. There's some underground methods of playing this game so I only wished I researched this (originally not worrying about spoilers) because you'll have to start from scratch to go the intended route... even after replaying I still enjoyed it.… Expand

   Cave Story is a return to a simple time of simple pleasures in all it's pixelated beauty. Very reminiscent of NES platformers like Metroid andCave Story is a return to a simple time of simple pleasures in all it's pixelated beauty. Very reminiscent of NES platformers like Metroid and Megaman, it is exemplary proof that adventure platformers can still hold up in a world where games are populated with chest-high walls and health regeneration. set on an island in the sky, the player controls Quote, an exploration robot who has lost his memory. Upon meeting the Mimiga, a race of small humanoid-bunny-like creatures, he soon learns of an evil scientist's plot to harness the power of the Mimiga to build his own personal army. Each stage has fantastic music sure to stick in your head long after you've completed the game. With different difficulty settings, hidden weapons and powerups, Cave Story Plus will keep you coming back for more.… Expand

   It's a good remastered for the original. It removes the 50 fps cap. Same story with additional modes.

   Cave Story+ is a solid platformer with a nice goofy story.

The controls are confusing at first, but once you figure out that the "use" button is activated by looking down (contrary to pretty much any other game you've ever played in your life), you'll be fine for the rest of the game.
   
   There are only two problems I can point out with this game. The first is that the jumping is a bit slippery, which means it's hard to get a solid landing when jumping to other platforms. This can get a little frustrating sometimes, but it's not that big of a deal overall.
   
   The second is that the final boss battle is a pain in the royal *** to deal with, and you will definitely rage at it for hours and even consider uninstalling as you try to beat it over and over. Why is it hard, you ask? Because it's four consecutive bosses without any save points in between.
   
   I was tempted to drop the game's rating to a 7 because of the final boss battle being overwhelmingly difficult, but then I realized after learning the bosses that it was actually a lot easier than I expected and it only seemed hard at first. Catharsis hit me hard right after I beat the final boss, and that gave the game back its 8 rating for me.
   
   Overall, I enjoyed the game, and I'd recommend trying it out. Don't hesitate to use a guide to clear the final boss battle, because it really is hard.… Expand

Then, why only a score of 7? It's simple. The original game is a FREEWARE, and this doesn't add enough contents to recommend it at full price (like new challenges), and the new graphic/sound is not worth the price, since the original was better (and free) . Seriously, the price is too high. But if you find it on a discount, buy it! It's very funny and challenging, and it also has multiple endings and achievements. Highly recommended while on a discount.… Expand

   Definitively not. Because + is an expensive DLC of the original free which is just destroy the spirit of free game made by retro lovers. PlayDefinitively not. Because + is an expensive DLC of the original free which is just destroy the spirit of free game made by retro lovers. Play that kind of game without set up gamepad configuration is shame. Doing the game on normal, this is just too easy... Play on hard, there is nothing more than just wasting time to get one shot and go back to the last save point which is almost every 10 seconds... So difference between Normal and Hard is just time to beat the game.
   Graphics are just perfect for a free game, but the "new" style is very ugly.
   Story really poor, can't skip text, can't bind keys... Well, Cave Story+ doesn't deserve that success.… Expand
