| HaRRicH 01/01/20 1:00:24 PM #13: | <b>#23: VVVVVV Released on 1/11/2010 Steam</b> (written in 2013) I'm surprised I like this game so much, considering I played it immediately after having my wisdom teeth pulled. Then again, maybe that would make any game seem great...! This is a simple platformer made complicated by difficulty, then simplified again by check-points, then complicated again with collectables. I also forget where I heard this phrase about VVVVVV, but this is a game that is in love with being a video game; from its retro graphics to its excellent soundtrack to random elephants, Terry Cavanagh had a blast making this. I like the open world it leaves you in as well; it's not Metroidvania'ish so much as just allowing you to take on the levels you find first, which works in its favor since you don't need to gain additional powers. It's very short, but that's not such a bad thing either. I hear the 3DS-version is good, but I've not checked it out yet. Cavanagh's also done good work since putting this out, such as with a flash game called Hexagon. He has a way of pushing simple concepts, so I hope he continues with success. NOW IN 2020: VVVVVV has an argument for soundtrack of the decade. It's just something like thirty minutes long, but once it' starts bumpin' it doesn't stop. Also, hey, it's our oldest game on this list! --- O P E R A T I O N O U S T : Nominate SHEIK! https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/ssb/images/0/0d/Sheik-Victory3-SSB4.png ... Copied to Clipboard! |
