What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
what if cave story wasn't a classic indie game oozing with charm, love, and character and was instead reduced into a charmless product/brand???
And the gameplay isn't exactly complicated either. hey, remember that little game called Metal Gear Solid?
- cute, low-res visuals
- nice, albeit out-of-place (for cave story), soundtrack that adds a christmas-y flair to cave story tracks
Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
No themes split opinion in this sample.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway. 2 more themes were each raised by fewer than 6 sampled reviews and are not shown.
