I realize how unhelpful my previous review was, I believe it was for some Steam Summer Sale event where everyone was just writing short information-lacking reviews to get cards or something.
It's really difficult when you want to keep as much about a game secret, while also telling people, "Hey, go buy and play this game, support the person and group that did it so we can get more from them later."

Cave Story is still one of my favorite games of all time so far since I originally played it the first time in 2012, and I have bought it again for the 3DS because on the newNintendo 3DS, the 3D works insanely well with 2D-style games.
Everything in Cave Story that converys a feeling whether it's if something is cute, funny, interesting, awesome, aggravating, or sad, works to successfully convey that feeling in gameplay and score.
The soundtrack is A+, the characters have depth and complexities you wouldn't understand right away. The gameplay is clean, and as tight as they really should be for a platformer, the choice and variety of weapons is vast, and the amount of exploration you can do is perfectly negotiable for the story that is also being told.

Most of the achievements are fun or interesting to try and get.

Save points are important, there are some points where you might just want to retry, and picking your save point from what you have might be important to your convenience, where Auto-saves could have ruined it. They are there FOR you, not against you.

There are some difficulty spikes and they will feel difficult but they are not impossible (until you reach a certain point in the not main game, you have to do everything for this part pretty perfect).

But I do not know what else I can say for you to get this game, except get it. get it, get it, get it, get it. This game is amazing, it is not played enough still, there are not enough people talking about it ever. In a world where the games market is being quickly watered down by just too many games and many games where people play once or twice and decide it's not good enough, gems like this get lost and covered.

This game is one of the best of it's kind, I promise.
