All in all, for $29.99 Cave Story+ is still a great deal. It takes all the aspects that make it a classic and further refines them in small ways to offer fans a reason to be excited again. I also personally appreciate that it’s on the Nintendo Switch, especially since the physical version came with sexy preorder bonuses. My only minor complaints are that you can’t skip dialogue and that it’s unclear how to unlock more challenges. Regardless, if you’re a fan of Cave Story already or are just a fan of retro games, I can’t recommend Cave Story+ highly enough. It doesn’t reinvent the wheel, but it does remind fans why this game is still relevant today.

The biggest addition is to the price tag, but Cave Story itself is still a masterclass in minimalist video game design. Pros: Superbly judged atmosphere and controls, with some of gaming’s most memorable characters.

This is not a game you want to have to wait for - it is a must-have for a console that it feels to have been made for. It is, as I say, a masterpiece.

It’s a testament to what an incredible achievement Cave Story+ was, or is, that it still holds up so well, remaining to be an engaging and well-paced adventure from start to finish. I had never expected to fall head over heels for the game as much as I did, wrongly believing that perhaps it wasn’t really for me. But, now that the Mimigas have been saved, all is right the world once more.

Cave Story+ really does feel like a natural fit for the Switch” In order for Quote to put an end to the evil doctor’s nefarious plans, he’ll have to explore a number of different caves while running, jumping, and shooting — you know, all of that platforming goodness.

Cave Story+ isn't just a good game in 2017; it's downright impressive.
