Have you played a game that stayed in your head long after you played it?

For me, Outer Wilds would be that game. I feel like I haven't stopped thinking about it since I beat it a couple years ago.

Shovel Knight stuck with me more than I think the developers even expected. Maybe because I went through a rather distressing breakup at the time.

Shovel Knight ending

Shovel Knight's girlfriend isn't a cliche damsel. She's the capable Shield Knight and his partner. They used to go on adventures together as a team.

During the game, the platforming challenges that are hard, are hard because Shovel Knight is alone. With Shield Knight, platforming and fighting becomes easier and most of the levels would not have been so hard. The end fight is teamwork build on building up each others' strengths and fill in each others' weaknesses.

Yeah yeah, I know I probably read more into it than they put into it, but I did and it stuck with me.
