This is a bit misleading since this is the cover for the Stream version and I'm referring to the free download one on their official website. I just didn't want to break my covers formula. In a land of AAA titles which I'm... largely indifferent to because I'm old and reaching that retirement age (you're only 24 Tori, shut up) Spelunky was a breath of fresh air. Inspired by one of the most iconic movie characters of all time as well as another classic dungeons game, Spelunky is a fantastic and challenging dungeon crawl that keeps you guessing and requires caution and thought. My total death count is pretty much tied with Dark Souls on this one, if not more so, I wasn't keeping count I was just hurling profanities at the screen like I always do when I die. We have snakes, spiders, bats, ghosts, mummies, damsels and boulders. Hit them with a whip, throw stones at them, blow up stuff with bombs, shoot them with a shotgun, be careful an object you throw doesn't bounce off a wall and kill ya, beware of spikes and whatever you do DO NOT mess with the shopkeeper!
