So I finished Earthbound...
IT WAS HONESTLY TERRIFYING.
I mean, I already knew that in order to go back in time to face Giygas the chosen four needed to transfer their brains into robots, but... never before did I actually witness the scene in DETAIL...
and then you actually see the robots and... BBRRRR... that’s the only part of the game that made me shudder the hardest. Along with the cave of the past in general. Just the music, the feeling, the sound of the robots walking, the enemies, the background... it was just... I had no idea a game from 1995 could be so... dark. And disturbingly unsettling. And don’t even get me started on the actual Giygas fight. That was just...
there’s not even a word for it!
I mean, until that point I thought the Bogey Tent was the most terrifying boss, and then after Giygas... well...
“Terrifying” is an understatement in this case.
Another thing I wasn’t expecting?
