Well, I'm sorry I haven't been keeping up with my blog. Things have been kind of crazy. I also took the weekend off from playing, which I feel bad about, but it was my birthday and I had guests. So today, I got back into the game, and I'm happy to say I have defeated it. I am not, however, happy to say that I forgot to load Fraps, so there are no pictures of the final boss. I am an idiot. Basically I had to enter a giant monster body, and then fight a big monster. And in true old-school tradition, I had to beat it four times. I died a lot and it wasn't fun! But I finally got 'im. But I didn't get the true ending because I didn't get all the lost souls or memories or whatever? Fuckin' bullshit.
Anyway, my final thoughts on Aquaria is that it is a truly old-school game. It makes no apologies for its difficulty or save points or somewhat clunky controls and mechanics. But man, by the 6th or 7th hour I just wished the game would fucking end already. I was never that invested in the story and none of the new powers I gained over the course of the game made much of a difference. It's a fun enough game, but I'm betting most people will put it down long before they see the end.
Final Grade: C+
