Welcome to Let's Play Saturday, where I play a variety of video games and talk about their history, development, gameplay, and fandoms.
I've only ever read about Dust: an Elysian Tail on articles that list metroidvanias and good examples of the genre, and while I enjoy a good metroidvania, I only have so much time in the day, and never got around to playing this game. Ironically, I had apparently purchased it a LONG time ago on Steam, and the game just sat there for years, uninstalled and unplayed. After it won the weekly tournament, I ended up playing the intro for WAY longer than I should have, so I can't wait to play the rest of it.
Let's discuss this game's history, development, and impact as I fire up Steam and try a new run of it.
