StarTropics (NES) Part 3 on Nintendo Switch Online
0GREAT GAME ALERT! The third and final part of this game is a bit of a wild design choice. Instead of the game's normal dungeon progression consisting of labyrinths of rooms, the developers decided to make a massive open floor plan and have you explore to find your way forward... This would easily take someone several hours just to map out the region, since every death and game over brings you to just a few hearts when you revive. Sure there are hearts around the map, but you will easily take more damage attempting to pick them up then just walking by them.
As I did finish the game, I felt a sigh of relief. No longer did I have to play this crazy hard game, but I did feel sad that the adventure was over. This game might be the closest Zelda-like game that I've ever played and it was very fun. I'm glad that it also had a TON of content. If this wasn't as hard of a game, I could see this being easily replayable, just like Zelda games are, but I found this to be a classic NES difficulty barrier for me on that front.
