I think the exact wording I'd use to describe my relationship with Iconoclasts is not that it is my favorite game, bur rather that it is the game I will most aggressively vouch for.
It has issues, sure, but this game has had it rough and for how good it is, I feel it is permanently overlooked. Nobody needs me to tell them Cave Story is good, nobody needs me to tell theme Celeste is good either.
But someone has to vouch for Iconoclasts, and K guess that one is me!
