Title: Knytt Stories
Author: Nifflas
Cost: Free!
Not too many people find freeware all that appealing usually, especially games. Often the quality is horrid, and there is very little support for problems or help with the game. Knytt Stories completely blows this out of the water. While it is a freeware 2d platformer, the level design, gameplay, music, and story(ies) are amazing.
Music:
The music in Knytt Stories is one of the main reasons I love this game so much. Each part of the story/level has wonderfully creative music that goes with it. I often find myself revisiting areas just to listen to the music.
Gameplay:
Knytt Stories plays like a regular platformer, but with less emphasis on the challenge of getting through the level and more on adventuring around the game world. There are several levels that include difficulty switches that change the landscape around to make it more difficult, if you find it too easy.
Other:
Knytt Stories is, as it name suggests, stories about Knytt. Each story is a separate level that has a small introduction followed by the game. Usually, each story has a regular and secret ending, with the secret ending being extremely difficult to unlock. You can also download extra official and unofficial stories created by the author and by fans.
All in all, Knytt Stories is a completely amazing game. If you even have the slightest interest in games, be it pc or console, get this game, its fairly small, and worth it.
