It isn't a game theme, but probably something like this: m.youtube.com/watch?v=8Wg1... Xel as a final boss would be mad with grief. One of those fights where you wish you could save him, but you can't.

4. XEL: I bought this on a whim and despite wanting to like it, it's mid at best, and often quite bad. A generic 2D Zelda game with audio queues out of BotW, and a story borrowing heavily from Metroid Fusion. It feels like half a Zelda game (only 4 dungeons!) and also half finished.

I hope it's a match. I will probably sob a little when Xel finally returns home in-game. Traumatic gposes don't count.

Beat a game called XEL made by @tinyroargames.bsky.social today and man was that an enjoyable little game. Glad that I picked it up. I immediately went and bought the DLC and I’m playing through it now. Give it a shot!

youtu.be/eWuOpb9r6QA This person has undoubtably shaped my life since I was 12. I recall in 7th grade being so unironically obsessed with this song and wanting to make a chinese dragon of Xelzerin. I remember playing bee swarm simulator and thinking about fighting Xelzerin in that game. Xel my GOAT

In a world where AI is king, don’t forget your monarchs: utilities and real assets are still in the game. $AAPL $MSFT $XEL $NEE #AI #Tech #Utilities #Investing

Hey @tinyroargames.bsky.social, what are the chances you're gonna release an update to the PS4 version of Xel, that allows us to leave the final area, so we can backtrack a bit and 100% the game? 😅 Is it "zero" or "absolutely not" or both? 😂

Started playing XEL and uh, I've never played a game that's this buggy right off the bat. Don't get me wrong I've played and loved a lot of jank but this is on another level. Like I got stuck in the scenery and had to restart within mere minutes of starting.
