Back in 2019 my friend gifted me this game for my birthday, leaving a note about how it could run on a microwave, so it could run on my shitty thick ass MacBook. I didn't believe him, but after the quick download it actually ran-one of the only games that I could play on steam at the time without a pc.

Iconoclasts is a 2D Metroidvania that takes up to 10 hours to complete, 7-8 if you're a little faster (and better) with your gameplay. The story follows a young mechanic who, (soft spoilers) after her father dies searches for answers about why, and ends up involved in an ocean of problems.

I loved this game. The themes of the story discussing how humans become obsessed with icons rather than the reality they exist in. I can't say more without spoilers but the gameplay is entertaining, the story is fun, and I loved the characters. Highly recommend!
