A fair warning, that mine is “political” in some respects.

The 3 final enemies in Another Crab’s Treasure. I say “enemies” not bosses because two of them wish you no harm, and the last one isn’t capable of fighting back. But beating them feels so damn right and deserved.

Tap for spoilerThe final boss (not a human) is a capitalist who genuinely wants to help the denizens of the ocean, but believes in doing so via mass pollution and business investment. The final enemy is the person who stole Kril’s shell, and after hours of trying to earn it his way and getting nowhere, you literally just kill him in cold blood to take it back.

The game definitely read as “Haha funny Spongebob Dark Souls parody” and at many times it is silly; but that often disarms you for the moments of pure character writing and active worldly commentary. I’d even say with the level of ethereal, unreadable high fantasy many Souls games use, it’s probably the best written Soulslike. I described the savage bits but there’s some heartfelt moments too.
