The most baffling apostrophe in gaming history: a PC Gamer investigation

Minishoot' Adventures title card with red YouTube-style arrows pointed at the apostrophe and the "Does He Know" text and meme of Paul Dano from The Batman.

"Minishoot’ Adventures is a delight, questionable apostrophe use in the title and all," we wrote back in 2024, in a roundup of the year's great crop of metroidvanias. Compared to its contemporaries Animal Well and Nine Sols, Minishoot' Adventures didn't get a ton of attention two years ago, but it was a realhead's hidden gem pick for 2024 thanks to its clever amalgamation of ideas. "Exploring Zelda-like dungeons as an increasingly mighty little spaceship is such an inspired genre mash-up that I keep having to pause the game to applaud and throw flowers at it," PC Gamer contributor Abbie Stone said.

"Lovely. I'd play that," is how I presume a normal person would react to reading about Minishoot' Adventures.
