My terrible reaction time turned this into a horror loop where I die every 2 seconds. 20k deaths/10 would suffer again : )

Celeste reminds me that the most formidable mountains are often the ones we bear within, concealed not only from those around us, but even from ourselves. Each failure calls for patience, and progress is found not in perfection, but in persistence.

Very good game, the story and it's themes + funky art makes everything beautifully enjoyable. 10/10. Might turn you into a girl though.

This game is amazing, and despite its difficulty, if you're a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, you can even play with assist mode. Regardless, the audio and video are both beautiful, and it's just overall a rather mellow and enjoyable experience, and said mellowness doesn't feel at all diminished by the difficulty. If you don't have patience, though, this might not be for you. Have previously played on console, just to elaborate. …

It'll be following my own OC's adventures as she learns to control her magical girl powers and go on an adventure! This is very early in development!

But when Seattle Storm co-owner Celeste Keaton confronted anti-trans activists who showed up to a game, they suspended her instead of the transphobes. Subscribe to support our journalism.

neutral · AI labelView post →Well Dweller is such a beautiful game There's clear inspiration from Hollow Knight, some Celeste in there, I think a bit of Little Nightmares, and it's got such a wonderful creepy/cute vibe to it, real creepy children's fairytale kinda thing going. I'd nearly immediately recommend it.

Not having much platforming experience I got it thinking it would be a light and fun game to play for a short bit. I quickly realized I was incorrect and had made a mistake, this game was not for me... but I was struck by one of the first things the game tells you "You can do this" like it knew most people would think this way. So I kept going, easy enough at first but rapidly I was slowed to…

positive · AI labelView post →This game is genuinely life changing. I just bought it on steam but I have 80+ hours on xbox and it's my favorite game of all time. It took me 4 years to beat farewell, but every second of it was amazing (Aside from maybe chapter 3, 6B and a few rooms in farewell.) This game has genuinely helped me through rough times in my life by showing me why I shouldn't give up. First time I played it, I beat the game, got a good amount of strawberries, and put it down. Second time I picked it up (A year…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm proud to say that I finished the main story with 2375 deaths. This games teaches you a life lesson, which is that you shouldn't be afraid of failure and shouldn't let failure stop you from trying. The games celebrates failure, because the more you fail, the closer you are to succeed. (Like that quote that says that the master has failed more times than the beginner has even tried) As a person with no platforming experience, my entire experience on this games was a cycle of the following…

Imagine if VVVVVV met Celeste but it was a also a psychological horror game but also extremely funny and hiding a few twists and you'll be in the ballpark.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game... is fun, loads of fun for me. How I played 580 hours of a single player game I have no clue but I never want this fun, precise, and well designed platformer to end. This is a great game for the people who love bashing their head into a brick wall and seeing if it sticks.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Beforehand, Celeste just seemed like a cuter version of Super Meat Boy to me... it didn't stay that way for long. True to its reputation, Celeste is an unforgivingly difficult platformer, and it will certainly make you mad at times... but I simply could not give up climbing, I just knew that I could do it, that I had to do it. Sooner or later, it was "do or die" for me, and I was dead set on being a doer - just like Madeline herself. Put your pride and ego aside for this game - it may be…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Idk how they made mental torture so fun that you can just torture yourself for hours while listening to funky music, you got arthritis also as a bonus for playing the games, this game absolute rocks. Simple games, simple story yet so meaningful (if you even get to see the messages fully), but yeah i'm having fun smashing my head against the table, Highly recommend if you want to get humbled 10/10
