celeste saved my life. so did dark souls but this isn't about them. celeste made me love myself and made me realize how wonderful life would be if I would embrace the part of me I was suppressing, I played this game in quarantine, I was talking to nobody, constantly suicidal but still I played videogames. it seemed like the only consistent thing in my life. when I started Celeste I loved the snappy controls and neat art style but quickly got frustrated with the challenge, and while I won't go into my experience with every level (although I definitely could) I ended up appreciating the challenge, enjoying my anger and accepting it. and in the end, I turned out to be a girl (lol) no but seriously I went on a mental journey with Madeline, and it helped me realize how happy I could be if I just truly embraced myself

This game had potential, and if the developers did not outright abandon it or kept balancing the game-- this game would be the best battle royale. It was unique, fun, and original.

In the Spring of 2018, when the beta was out, I played this game and invested in getting better. I had such fond memories with it, and it was truly the last game in modern gaming that I felt the need to be competitive. I WANTED to be sweaty at this game. I wanted to reach the skill ceiling that everyone else was at.

However, this game lacked the consistency and care that every other battle royale did. That's why it failed.

Most of the gauntlets were broken and the game became stale. You could barely find anyone in matchmaking after a while.

There's still a fan community that hosts their own server to keep the game alive. That's the only spark of life Spellbreak has. Otherwise, the studios/devs have fully abandoned this game.
