I love a good platformer, and Celeste is one of the best ever made. I wasn't sure whether it would click for me, being 2D and ultra-challenging, but boy did it ever get its hooks in.

When games are really hard, I have a tendency to hate-play them. Like.. I'm genuinely not having a good time. I'm just hoping to high Xoltan that I finish the level before the blood vessel in my asscheek explodes.

With Celeste this wasn't the case. I was getting my ass kicked, but I was always having fun, and I always felt like I was getting that much closer to victory.
