Welcome to the official discussion thread for Celeste on the Switch!
To start, please add this game to your log, add it to your collection (if applicable), and (when you are ready) rate it using the link above!
So this just came out for Switch and is a pretty fantastic title so far that I haven't really seen anyone talk about here so why not have a thread to bring it to people's attention a bit more? I'm sure that some may pass up on it for now due to being just a Super Meat Boy clone and while it does play similarly, it definitely has a lot more going for it with an involved story, fun characters, creepy and hard hitting themes that I just did not expect. And that soundtrack is so, so good. But back to its gameplay, it's a bit more open in design while still remaining fairly linear but rather than have small set pieces, it's a bigger level with challenge rooms chained together while keeping the exploration aspect for those that want to hunt down for secrets/optional challenges. It never really feels like the game is unfairly hard though and its controls are tight and precise, making overcoming its difficulty a rewarding and fun experience. So check it out if you haven't done so already! And if you have, talk about it here! URL to share (right click and copy)

I will say this, having not really looked at much about the game I have seen SO MANY opinions thrown around that it is astounding. I don't know what the story and such is about, but boy they must have done something because one set of people are praising it as some sort of perfect genius and other sets are saying it's a bunch of pandering BS. I don't know the last time I've seen so many people split on an indie level game. I'm tempted to watch a Let's Play or even just read a summary of the story, just to see why it has so many people talking. For me, I think it's a cool concept, but I'm not a fan of Super Meat Boy style. I just don't have the patience for that anymore. I bet I'd have loved this and the genre as a whole as a kid. Now it's just annoying to me, lol. But I love seeing the creativity of games like this, even if they are a clone that tries some new things. The quality level overall looks fantastic, and I applaud the developer for the hard work! One aside, the little pop-up character icons make me straight-up cry. They are so well made and appealing, and the rest is just pixel-art generic and bland. My imagination races to what could have been if they would have used the Character Image art style on the entire game. I fear if I played I would spend the whole game miserable over such a missed opportunity. EDIT: I really hope the developer and the artist who did those will make something next that takes full advantage of whatever brilliant mind is behind those character boxes! Or maybe I can dig around and find what artist it was and hire them for some future game or something, because I adore those pictures. |
