Fans of 2D Platformers: Get Celeste! (Gaming)

It's really good! Super Meat Boy is a good comparison, but Celeste isn't ugly and has a neat story (so far, anyhow).

Maybe don't get it on Switch, though. Nintendo done screwed up. The joy-cons don't have an actual d-pad, and instead use four face buttons in the position a d-pad normally occupies. It works for most games, but for games that actually need a d-pad, it's complete garbage.

I'm honestly considering abandoning the game on Switch and rebuying it on PS4, it's that bad. It's a game that requires very precise timing and jumps, and having a garbage set of buttons really screws that up.

That doesn't take away from what seems to be a brilliant game, though.

Buckle up, folks, 2018 is already a good year for games, and it's just started.
