Celeste is the ultimate anti-troll game. I have never had a game so brazenly show me something that clearly seems impossible and then go “Don’t worry, try as many times as you need. And don’t just try until you succeed; try until you can’t fail.”
And it does this, like, 5 times, and every time I go “literally no way will I ever do that” and then several minutes later I can do it. It really is a game about climbing a mountain.
I’m a huge souls borne lover, and when first playing sekiro I got to the classic road block and just spent a few hours every night after work headbutting that wall until it cracked crumbled. Like you’re given the opportunity to fight him again without consequences, and I did it without having to use even one heal.
Celeste is based
It’s so hard later game though. And you better not ever take a break for more than a day or two!

You promise me to beat dark souls, and I’ll promise you to finally surmount the epic challenge that is Celeste.
Next time I’m looking for a new game I might pick it up!
The challenge will stand.
