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.

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.
