I would describe Celeste as "a really hard platformer that anyone can beat." It does such a good job of teaching you how to be good at it.

[@jordandwiggins1026]

100% It’s the hardest game that I never once stopped believing I could complete, even as a very casual gamer.

[@alansmithee419]

@@jordandwiggins1026 I have on multiple occasions started playing a game I've seen a youtuber or two play, thinking I understand how it works. And then I play the game and remember "Oh yeah! I suck at video games!" And give up because it's too hard. After beating Farewell my first thought was "what do I do next?" Thankfully it has an active modding community! I'm about half way through Monika's D-sides. Haven't played in over a month though, but definitely want to get back to them. Also hello Inigo. I've not got any preparing to do have I?

[@Prof.Guards13]

This has to be the best description I have heard of it. I have never seen a KZbinr or anyone give up on this game. And as someone who mostly plays games made for kids (like a Hat in Time and stuff) or the easiest setting available. I was able to get through the whole game without ever feeling like I wasn't skilled enough to finish a room. Only like I didn't know the steps to do it. And during those times I would just trial and error my way though it. One of my all time favorite games. Edit typo.

[@aspenisthebest]

I tried and I hated it so much. It got so ridiculous and the graphics gave me a headache. I can't understand how people love that game. Just play Hollow knight until you die and leave this world happy.

I was absolutely surprised that Farewell existed when I found out about it. I hadn't even unlocked core yet, and hadn't played in what felt like a year. So I went back, buckled down, unlocked core, cleared and enjoyed core, and went on to try Farewell. I noped the fuck out on the first puzzle.

@@trevorsreya8277 nice that the start worked to scare you off /gen lol. Really, farewell should only be unlocked after core b-side in my opinion.

Unironically that single strawberry probably took me over an hour of trying to get it. Almost drove me insane and definitely sent me through all the stages of grief. I kept asking myself why, WHY did I need to get the berry, but I knew that if I gave up I would be conceding defeat, so I kept going. Twice I got literally a single dash away from the exit, but dashed in the wrong direction and died... Seriously I hate that strawberry, it very nearly broke me lmao.

[@Sneakysneaky88]

Celeste is a perfect game for levelling up a new-ish gamer. It has the chill vibes, the quick restarts and infinite lives, and that wonderfully carved difficulty curve tickled onwards by the cute characters and beckoning journey. Another game that I've noticed seems to be good for newer gamers was Undertale, if only because the relative difficulty is low, but still has a certain curve to it and rewards certain behaviour. I mean, also because of certain repercussions, tending to want the good ending, and then seeing their reaction to all the cool stuff they missed. But this would most definitely be classed as bullying. :3

[@doctoreggg]

Now make her do farewell.

To the moon (or anything really by freebird games) - A similar story vibe, that manages to both be uplifting and depressing at the same time.

It's really cute but it also delves in to some deep topics like depression and anxiety and working to healing and recovery., it also has a two player mode that perfect for date night as player1 gets to do all the puzzles and bosses while player2 can paint the world, sometimes help with puzzles, and relax!
