Welp... apparently not all games are available in some asian countries... Cuphead, FH4, GoW4 is, but not Celeste.

Lol I JUST bought this on sale on Steam the other day since it was like 20% off. I only played and completed up to chapter 3 so I wonder if I'm eligible to return in. Time to find out!
Actually before I do that I can't seem to find out how to get Celeste for free on the Microsoft store. I tried all the links in the topic. Checked my browser. Downloaded the app and everything still reads $19.99. Wonder what's up.

I actually just finished this game today. Overall it was pretty amazing. Art style, music, and level design were absolutely perfect. Loved the themes it explored, too.
My main issue with the game - my only issue, really - is that the levels, and especially the boss levels, are way too long. I was playing the final level for like three hours. That's kind of ridiculous, IMO. (To be fair, I stopped playing the game for like six months and then came back to play the last level, and thus I was probably dying quite a bit more than I would have if I had kept playing the game until the end.) And every time I was doing a boss level, I just kept thinking, "WHEN IS THIS GOING TO END."

For those of you afraid of this game being too difficult, one of the best parts of Celeste is that it doesn't look down upon you for enabling difficulty assists.
You should play it. If it's too tough, enable the assists - it's still completely worth it. It's part of the developer's intentions.

The game is hard, but tbh it's also very forgiving for basically the whole main game.
The b-sides and c-sides are not forgiving, but that's bonus content.

Wired I finished them relatively quickly. Only took about 16 hours to 100% it with a few gold strawberries.
It's funny that you say that because I was just about to quote your earlier post and use RDR2 as an example of a game that does not deserve those insanely high review scores it got lol.
I just went back to replay a couple of the early levels and got through them pretty quickly. I'll chalk up the length of the levels to the fact that it was a.) the final level that I was playing, which is obviously going to be the most challenging, and b.) six+ months between the time that I played the first six chapters and the final one.
I do recall when I was playing it originally, though (and this was my opinion when playing it today to finish it out), the boss battles ARE too long. I appreciate that they are meant to test your skill, but they go on for a long time. I've never liked bosses, because I like to go at my own pace, so the problem was exacerbated for me.
I guess I'm getting old because I'm dying so much. Like spend 5-10 minutes on a single screen dying. Like Super Meat Boy levels of dying. The difficulty just spiked for me. I'll keep at it but I'm just not having that much fun currently.
You can change the locale on the website to en-us to get it or change the region on your Xbox to download it.
Agreed. XBL more than justifies it's worth for me. I'll be downloading and trying this out tomorrow.
Same here, i was just shaking my head in disbelief about all the praise..the jumping in this game doesn't even feel good and those hideous character portraits in conversations..played it for 3 hrs and never returned to it
There are accessibility options to make it more forgiving.
Also, I'd say it's not a 1-for-1 comparable to SMB. There are correct ways to complete levels, more puzzle-like, and sometimes you're just doing it wrong. There were times where I kept thinking I was just off by a pixel or my timing was wrong but, really, I was just looking at it entirely incorrect and there was a much easier solution.
Died 142 times before I said screw it and toggled assist mode.
I had a stroke last year, so games like these are the antithesis of fun. I'm glad they included the cheat mode because I would have gotten too frustrated to continue and just read a summary of the game.
In case it's not clear (it wasn't for me) you need to do more once you toggle on assist mode. I was wondering why it was still difficult with the mode on -- turns out it's not on, until you say yes to the initial toggle and then go into the pause mode.

I would feel like a wimpy filthy casual if I used those assists myself, but it's great to have those kind of options for people who don't judge themselves as hard as I do.
No, really, I wouldn't be able to forgive myself if I had to resort to "easy mode" to beat a game. :(

Keep going, believe in yourself, you can achieve greatness if you just push through this barrier.
IIRC games will stay in tied to your gamertag but are only accessible as long as you have an active XBLG membership (for Xbox One games).

Also, this is applicable to you:
Works just like on PS4 then, will try to do so with my credit card. Thanks.
i got 3/4 through the main game and hit a wall, moved on to something else.
ill be honest that when i heard you can alter gameplay difficulty without turning off achievements a month ago i was all up ons.
the last achievement was beating pico, where the adjustments have no effect, and man, all those advanced techniques you are forced to use ... i wish i had know about in the main game.

I never knew until this thread that there was an assist mode lol. Has that been there since day one?
Celeste has an amazing story - not so much a complex narrative, but a thought-provoking exploration of personal mental health and the struggle with one's own personal demons and self doubt. There are actually several youtube videos breaking down and discussing the story and mental health.
The music is phenomenal too. And yes the gameplay is compelling, tight, and great.
More than any other game in 2018, Celeste is the complete total package. Its #3 on my personal GOTY list behind GoW and RDR2, but its the closest to being a perfect game at what it does.
The asist mode was there on day one . Soo yeah you must have been just blazing past the option when launching a new save ...
Yeah I never even noticed it lol, not that I would have used it anyways. That's really cool they have that. More accessibility is always welcome!
Lol,10 minutes with this game and I am done...just like Ori,I hate the controls and its not my type of game at all...after about 30 deaths,that was it...have fun guys.
First impressions: nice music and presentation, the graphics are a nice nostalgia tug but just because something is nostalgic does not make it good.
The gameplay is good.
It's a very good indie but I don't get the hype.
Rayman origins is a better game.

I'm on a one month trial of Gold for 1 dollar. Do I get this game?
Not sure I want to dig out the bone
Not sure I want to dig out the bone
I mean Rayman Origins is prettier
It certainly doesn't have better platforming than Celeste. Celeste has more mechanics and far better level design.
I might try that but I whish they would explain what it does...I thought maybe it was some kind of co-op thing...? what does it do...?
I dont hate Ori per say,the game is beautiful,music is great but it got too hard fast for me,that's why I compared it to Celeste...I guess I hate it because I suck at it and dont have the patience to ''get gud'' at it. ;)
