Nobody can complain when you're getting the 2018 GOTY (and I'm being deadly serious - it's absolutely my GOTY).
Actually I can.. I already own it :)
It totally does.
Well, if you like platformers of course, and I'd worry if you didn't. It's GOAT-tier platformer.
Well said :)Celeste is a game of the gen candidate.
It would've been my game of the gen if it wasn't for Hellblade.
So in my opinion there's absolutely no need for a "and I'm being deadly serious" note. This game is an absolute gem and is one of the finest games ever crafted. Now if you're not into 2-d platformers and you're not into pixel art, I could see that person skipping over the game. But hey, some people aren't into hardcore Souls-like games or roguelikes (which is I will never ever play Dark Souls, Bloodbourne, Demon Souls, Ashen, or Below, etc...) and apparently those are good games.
Really I'm just trying to say that Celeste is a heavy hitter that deserves its spot among the best of the best.
It has fantastic game play, incredible level design and lots of replay value with the extra B-side / C-side levels.
Just beat Celeste in PS4 and my wife is about to beat it too. Truly transformative game and a masterpiece. Everyone should play it
I've heard that said, could you explain why exactly?Participating in programs like PS+ and GwG generally lead to higher sales of the game outside of the subscriber base. These programs tend to supplement, not cannibalize, sales.
Hmm, thanks for your input! I suppose that makes sense, I just figured all that hype would just lead to more Game Pass subscriptions, because why not just do that instead? Interesting to see, none the less.I'm more of a what's happening type analyst, more than why. But my hypotheses would include that participating games are engaged with more, people tell their friends & fam about the games, or those on friends lists would see the games being played, more general conversation takes place around the games (like this thread and social), the games get more promotional placement on storefronts due to participation, etc... participating in these programs tends to have a viral effect, at least for the games I've worked sales planning on or looked at since.

So uhm we recycle GWG now?

This month we got Iconoclasts and SOMA, though.I've discovered quite a few great indie games on PS+ but they have abandoned those a while ago now with their shitty triple AAAAAAA offerings.
Hope to see Celeste there soon too though, seeing it pop up in GOTY lists made me curious again even though I really didn't like the artstyle in the footage I've seen and I'm not gonna buy it at this point looking at my backlog.
Kinda, it's not easy but not Super Meat Boy levels of hard.Genuine question - is celeste hard? I heard the word "platformer" and saw a screen with spikes...so I'm a bit worried about my lack of skill. Is this the game with optional B and C sides and strawberries? I'm trying to avoid spoilers given how good everyone says it is (and seeing the dev team up on stage at the game awards).

OK cool - i completed most of the stuff in Guacamelee (everything except the crazy optional trials I think)...some of which I found pretty hard and took several tries....Any idea if it's like that game?
Can't tell if serious... this month has what many consider to be one of the best games of 2018. Seems pretty good to me.
The quality of Celeste doesn't excuse recycling games.Can't tell if serious... this month has what many consider to be one of the best games of 2018. Seems pretty good to me.
I wonder the same thing... maybe eventually that will happen, and mass market is just a bit slower to adopt for now, or don't know of the programs? Really hard to say, mass market consumers sometimes just don't pay attention to these things too closely. And some people just don't like subscriptions I guess? Don't know for sure.
Damn, Celeste is awesome. More people need to play that game.
I'll give the others a go but Far Cry 2 without the ability to save anywhere doesn't sound like my idea of fun lol
8-bit graphics AND puzzle-based platforming? Wow, the two things I hate most combined into one game. Won't even try it.
Splitscreen mode in WRC 8 looks like something I've always wanted, though!
