Celeste (One Standing)

You too are utterly insane.

Lads lads lads.

Lads.

I need to get working on them B-sides before this arrives.

Sent from Topic'it App

Definitely up for more of the best new game of 2018.

Going into this from a cold start is going to hurt!

I've still got a whole bunch of postgame untouched so I could ease myself in nicely.

Easing yourself in on the postgame?

Good luck

Acht, I'd forgotten how hard Matt said Chapter 9 would be. Harder than the C-sides, wasn't it? Might have to turn on all of the Assist Modes...

...only I won't because I'm stubborn. No, it's endless pain for me, I'm afraid!

A few articles popping up saying this will have 100 levels, now is each tile set within a chapter classed as a level?

100 levels or 100 scenes or something like that anyway.

Can't wait? /

It took me a few tries to ease back in to the game and that was only with the B-sides so dedinitely might need a few practice runs before chapter 9.

You know how you already have more than enough to play in September? Well, Chapter 9 comes out on 9/9! Can't wait to break every controller in the house in rage!

Seriously, I know the date thing is cute, and God knows I love Celeste, but maybe this is one for December.

9/9/19 should be for the Dreamcast's 20th anniversary only and nothing else.

So how is everyone doing?

When they say "levels" in the blog post on their site, I'm assuming "levels" equates to each individual screen being classed as its own level, then?

I reckon so! I've not actually tried it yet.

I've filed this one under 'play in December' for now.

All I can tell you is that it is both LONG and HARD

I've not finished it yet and I've been playing for like 5 hours?

You can tell that GNamer doesn't have a 'no context' thread can't you?

...it should.

Aye, I heard the current world record holder for the game ended up taking 4 hours or so to beat it, so it suggests that weak scum like myself will spend a bit longer on it. That's a fair chunk of content for diddly squat - top marks, Celeste.

I'm on the assumed final screen now and it is torture. Not sure how I will complete it

I really wish this came out a few months back when I playing it again, I feel like if I tried it now I'd need a good few days to be good enough to get anywhere.

I finished it, absolutely loved it.

9h25m and 3202 deaths

This is my worry. It's the reason I haven't gone back to Guacamelee 2: I'll be stepping back into a game I barely remember that relies on complete familiarity with the controls (along with other things, like patience) to ace.

Still going to try it, but... I'm worried I might have to resort to Assist Mode.

It all came back to me surprisingly quick, but I'm also sure my b-side and c-side completion helped considerably.

The chapter does have a difficulty curve and does start off easier, just not easy. I think you'll get back into it once you sit down and start playing.

Ok, I finished chapter 1 yesterday. Here are my first impressions...



Yeah. I'm looking forward to tucking into more of this. Super Meat Boy is one of my favourite platformers, and a lot of that has to do with the tightness of the controls, the short levels, and the instant respawns. Celeste ticks those boxes too, although I'm still getting used to the moves. Definitely going to be playing this in spades.
