You're viewing a single thread.
Tunic - at face value it is a gorgeous, brilliantly fun soulslike. Beneath the surface, however, it becomes apparent that the "souls like" part of it is a facade for the true game. Probably one of the single greatest gaming experiences of all time.
The Witcher 3 - it often goes on sale for like... £3 or something ridiculous, and its a standout example of an excellent open world RPG.
Celeste - possibly the single greatest (2d) platforming game ever made, with a soundtrack that is truly unforgettable by the great Lena Raine. Also if you play it you'll find out you're trans*
*(your mileage may vary)
I will always say TUNIC in these threads. One of the best gaming experiences of my life.
I'm a similar vein, Outer Wilds is also excellent.
There definitely different experiences. But, they are both a "go in blind and just explore" kind of game.
Yeah I adore Outer Wilds and I think the storytelling experience of it is gorgeous - one of my all time favourites. I settled on not mentioning it here because I think its a tad less accessible due to the ship movement.
Done Celeste... Well... Still playing. Done A-B-C sides. Now I'm onto the D sides which are fan made. Way harder but it's really well made. Feel official. There's also the Stawberry Jam mod which offer like a full game worth of content. Didn't play that much yet.
Its in my highest ranked game. It's up there with a very few masterpieces. Like top 5 ish ever. I don't think it's for everybody but goddamn this game is something.
I loved strawberry jam, what a monumental fan work.
I think Celeste can be for everybody, with assist mode you can tune the difficulty to your liking if you're a less experienced gamer, and the game encourages you the whole way through a well balanced difficulty curve (IMO).
It's true that the balance curve is one of the best.
I played Celeste. Later I figured out the word for the way I've always felt was trans. These events were unrelated, but the correlation remains.
Another "victim" of the Celeste "curse". Glad you found yourself! :3
