It's time to discuss the indie game of the year.

its more than that, easily the best 2D platformer in years

is it that good?

Better than hollow knight or super meat boy?

yes

to be quite honest the artstyle REALLY put me off on this game.
but i bought it anyways and its a super solid platformer that every fan of the genre should play desu

So what makes this game good? Looks like another metroidvania pixelshit to me.

no

maybe

I don't know

I know, im tired indie games are just snes/ps1 2d games, i know it is more cheap and easy, but at this point the market is saturated.

>another metroidvania
It's not a metroidvania at all.

>le epic indie with retro style graphics
Nostalgia fags will defend this tumblr-tier shit.

>caring more about graphics than gameplay
I hate nu-Sup Forums.

desu it depends what youre into. its got more of a story than SMB, but more focused on platforming than hollow knight. the way i see it its just a really solid and creative pure platforming game with a good balance of challenge and fun.

isnt this game about accepting the bad parts of you and the constant feel of anxiety?

>Leave Celeste to me

Can you repeat the question ?

>best indie game of the year
>not iconoclasts

The art just screams so much tumblr my gut wrenches whenever I look at it. It's like the artist never looked at any piece of art outside of tumblr and made the art of his game to look like tumblr art.

no it's about girl climbing magic mountain

Nice buzzword.

iconoclasts was pretty cool but this game is more focused on platforming and does it a million times better. if you like pure platformers with a decent challenge curve then Celeste is pretty much perfect.

yeah it kinda is tumblr-y, especially with the bearded brown man who looks like a fucking lumberjack. But if you dont pay too much attention to it and just play the game, it is fucking solid.

Also helps that I actually like pixelshit, especially when the animation is good, and Celeste's animation is - however good animation can be with so few pixels.

No it's about ab*****n

>worse version of meat boy
I wish games could be original for once and not just add a waifu character
On top of that the art is so shit it doesn't even matter

i'm convinced everyone that's saying this now are falseflaggers.
