Kinda cute. Don't like the dash-based platforming. Played on PS5 and would frequently accidentally dash the wrong way. Skill issue, obviously, but I took a good hard look at myself and thought "am I actually interested enough in this game for other reasons to try to get better at this" and decided no, I was not. Could I have turned on some of the assists? Sure but

Honestly what heralded the beginning of the end for me was the strawberries. No reason to get em - great, right? Except when I'd go into a screen and see one, it's like the game was directly asking me "hey, are you enjoying playing Celeste? Would you like to play some more Celeste, for fun?" and my answer was often "no, actually". Thought about that for a few minutes and decided I was done.

Shelving instead of Abandoning because maybe I'll eventually give it a try on PC so I can cut out some of the dash mistakes with M+KB but like... eh

I also hear a lot about the music in this but didn't care for it basically at all. hides
