    I seriously recommend checking out Celeste if you’re into platformers with the difficulty of dark souls. The main game is completable in 8-10 hours, but theres about 2-3 times more content in that game. There is also a speedrunning and a modding community.

      That game stands out in so many unique ways. The story is emotionally mature, the challenge is very tough but very fair, and the soundtrack by Lena Raine is gorgeous

      I’ve heard so much about Celeste and have never gotten around to checking it out, so I was really pleased to see it coming to Gamepass, I’m going to have to try it.

        Something about Celeste is truly rewarding. You’re very right about the challenge being fair, and I think that’s what does it. It’s definitely tough, but not unreasonably so. It’s so worth it.

        Edit: replied to the wrong comment, but my point still stands haha

      It’s hard but the levels are one screen long and you restart instantly on death (or after pressing a button). So you don’t have to replay lots of stuff and you don’t lose any progress. I don’t like Dark Souls but I loved Celeste.

      I’ve heard nothing but good things about Celeste. It’s really not my style of game but I’ll definitely be trying it out when it hits Game Pass.
