Let's go with Celeste! I love this game! No, I won't transition - but this is some truly great stuff (if you skip all dialogue).
This week's entry will be Celeste
Help Madeline survive her inner demons on her journey to the top of Celeste Mountain, in this super-tight platformer from the creators of TowerFall. Brave hundreds of hand-crafted challenges, uncover devious secrets, and piece together the mystery of the mountain.

Celeste was enjoyable, I gave it a 9. I've heard whisperings about the devs being r-slurred, but I try my utmost to separate the art from the artist.

All precision platformers are
games. It's a genre for neurodivergents who have no hobbies except obsessively replaying the same things endlessly to see smaller and smaller improvements.

I've heard good things about it but the whole "IT'S ALL LE ALLEGORY FOR MENTAL HEALTH"
is really putting me off. I'll probably reluctantly play it at some point but that fact by itself caps its maximum rating at 6/10
Also I'll definitely be pirating it cause

Gameplay is ok, it's a fun challenge but it suffers from "too tight syndrome": since you die if you deviate even the slightest from the pre-established "path" it's more about learning the "level moves" in each level than becoming gud at movement and then reacting to stuff. It's ok.

yeah, it might be more puzzle than platformer. you gotta work out the one way to get through each screen.
