Celeste
Description
Celeste is a platform game in which players control a girl named Madeline as she makes her way up a mountain while avoiding various deadly obstacles. Along with jumping and climbing up walls for a limited amount of time, Madeline has the ability to perform a mid-air dash in the eight cardinal and intercardinal directions. This move can only be performed once and must be replenished by either landing on the ground, hitting certain objects such as replenishing crystals, or moving to a new screen (although the player is granted a second dash later on in the game). Throughout each level, the player will encounter additional mechanics, such as springs that launch the player or feathers that allow brief flight, and deadly objects such as spikes which kill Madeline (returning her to the start of the room).
Players can also access an Assist Mode, where they can change some attributes about the game's physics. Some of these include: infinite air-dashes, invincibility, or slowing the game's speed. Hidden throughout most "A-Side" chapters of the game are optional strawberries, obtained through challenging platforming or puzzle solving sections, which slightly affect the game's ending depending on how many are collected, as well as a cassette tape that unlocks a "B-Side", which provides harder platforming puzzles using the mechanics introduced in the A-Side.

I thought I was ordering the actual game. I know it hasn't come out yet but wanted to pre-order it for my Grandson for Christmas. Well to my surprise I actually ordered the download instead! I know nothing about these downloads and now I do not have a gift for my Grandson to unwrap! And more maddening than anything, it is not refundable even when it has not been downloaded! Very unhappy!

If you've been into Smash Bros. since its early days, or have ever wanted to get into the series this is the best entry point for newcomers. With every character that has been in all the previous games back and this one, plus a good number of newcomers, and with more on the way in the form of DLC. Many quality of life changes have made this more accessible to beginners while also helping you train to get better to reach a more competitive level. There are hundreds of hours of playtime in this for a single player, but of course the best fun is with friends and family.
