Celeste is $2 right now, I got it for free on the Epic Games store but I got it again for the steam cloud saves.

I got Doom Eternal and started playing that, it’s actually really good. I feel like I’m pretty bad at it but that means lots of room for improvement.

Of course Terraria is a must-buy if you don’t have it already. Same with Portal and such. Stardew Valley is also really good, but I didn’t really enjoy it until I played multiplayer with my friends.

Celeste is fantastic. One of the best 2D platformers games I’ve ever played

I absolutely love Doom. Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal are some of the best singeplayer FPS games I’ve played.

Doom 2016 wouldn’t start for me. The loading screen just hung forever. Weirdly other people had the same complaint. If I knew I could refund it a second time I might try it again.

If you can get it working somehow, I would definitely recommend playing it! Earlier this year I played through 95% of the game on my Steam Deck (using Vulkan) then switched to my gaming desktop for the final few bits where I needed keyboard and mouse to get the job done. It’s easily one my favorite games ever now.

Yes! With 1000hrs in Terraria, I agree. Terraria is a must-try. It might not click with you, but if it does…

As for SDV- I’d like to add that I very specifically do not like multiplayer. A large part of the fun of it, to me, is being able to play at my own pace. Having to set that pace with someone else isn’t enjoyable to me. Not that there’s anything wrong with enjoying multiplayer, I just don’t want anyone to think that there’s a ‘proper’ way to play the game. There’s not- you do you. The only exception is choosing jojamart. That is objectively wrong.

Yeah, maybe I was too impatient back then, but for me it felt like mostly a whole lot of work, just watering the plants every day and trying to make money.

When I picked it up again later playing splitscreen with family, and then again with a friend, then we could get hyped for some goal we could all work towards. And if I was bored doing my thing then I could look over at what other people were doing, or just chat. And it’s fun to see them running around interacting with the NPCs and doing their things as well.

Sometimes it can be a little annoying yeah, like if they want to do something together while I’m busy watering the plants or whatever.

I feel like I’d never be able to complete Celeste due to it’s difficulty, any point in playing it?

It’s doable. I play the hardest optional challenges on 90% speed. I don’t play a lot of platformers but was able to beat the normal game without using assist mode.

Yeah I’m not a pro at tricky platformers but I was able to get all the missions done without adjusting difficulty or using assists. What people don’t realize is when you die you resume immediately where you left off so you never have to backtrack or replay levels. If you don’t get frustrated banging your head against the wall, it is actually pretty easy.

I felt like that about VVVVVV but I beat that one. Celeste looks very similar. I’m a fairly casual gamer.

It does have assist options if that’s what you want, Game Maker’s Toolkit actually made a video about it. I haven’t finished it myself but it was pretty fun, even just exploring and getting the story bits and such.
