Fans of tricky platformers will find much to love in the game's design, but it's also a perfect starting point for anyone new to the genre - perhaps even those actively averse to it. With a wonderfully evocative soundtrack and a whole host of creative ideas and plenty of additional challenges beyond the main campaign, Celeste manages to cram in a whole lot of goodness without ever missing a step. NES-inspired platformer Shovel Knight is getting a NES-inspired add-on: the three. Three optional battles added to the platformer. Battletoads is coming back with original developer. The frustration of dying for the thousandth time finds its counterweight in the gorgeously fluid ballet of a perfect run. The Battletoads have finally jumped into Shovel Knight on PC. But after testing the waters with cameos in Shovel Knight and Killer Instinct, that may change next year. Its serious themes of mental health and coming to terms with oneself are leavened by its joyous audiovisual design and a small cast of well-realised characters. Its sometimes brutal difficulty is softened by its innovative and inclusive approach to accessibility, thanks to a customisable Assist Mode that allows you to set the parameters. Celeste is a wonderful little platforming challenge that finds beauty in balance.
