I'm a sucker for such detailed pixelated art styles.

Does this mean it's leaving early access?

Anyway, I've heard good things about Dead Cells, so it seems like a great addition to the library.

IGN gave their first 10/10 for this year to Celeste. I can already see why even though I just started playing it.

I can't say I've heard much of Celeste. Is there anything in particular about it that's making it super popular like the story? Or just in general a very well made game

@MisterPi As I said, I haven't played much yet. I've only finished the first chapter but so far the things I enjoy are its game mechanics, level design and music. I missed one collectible in the first chapter (two paths, I apparently chose progress) but I decided I'd pick it up later because I can already see myself playing the game again as soon as I've finished it.

A couple of video reviews for Celeste.

It sounds great. It's just for me when I see these pixelated graphics I kind of sigh a little, that's just me. It's reviewing very well so far, 94% from 6 reviews on Metacritic.

Multiple RETAIL games are on sale now for the eShop, like Doom, ARMS, and Mario + Rabbids. Pick them up if you're interested!

It's already on the front page for the download page of this week, but it's still worth mentioning.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE To be fair, Celeste was originally designed for PICO-8 so it kind of has an excuse for the visual style. I'm personally not tired of pixel art, possibly because I like to make some myself but I can see why others might be.

I love good pixel graphics, but Celeste's low-detail pixel art is a bit of a turn off.

The music seems pretty solid, though. Too bad the asking price is so high.

Secret of Mana may come, down the line.

But Square Enix talks about bringing alot of games to Switch, even when they're held hostage by other companies, which means I don't put much stock into what they say. DQ Builders is already releasing on Switch even despite a sequel being worked on, no excuse for a newer game.

Like Final Fantasy XIV, which they said will only come if there's cross platform play, something Sony will intentionally withhold to prevent the game coming to other platforms... more evidence of tactics used for those who still somehow think they don't do everything in their power to get as many games on their console and stay off others)

@JaxonH About that "No excuse for a newer game" regarding DQ Builders...

Guess whats coming to Switch?

@YummyHappyPills
Huh?

I was going to wait and get Celeste further down the line but those reviews are making it hard to resist. I just bought Zero Gunner 2 and Earth Wars last night and planned to get Strikers 1945 II and Space Dave today. I think I'll change that to Strikers and Celeste. I'll be buying it from the US Eshop though as it's only £14 when converted, a saving of £4.

@JaxonH Dragon Quest Builders 2 was confirmed for Switch and PS4 you know.

We aren't getting the first game and that's it. Its the first game and then the second at hopefully the same time as the PS4 release.

@YummyHappyPills Ehm, good sir, you're kinda wrong there: https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/dragon-quest-builders-s... I've got it pre-ordered.

@MFD Kind of wrong on what?

I said we are getting not just the first game like Jax said. We are getting the first game and then, at a later date, in future, hopefully at the same time as the PS4, the second game: Dragon Quest Builders 2.

@YummyHappyPills DQ2 is already confirmed. Also this was your quote "We aren't getting the first game and that's it."

@MFD Did you read the second sentence there buddy?

We call that a British turn of phrase.

"You aren't just getting X and calling it a day"

"You aren't just getting Dragon Quest Builders and that's it, no more for you."

That's what I meant.

And yes, DQB2 is confirmed. That's what I was correcting him on, as he didn't seem to know that.

IGN gives XBC2 an 8.5 and this piece of indie trash gets a 10/10 screw this game.

"Indie trash"

Aight. Seems people can't share opinions respectfully now.
