#154 - Celeste.
I loved this game. I have heard the comparison to Super Meat Boy many times, but I would have to say that even without assist mode, there cannot be any comparison between the two games difficulty wise. Yes, Celeste is a very difficult game, but even the most difficult parts take under 45 seconds of solid tight gameplay. You can keep trying as many times as you need to, and only have to get lucky/good once. Super Meat Boy takes 15+ minutes of perfection for the more difficult worlds. Maybe if there was a trophy for getting all the golden berries, but even then, it would not be as grueling as SMB. I also have heard some people complain about the fact that assist mode doesn't disable trophies. Sure, a very small part of me considers that, but then the much larger part of me loves the fact that the game is inclusive to anyone who wants to pick it up and play it. In the end, I know I did it without assist mode, and that is all that really matters. If you need/want assist mode, all the power to you. Everyone should try and experience every part of this game, and if you feel accomplished beating the difficult C-sides with assist mode on, then that's fantastic.
As a side note, Mrs. Bee tends to shy away from difficult games. A few years ago, she never would have even tried Celeste, let alone stuck with it for any length of time. She enjoyed watching me struggle so much, that she wanted to try it out, and I am very proud to say that she beat level 1, all berries, and the B side, all on her own. It was cute to see how happy she was when she got passed a difficult section, and when she finally beat the B-Side. Sadly she had to do it on my profile, as it would have been too much work moving her system to the big tv, and she didn't want to use the smaller one at the time. The only thing that means is that she doesn't have the trophy that I can use to brag for her online, but that's just a small downside.
Fairy Fencer F update. So, I went wild on the grinding as I watched some Youtube videos, and now I am over level 130 ... Nothing in the game could hold a candle to me right now, and I could just burn through the last two playthroughs for the platinum, but that small part of me is still somewhat interested in the story, as bad as it is, so I am still just moving slowly. I will probably give up on the story at some point, and just burn through what is left of the game, but still making slow progress.

How the heck do people complete Overcooked All You Can Eat (Episode 1) solo??? I literally just beat 'The Peckening' with ONE SECOND left on the counter (this after spending like 3 hours on it).
