Board 8 » IF YOU LIKE: Celeste
If you like something, what else should you try? This is that: the topic. Simple!

I expect this series to mostly be about games, but this is open for plenty of other categories like movies, television shows, bands, food, and more. You can even vote across mediums if you really think Mario 3-fans would be most interested above anything else in the 1989 movie The Wizard, for example, go ahead! Just be clear please if you think theres room for confusion, especially if you go medium-hopping.

Im taking nominations as well (and hey, this is the first topic based on a nomination!), so go ahead and clearly name your nominations any time.

Ill tally the answers probably every two or three days this wont be daily most of the time then name the top three as the winning recommendations for each game. For example, SMB1 might have SMB3, SMW, and NSMB be listed as its top three to be recommended.

YESTERDAYS RECOMMENDATIONS:
Chrono Trigger: Radiant Historia, Final Fantasy 3/6, Sea of Stars

It was closer among these three recommendations than it was among any other competition. I will note here that CTs only sequel Chrono Cross did not get any votes at all here, much to the disappointment of apparently nobody. If youre looking for something like CT but isnt a game, the television series Dark had the most points among non-game options.

TODAYS GAME:
Celeste is an excellent indie darling about climbing a mountain, and it stands out for the way its story handles mental health through a video game while also featuring some extremely difficult gameplay in its later levels. What else would Celeste-fans like?

I think I'll just watch a playthrough. Insta-nope to this platforming if it's that crazy this early.

It's even more difficult. Extremely underrated and one of the best "modern" 2D platformers (although it's over 10 years old now).
azuarc wasn't even home. he was playing Magic the Gathering at his buddy's store, which is extremely easy to verify

You're good! I'll allow it here since it's crossing multimedia for the same IP -- I figure that's rarer and harder for people to do.

Main thing I want to avoid is platformers getting a +3 vote for things like Mario (1 and 3) or +3 Mario (series). In that sort of situation, when dealing within the same medium, I'd like to see precision with those votes. Stretching outside of the medium gets more leniency like what you did here.

+1 VVVVVV
+1 Cloudberry Kingdom
+1 The End is Nigh

Almost went for a Rayman-rep. Not all of my recommendations have the same tone as Celeste despite the similar difficulty levels...but being a fan of Celeste tells me you're also a fan of good controls and good soundtracks while you go fail awhile.

+3 The King's Bird
+2 Aeterna Noctis
+1 Dustforce

Apparently I'm gonna make a habit out of giving my +3s to stuff no one else is voting for, but I'd really encourage folks to give King's Bird a look. Very innovative precision platformer and it's gorgeous.

I heard about The King's Bird once before and was interested, then I completely forgot the name and couldn't find it again. It's less than $3 on Steam right now so I might check it out.
"You're childish. What are you getting? Are you getting strawberry? Ha! That's such a childish flavor, only children eat strawberry."
I never played it but can see why from its trailer.
