Ori and the Blind Forest
I was reminded by![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
shadaras posting about it that there's a sequel to this out, so I steeled myself to tackle the part I was stuck on again and finally managed to get through it. So I've finished it now and found 100% of the collectibles, so I think I'm done!
I'd originally been playing on the TV computer (with controller), and I'm not sure if there's a delay between the computer and TV or if I just need to be sitting closer, but I was a lot more successful once I moved upstairs to the gaming PC (still with controller though, keyboard defeated me).
It's very beautiful and the gameplay is reasonably fun, although I found it frustrating in the beginning because you don't have any of the abilities that make it fun until much further into the game. (Nature of the genre, I guess!) Plot-wise it's a) very sad, and b) a bit slight and predictable. But overall I enjoyed it.
Ironically, from what I've seen of the sequel, I don't think it'll suit my play style. But it still looks incredibly beautiful!
Celeste
I'm finally making progress in Celeste again, after taking several months break. I'm probably about 90% through Chapter 9 by now, although it'll probably still be a while yet before I finish it (because chapter 9 is hard. Since I'm still mid-chapter I don't have access to my journal, but for those keeping track at home, I've included a progress table ( below the cut (contains spoilers for post-game content) )
