[Revisited] I’m Both Happy and Disappointed That I Waited So Long to Play A Hat in Time
It’s amazing how much staying powers some games can have.

Getting My Butt Kicked in Celeste
Over the years, I’ve been slowly catching up on a whole bunch of popular indie games. Undertale, Cuphead, Hollow Knight, and most recently, Celeste. Like Cuphead, I went into Celeste with a mixture of excitement and trepidation because I had heard that this game was brutally difficult. On the surface, the game follows Madeline as…
