Celeste is excellent. Worth having on the switch for the controllers and convenience. Enjoyed the playstyle and the story a lot.

Towerfall is a great couch game for parties, socially distanced of course.

I absolutely agree; an excellent indie platformer that earned a 10 from IGN. Death will happen often, but reloads are instant and each segment is very short so you never really feel penalized. I didn't find it necessary, but I heard there's a great assist mode with lots of options if folks are concerned about the difficulty. The devs also added the DLC to it after for free. I paid full price and felt it was well worth it.

Towerfall was also good (I played it on Vita), but it's really a party game that you need others also playing to fully enjoy it.

Can someone speak to playing Celeste in handheld mode? Just want to make sure it translates before purchasing

One of the only games I preferred hand held due to the 16 bit art work.

I cannot speak high enough about this game. It's challenging, but it's sooo good and so much fun for single player gaming. (either handheld or on TV)

Towerfall is one of the few games that my wife and 9 & 14 year old daughters will play, and all have a blast. If you have a switch and a fam or party, it's a must have.

I have played Celeste for nearly 290 hours, broken a controller playing it (not from throwing), and bought it at least three times.

If you like being challenged and being asked to go just a little bit farther, again, and again, this is your game.

I'd like to point out that while Towerfall is mostly advertised on the strength of its party modes, it also has a great single player/co-op mode that will definitely challenge and improve your skills. I recommend picking it up just for that even if you know you won't have friends readily available to play the party modes (especially during the pandemic).
