The Incredible (and Incredibly Introspective) Celeste made fun of our home consoles in 2018 and sent us all on a journey of air attraction, strawberry picking and self-reflection. Now, three years later, the team a Games very well they’ve released a sequel … kind of.
Before Celeste era Celeste, was Celeste, a more simplistic game built into the Pico-8 engine and launched in 2016. This version, now known as Celeste Classic, has since been overshadowed by its older sister, but that doesn’t mean the developers have forgotten about it.
Enter Celeste 2: Lani’s Trek, a follow-up to the original Celeste which Extremely OK Games programmer Noel Berry says was done in just three days.
As its name suggests, this sequel is not about Celeste protagonist Madeline but a new character named Lani. Instead of using magical powers of air attraction, Lani’s walk in the Celestial sky revolves around a hook. Even though I’ve only played a few minutes so far, it’s hard the same way he did the previous one Celeste such fantastic games.
