10 Best Video Games Of 2018 You're Not Playing

5. Celeste

Speaking of incredible 2D platformers, Celeste is a Super Meat Boy-ish trial n' error-a-thon, but loaded with metaphor and symbolism.

See, you're playing as young girl, Madeleine as she attempts to climb the mountain Celeste. Only, the more you play and attempt these supremely pixel-precise jumps, the more you'll uncover a wider narrative on mental health; on dealing with life's challenges, hardships, and how we can sometimes be our own worst enemies when it comes to anxiety and doubt.

It's by combining these elements that Celeste shines so brightly. It might actually be Game of the Year, though time will tell. For now, if you want something that's equally driven as a story and the addictive drive of a meticulous platformer, look no further.
