Movement as pure pleasure, with the emotional core Celeste fans tend to be there for.

Hollow Knight
ActionIndiePlatformer
The same demand for precision, spent exploring a world instead of climbing a mountain.

3
Cuphead
ActionIndiePlatformer
The same 'one more try' loop, aimed at bosses instead of platforms. Just as fair, just as brutal.

Neon White
ActionShooterAdventure
Celeste's speedrun instinct made the whole game — replay each level until it's clean.

The purest form of the genre: instant restarts, no story between you and the next attempt.
