Hi, lately my girlfriend has been playing a LOT of Celeste. It's an excellent game but I'm starting to become a little irritated by the constant music of the same game ( Celeste has great music ofc but maybe not all day long ). She 100%ed the game and immediatly started a new save right after.

She also 100%ed Mario Wonder so it looks like her favorite genre are precision platformers.

I don't know much about platformers so i was wondering if you had suggestions for someone who likes really challenging platforming, with nothing else challenging ( for example she didn't like Hollow Knight because of the exploration part ).

Shes plays on a Switch 2

Super Meat Boy is pretty similar

Spelunky ? blasphemous ?

Great idea honestly shame on me for not having thought about it, thank you for the suggestion

Good games but these aren't "pure" platformers so i don't think she will like them :/

Rayman Legends is a really good platformer. I think it has a switch version.

Its a 16 year old game at this point, so pretty easy to forget about! I remember having a great time playing it though!

Pizza Tower is the best thing since Celeste but maybe try talking to your girlfriend about using headphones while she plays the games she likes if the music annoys you

If it's slightly more nuanced than liking any 'pure platformer'... I mean what she might like is the combination of artstyle + gameplay... someone mentioned Super Meat Boy, and she may bounce off that for vibe alone, as I did; it is not a personally enjoyable theme or world to hang out in nor character to connect with like Celeste or Mario, but only she will know. Another person said Rayman Legends, which is a better recommendation if she does ultimately care about those other things. I would also recommend Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze.

Rayman Legends was her last obsession ( it lasted months )

I love Pizza Tower i played it on my Steamdeck, but I didn't know it released on Switch too, thank you!

Damn.

What about 3D platforming ?

Like… Neon White ?

She didn't like Mario Odyssey nor any other 3D platforming game so unfortunately i'd say she doesnt like it 😞 She's very picky that's why i have troubles suggesting her something lol
