Recently, a The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild speedrunner named Joedun pulled off the unthinkable. After more than 100 tries, they finally pulled off the perfect, no-damage run.

Celeste is one of the better platforming games to come out during the last generation of consoles.

Celeste was one of the best games to release last year and in my opinion, one of the greatest platformers of all time.
