May 26, 2026As a massive fan of Celeste, I believe TetherGeist earned the comparison the developers made to it, but more than that it stands on its own as one of the best precision platformers I’ve played on Switch or elsewhere. It takes a unique gameplay hook and finds a lot of interesting ways to iterate on it, and I highly recommend it to platformer fans who don’t mind a bit of challenge.

May 11, 2026Taking the side-scrolling precision platformer and adding a variety of traversal skills to the mix amps up the difficulty and variety, so be ready for some frustrations.

May 6, 2026Tethergeist is a great precision platformer. A flat narrative and some small visual bugs somewhat muddy the waters, but it’s filled with fresh ideas. The tether mechanic at its core tests your reflexes and brains in equal measure, and I found myself always on the hunt for the Atropa Blossoms. Between those levels, I found a lot of fun in interacting with villagers across the world. Perfectly paced, no one mechanic overstays its welcome, and it felt like it ended at the perfect time, around 10 hours in length. I’m not a completionist, but I can definitely see myself picking away at some collectibles. And if they ever drop a challenge level pack, testing my knowledge of all the tethers? I’ll be there day one.

May 14, 2026A precision platformer heavily inspired by Celeste. It also attempts to tell a story and surprise with skills, but each one is worse than the last, and the graphics aren't very appealing.
