Celeste headlines Xbox Games With Gold January titles

Lara Croft! Far Cry 2! More!

Microsoft has announced January's Xbox Live Games with Gold titles.

The headline game is Celeste, which Xbox One Gold subscribers can download for free during the month of January.

Celeste is a platformer Christian Donlan adored. Here's a snippet from his review:

"Celeste is brutal, but it's also sweet, and in its handling of the two elements it finds both a touching, timely narrative and an enviable sense of balance. What a game."

The other Xbox One Gold game is WRC 6 FIA World Rally Championship, which is free to download from 16th January to 15th February.
