This is the first time I've felt the need to post a Steam review. But this game is really something else. It's been years since a (platformer) game gave me a legitimate thumb cramp. It's also been years since a game's story gave me actual emotional pangs. Celeste did both.As far as gameplay is concerned, it's an intense, precise platformer in the tradition of games like Super Meatboy (albeit in a far more charming package, in my opinion). The controls are extremely tight, the mechanics are few, but well implemented, and the learning curve is reasonable. At the start of the game, I was thinking "well, this is pretty simple." By the last chapter, the recurring thought was "How the #$%@ did I just do that?". Let me be clear. Your deaths will be in the hundreds, possibly thousands, before the end of the game. But the fast respawns, almost constant checkpoints, vibrant pixelated landscapes and fantastic soundtrack tend to soften the blow when you fail. In many similar "expert" platformers, repeated deaths eventually lead me to rage quit (and potentially, uninstall). I am not a masochist when it comes to games. I want to enjoy what I'm playing. Yet despite my innumerable mistimed jumps, unwise allocation of stamina (a key mechanic to the game) and just BARELY missed platforms, I found myself starting the room again before I had time to think about smashing the Save & Quit option. I WANTED to keep going. And every time I made it to the next checkpoint, it felt rewarding. In some ways, I suppose I began to identify with Madeline's determination to conquer the mountain. Which leads me to the second factor, the story.Madeline is a girl who is running away from her past. It never goes into detail about what exactly she's been through, but the dialogue is formed in a way that makes it easy to relate, or perhaps even insert your own backstory in some sort of subconscious manner. For anyone who's ever dealt with depression, anxiety, or low self-esteem, this will resonate in a big way. The constant struggle against one's darker nature and the compulsion to self-sabotage is played out beautifully onscreen. The game's story is not complicated, and although there is a fair amount of dialogue in the interludes between challenges, it never feels bloated or tacked-on in the way many similar games might handle story. It may not speak to all gamers, but I think for a lot of us, Madeline's shoes feel like a good fit. It's not very often that I find myself identifying so closely with a pixelated sprite in an indie game, but I was right there for this one. The combination of fantastic gameplay and a relatable story on their own would be enough for me to give this game a 9\/10, but I have to mention the graphics and soundtrack. This game is BE-YOO-TEE-FULL. There's been a lot of pixel art games coming out in the last few years, of varying quality. I tend to enjoy the style when it's done well, and in this case, it's nearly flawless. Despite the relatively low pixel count, the environments are constant eye-candy. It gave me flashbacks to Yoshi's Island on the SNES (which has possibly the loveliest art style of its era). Each new area feels unique and vibrant, and I found myself excited to both explore the nooks and crannies in search of the more elusive strawberries (the game's main collectible item), and progress to the next chapter. Additionally, each new area has a fantastic musical track that balances lilting piano melodies with atmospheric synth work that ranges from soothing to intensely foreboding. The soundtrack drives you forward as much as the story and gameplay itself.There's a lot of great indie games out there in Steamland, and many of them are worth playing. Of the ones that are, most of them have at least one or two elements that are simply exceptional, whether it be the art style, music, story, game mechanics, or some combination of. Celeste hits all these marks. My only complaint is that the game could have been longer (I finished it in about 8 hours), but if you're the type to go after every last collectible, I'm sure you'll get quite a bit more out of it and there IS an extra section that can only be unlocked via certain collectibles. For the time I spent with it though, I enjoyed Celeste more than the vast majority of comparable games that I've ever played. It's challenging to play (and immensely satisfying to beat), beautiful to look at, and injected with JUST the right amount of emotional impetus to make you root for its protagonist, all the way from base camp to the summit.In short, buy this game.. One of the best singleplayer games I've ever played.The gameplay is good and the soundtrack awesome.I can easily assume that it's between my top 10!. ahh celeste, it's a charming platformer with a cute story.this game is a challenging one, hardest platformer i have ever played.the game is about claiming a mountain both metaphorically and literally and it does this concept so well.this game is very sympathtic towards the player, giving tons of check points and giving you letter to incorege you to keep moving forward.even if you don't like platformers i think that you should try this one.. This game is absolutely amazing. The movement is smooth and allows for good players to do more complex moves, the movement momentum this game has is incredible and never feels weird or bad. I tried replaying Super Meat Boy after beating this game for the second time and I just couldn't do it, this game is a one of a kind experience that has beaten every single platformer I've ever played in every single way.Music is always on point (I'd recommend listening to the soundtrack on spotify, they are made by Lena Raine.The B-sides also have great music, my favourite one is Reflection - Center of the Earth Mix by Jukio Kallio). The story is also really good (especially for people who have suffered from anxiety or similar things).If you like a hard platforming challenge that always feels fair and beatable by improving, I'd really recommend playing this game and finishing the B-sides and C-sides that you unlock after beating all B-sides and getting all crystal hearts\t .This is another one of those games that you wish there was more after you finish everything. My only problem with this game (and this might be a personal problem) was that getting all crystal hearts on all levels. It was really boring and time-consuming, and I can't image doing that without searching for most of them on youtube. My favourite part was the main story (especially the wind levels, for some reason I love those), and after that the C-sides\t. Easy 10\/10. Totally worth your money. It does get hard, but that is just an added challenge. very good game, good ost and gameplay and story. A really beautiful game. Can get frustrating but has a great story and soundtrack. 11\/10. bad gam to hard. I absolutely adored Celeste! The game is extremely difficult, so it's definitely not for everyone, but they have an Assist mode that allows you to tweak a few different parameters in the game to make the game accessible to anyone. Honestly, I'd sing this game's praises for Assist mode alone (It seriously is done *that* well!), but Celeste also has varied platforming mechanics and great puzzle and platforming design that will keep you going level to level. On top of that, the story and the characters in the game are charming as hell. Strawberries provide optional challenge, if that's your thing, and B-sides turn things up to 11 if dying 1500 times just isn't enough for you.
