Celeste

I love the music of this game. There are a lot of music's from games and this game, no master piece is on top 3 od my favorite video games music (gameplay is fun for the most of the game)

Just finished chapter 6 as of writing this. The game is amazing! Dying somehow doesn't feel stressful, and completing a difficult jump feels so rewarding! The storyline is amazing and the characters have so much emotion. It's very difficult but also very fun.

It's a very good game and my sister who used to be my brother won't stop playing it.

My all-time favorite platformer! The game play is fluid, the story is impactful and the art is amazing. You can really feel the love that when into this game while you play it...

And then you get to the later chapters and the 'cassettes' where the difficulty jumps astronomically. A real challenge which is pretty rare for games that emphasize on the story as much as Celeste does.

Experience this game for yourself, don't read any more reviews. This is a MUST GET.

It's addictive god help me I'm losing my will to resist it calls to me day and night I can't get away if you're reading this please ease my burden by buying it./.

A great game that can both be a challenge and easy. The story and music for this game is where this game shines the most. Both are very heartfelt.

just realized I never wrote a review for this game, not that it needs it. One of the most popular indie games of all time. Its the best platformer. Nothing else to it. gave me carpel tunnel tho. I played this game about 150 hours all devices, had it on my switch first but my switch is an old man, dying of old age. had it on gamepass for awhile then I stopped paying my subscription so I bought it here. best game next to terraria

double dipped for this game on steam after originally buying on switch. one of my favorite games ever

the best platforming game, music 10/10 I listen to it even when not playing, the platforming is also 10/10, every chapter brings new mechanics and the mechanics are pure gold. the story is also just great and the pixel art is also great. the game is just 10/10. also even after finishing the game and all the side levels there are so many awasome mods to play. (though the game itself is long enough on it's own) (also the difficulty is awasome)

The graphics are surreal, the story is great, the difficulty is on the harder side but still manageable, farewell might be a bit hard for some. The best indie game imo. definitely worth buying.

Bought at the original price, well worth it. Simple movements yet infinite possibilities. One thing I particularly love is that all the levels are so well designed that they do not focus merely on inputs but also on strategies. With that being said, it's still a very hard game and B sides and C sides are probably not for me...
I also love the art and the music.

Amazing visuals, touching story, optimized and most importantly best 2d gameplay of all time
you can tell the gameplay is really well thought and has been passionately studied to make it as fair as possible
Totally one of my favorite games! absolutely recommend

The main story is a 10/10 experience, the difficulty curve is quite down-to-earth, and progress is rewarding.
The side challenges however are not what I'd call "fun", but they are worth it if you, like myself, don't care about your sanity. Literally hardest game I have ever played. I look foward to meeting who designed the final room of 7C in hell.

As a trans person myself, i absolutely love this game straight off the bat
But bias aside, celeste really is a good game, it's infuriating yet you feel rewarded for all the struggles you may (or may not) have to go through.
also the ost is a banger.

celeste is the best game ever, you want celeste, you need celeste, everybody needs celeste, buy celeste, i love celeste.

I put off writing a review for Celeste for a long time, this game is really intertwined with me and my own personal journeys through adversities and my love for mountaineering.

Celeste is one of the few games that successfully marries thematic expression with gameplay and no where is it better represented than the continuous process of dying, learning and trying again. What sets apart Celeste from other difficult platformers is its incredibly personal journey through the exploration of ones identity and the trials that come with it

I really adore Celeste, for a lot of reasons but at the end, it is simply a really good game that managed to be something more for the people who play it.

celeste is just the best precision platformer out there. if you like meat boy, play this game. if you like mario maker, play this game. wake tf up and beat the c-sides, then tell me you're bored. 10/10

You decide to climb a mountain that makes you feel like you're fighting the entire universe. The game throws impossible jumps, precise mechanics, and a story that touches your soul. Every failed jump is a small agony, but something strange happens: the soundtrack embraces you and gives you the strength to keep going. Because yes, the music is so perfect that even the pain of dying on the same jump ten times feels... kind of beautiful. And in the end, when you reach the top, you realize the real challenge was accepting that all this made you a better person. Or maybe just a little more patient.

QUALIFICATION

9/10 MOUNTAIN

This is one of those games where I judged it by the cover and did not read enough of the reviews! I though this was going to be a comfy, cozy platformer with a cute story. Ohhh boy was I wrong.

This game is a painstakingly handcrafted instrument of unyielding psychological torture.

Don't get me wrong.. I'm loving it. But goodness gracious, this is challenging. There's like... 4 controls? Direction, jump, climb, and dash. That's pretty much it. But the amount of things they did with that... it's nothing short of amazing.

This is a precision platformer in every sense of the word. You have to practice, die, practice again, and eventually you figure out the timing, the coordination, and all and get it. And that was one room. Now go to the next one. Each room is hand crafted with devious and malicious intent. It's kind of glorious.

The great thing is they don't punish you at all. Respawns are super fast, and you start right at the beginning of the room you were on. Rooms can sometimes be one screen only, so you basically just have to nail the room down. It appears that later in the game there is more scrolling and the rooms get larger, but I'm not quite there yet. Regardless, this can be more challenging than it sounds even if it is only one screen, as usually you need to zig zag through and avoid all kinds of nefarious things they put in your path... but it's doable. And when you finally beat a room, you are happy about it... and then you see the next one.

There are also a bunch of things later in the game, like enemies and such but I have no idea how those work so I won' t comment on them now. There is a story here that appears to be pretty cute. It's a simple story, but I quite like how they present it. It's about a girl named Madeline (changeable) climbing Mount Celeste (yes, I know, I thought Celeste was the girl's name at first as well) to prove to herself that she can.

This is a game that could potentially become frustrating. Frustration is the enemy of gaming, and so I recommend taking it in small doses if you are prone to that. Don't try to play this for 8 hours straight if you are at risk of going full tilt... it won't help. You need to breathe and be calm and coordinated with this game. I play for a room or three, then put it down and do something else. I'll slowly work my way through it over time, and that is fine with me because I enjoy every time I do get into it, and the challenge is always something I'm ready for.

This is a great game, and I am looking forward to slowly working my way through it.

Just breathe, Madeline... you can do this!

If you're a computer science major, you know the appeal of this game. If you're not, then it goes like this: You will not get any of these levels right on the first couple tries. But when you eventually get them right, you feel like a genius. This game is excellent.
Also got a killer soundtrack.

0/10 game TOO good dont play if you dislike 10/10 visuals 100/10 gameplay 10/10 replayability

Badeline.

Wife Material
'Wife material' is described as "a phrase often used to describe a girl whom you feel possesses certain qualities that qualifies her to be a model wife for you"

I haven't played much of it and I have not completed everything, but this game is truly amazing. The platforming is fun and the game has cool mechanics added to each different section of the game. The graphics are awesome! I highly recommend the game!

Entre más juegas más lo odias, eso es inmerción en el personaje, 10/10

The best platformer I own, with a great story too. I reccomend this game to anyone who likes a challenge.

quickly became one of my favorite games ever, difficult, good for speedrunning and challenges and nice community/modded community :3

peak. peak storytelling, peak gameplay, peak characters. absolute cinema.

This is an incredibly difficult game that i am not good at, but it also one of my favorite games. I've never played something that encouraged me so much. I genuinely recommend this to everyone to try.

One of my favourite games of all time.

10/10 gameplay
10/10 story
10/10 soundtrack
10/10 art
10/10 community

If you like platformers, "Celeste" is just the game for you.

This game is extremely OK. Haha, get it.

For real though, great game. Have a strawberry, you earned it. 🍓

farewell is the video game equivalent of dropping a cinder block on your nuts

good easy to learn hard to master game, can be raging at times but the cute artstyle makes it for it. 9/10

Celeste is a personal journey of resolve. It's a story about determination to climb a mountain in the face of depression, anxiety, and lost hope. I found playing through Celeste to be almost meditative. If you give it a chance, Celeste may even teach you things about yourself.

The gameplay can be very challenging, and at times punishing. But, always in the end, rewarding. I had never played a precision platformer before, and I was glad to see that the game ramps-up difficulty in a natural way.

The story and gameplay are accompanied by beautiful pixel art, an overall great visual theme, and enjoyable music. I did personally have to turn down screen shake and foreground effects opacity using the "Extended Variant Mode" mod so I could play without significant distractions, but I don't think most people will need this.

I don't think I can explain assist mode any better than the in-game explanation:
"Assist Mode allows you to modify the game's rules to fit your specific needs. This includes options such as slowing the game speed, granting yourself invincibility or infinite stamina, and skipping chapters entirely. Celeste is intended to be a challenging and rewarding experience. If the default game proves inaccessible to you, we hope that you can still find that experience with Assist Mode."

At the time of writing, I have died 22,708 times while playing Celeste. I'm proud of that number, because it represents 22,708 times I've refused to give up.

You can do this.

Now that I've played the game for a day (like 24h) and i can say that this is a solid 5/5 (especially with mods) (I haven't played that much (like some 3000+h) of it but i can safely say that its a good game)

this game is actually way too good
idc if i suck ass at the platforming
i really like the art and character interactions and all that
i bet if i were better i could enjoy it more
but still an amazing game

This game caused me pain and suffering. This game makes me want to kill someone. This is really the Dark Souls of platformer games. This game makes me want to kill someone and causes pain in a deep way. I love this game. Now i have to serve 20 years

awesome creative platformer with rewarding movement and awesome music, not a babys first platformer though. very hard.

this game makes you want to kill yourself, however its satisfying when you are able to breeze through a room like a pro in only like 10 seconds after youve died like 50 times. if you like challenging games then get celeste. while the main story isnt too hard, the B and C side versions of the chapters are extremely tough and make you say all swear words written in the dictionary. overall story and art is good and the soundtrack and level design is a masterpiece.

CHAPTER 2 MUSIC I JAM TO YOU EVERY TIME I HEAR YOU

also has mod support so you can play even harder levels than the main campaign has to offer

First real platformer I ever played and I don't regret paying full price at all
Use of metaphors is 10/10
Fun af even after struggling on a single room and having my hand hurting like hell after playing a chapter

This game is insanely hard, but the game makes it easy to keep trying, keep practicing, and eventually you end up beating the challenges that seemed impossible when you first tried them.

Although steam says I ONLY have 170 hours in Celeste (at time of writing this) I have actually played more like 400. This game helped me start exploring my own mental health and has helped me greatly when I felt really down. My very first play through of Celeste took me 11 hours and I used assist mode for some of it. This game really is designed for everyone to experience the story and joy of over coming the mountain.

Pros,
Very polished
Sound track is a BANGER
Impacting story that still is with me to this day
Feel good movement
Great for speed running
accessibility settings for its difficulty that is not just random labels like "easy" or "hard"
Overall really fun!

Cons:
Normally really hard (try assist mode if you struggle with it, no shame!!)
You will be glued to this game until you beat the main story... or until you 100% it..

Overall, Really good, changed my life for the better!!! 20/10 must play!!

I 100% the game and I'm still not better than the average player probably. Now I play modded and I am still learning new tech and mechanics.

Incredible game unironically.

Im obsessed with the pixel art in this game and the difficulty makes me want to go insane sometimes. Although the JOY you feel when you complete a difficult area is unmatched. Also nice post game content and for completonist.

Amazing game, beautiful mechanics, makes me want to smash my monitor sometimes though.

There are two games that I have cried at in my life, Portal Two, a masterpiece that has some of the best story and gameplay ever, and Celeste. This game, means so much to me, it was one of my first introductions to gaming, with my older sister letting me play it on her computer during quarantine, and when I was older and finally got the game, it was some of the most fun i have ever had. The addictive mechanics that flow into each other as the levels progress, with each previous one adding on to the next, and the story about overcoming your fears and self doubts, this game was addictive. But after a few weeks of playing, when I finally reached the last stage, I cried at the ending, this game has such a good resolution, and with all that this game meant to me, I was sad to have to finish it. This game, is one of the best games I have ever played, and I would highly recommend playing it, 11/10, just get the game already.

It's vey hard so if you are looking for a game that you won't scream at than maybe not this, but if you are than i very much recommend this game the story and gameplay are very good.

I played this on gamepass a while ago and eventually got it here.
Having climbed the mountain twice I can say that it will test you in all of the best ways and maybe even teach you somethings you never knew about yourself.

The game is solid and any mistake is on the player for poor execution or just not quite understanding the gimmick yet.

I will say that the post game is where the game loses some point however, the leap in difficulty will leave you with cramped hands and regret, but it'll still be there when you are ready to finish it.


This game is for people that need a challenge, and more people should be willing to accept it.

After 100%ing the game (moonberry, hearts, B sides and C sides; just no golden strawberries). This game is simply the best platformer game I have ever played. The dash mechanic completely transforms level design to add so much more precision and agility that feels so damn satisfying. Not only that, but the devs constantly push the limits of the mechanics in each map that require you to constantly think about positioning, grabbing walls, jumping and using your dash. The game constantly ramps the challenge until you feel like an absolute beast in accomplishing levels. The devs have thought about every minute detail that makes you feel rewarded when playing the game.

The game can be frustratingly hard at times but never feels unfair for you to want to quit. The OST is genuinely so good that honestly you could just sit there and listen to the music. It is just so damn good. It is a must buy game for any platformer enthusiast and is SO CHEAP for how much gameplay you can get out of it. Why are you still reading this? BUY THE GAME!

Yes, the tags of super-tight, ultra-precise, and difficult are true. Do not be fooled by the cute sprites for this game will challenge your mind and specifically your trigger finger. I would advise anyone who wishes to enter monkhood in the future to finish this game as your patience and discipline will be unmatched. Also can someone find a Lena song that doesn't slap because I'm struggling.

Very well made character controller, level design, story, and basically everything else! Very hard and not for the faint of heart
