April 2025
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!

genuinely my favorite game of all time, endless replayability and great fan-made content. platforming feels tight and is made by a great group of people. I originally pirated this game many years ago, but I ended up buying it out of respect for the team who made it. I felt so bad about pirating that I actually ended up buying it 13 other times for people, across multiple platforms. this game has helped me discover so much about myself, and has helped me get through many tough times in my life, such as breakups and losses of loved ones. if you are reading this, go buy the funny trans jumpy game! (also 69 hours nice)

This may just be another positive review in a sea of positive reviews, but Celeste is my favourite game and I feel compelled to say a few words about it. The game is excellently designed as a precision platformer with just about the cleanest gameplay of any platformer I've ever played or likely will play. It is difficult, but the difficulty builds slowly, and the game teaches you in forgiving ways as you go. It was also made to be accessible to everyone, with an assist mode, if needed, to help everyone enjoy the game at the difficulty they are most comfortable with. The story is fantastic as well. Its a story that is easy to relate to and unlike most games, one that I find myself thinking about in my day to day life on occasion. There are so many ways to enjoy the game and challenge yourself as well, if that's something you're into. I have a hard time thinking of anything negative to mention. This game is a must play game in my opinion if you're even remotely into this type of game.

The base game is barely an introduction to what this games engine has to offer. The amount of tech this game leaves out is insane. Play the base game then try any mod that has come out in recent memory. 10/10 game would waste my life on again
