    Masterpiece of a game in terms of raw skillful gameplay. If you choose to play only for the story mode you are just sratching the surface. B-sides, C-sides and the free DLC that came out a while ago make up for the game itself. The difficulty and therefore satisfaction one gets after clearing the hard levels are beautiful. Easily one of the best games i have ever played

    I have never played such a good platformer since pizza tower and I believe this game tops that. This game is so perfect, it's like when you die you don t feel upset or angry you just get more determination to continue.

    Over 5 years ago, I completed this game using a keyboard, and I recall struggling and failing multiple times on each level. Despite my frustration and exhaustion, the game's engaging gameplay and captivating storyline kept me going. The music still resonates in my ears. This platform game holds a special place among my favorites.

    ¿Celeste está sobrevalorado? Sí. ¿Es un juegazo? También.

    Seamos sinceros, Celeste es un juegazo en toda regla. Entiende su género y pule sus simples y tan buenas mecánicas en una experiencia más o menos corta y desafiante.

    Jugablemente, es sublime. Los controles son híper fluidos (incluso para un plataformas) y sus mecánicas giran en torno al dash, que lo aprovechan de maneras muy curiosas. El diseño de niveles es increíble, se adecúa a los dashes y a los saltos milimétricos para avanzar o conseguir fresas (el mayor coleccionable del juego), ofreciendo una dificultad que si bien es muy alta, no llega a frustrar y de hecho motiva a seguir jugando. Además, los niveles tienen muchas rutas secretas o no son 100% lineales, por lo que no se siente como un plataformas genérico.

    Visualmente, es bastante bonito y el soundtrack es de locos. Me gustaría encontrar alguna de sus canciones en Youtube y ponerla en mi playlist.

    Pero sin duda lo que más me ha sorprendido gratamente es su historia y sus personajes. Empatizas muchísimo con todos y presenta una historia profunda para un juego de su género. A mí parecer, la protagonista acaba entendiendo que tiene que convivir con su parte mala y que puede hacerla más fuerte. Tiene momentos bastante cómicos, que te sacarán una sonrisa a la vez que momentos impactantes que nos dejarán pensando sobre los personajes.

    Celeste no me ha parecido esa obra maestra de la que todo el mundo habla, pero me ha parecido un muy buen juego que se entiende a sí mismo. Recomendadísimo.    … Expand

    Imagine you have to do pixel-precise platforming with awkward, unprecise and clunky controls. Well, you're in for a lot of fun. Welcome to Celeste.

    Most annoying and overrated game ever. Basically, on every screen you have to break your fingers in order to perform impossible jump sequences using horrible controls. Keyboard or Controller doesn't matter, both suck and it is pure luck when you finally finish a screen. On to the next...which is even more horrible. And if that wasn't already enough, they add time pressure and enemies that follow you crazily fast.

    There are big "screens" which are actually several screens you scroll through. And guess what, when you fail in such a big screen, you always start at the beginning. Needless to say that the jumps required are crazy hard and when I say pixel-perfect, I really mean pixel-perfect.

    I thought this would be a nice platformer, but it actually is a "Try each screen 100 times until you make it" simulator. That's all what the devs are capable of.

    You have to try each screen so many times that it is just annoying.

    Dialogues are very simple, actually not very creative. Could be written by a 15 year old high school student.

    I don't know but this game seems extremely overrated. It is ok, but that's it. I will suffer through it because I never quit a game.

    Graphics and sound are good though. But the basic concept of platforming and trying 100 times just sucks.    … Expand

    A stylish pixelated platformer that is easy to learn but hard to master, control is very responsive and good story. you will died a lot tho, and no shame in that. The best part is there almost zero second death screen, making it very unpunishing.

    The free DLC is almost only for hardcore player and speedrunner, so dont pull your hair out if you cant beat it, just have fun. but also dont give up

    The levels are fantastic and the story is very interesting as it doesn't just talk about Madeline climbing a mountain but also fighting her inner demons as she suffers from panic attacks and depression. The main story plus DLC are something that everyone should try.

    But one cannot review this game without talking about the SOUNDTRACK.

    Celeste es sin duda uno de mis juegos Top 10, uno de los indies más icónicos e imprescindibles de este siglo, y, definitivamente, el videojuegos de plataformas más galardonado y trascendente en cuanto a indies se refiere.

    Esta obra no solo nos propone una escalada a una montaña a nivel jugable, si no que esta premisa se extrapola a la intención narrativa del videojuego, teniendo en    Celeste es sin duda uno de mis juegos Top 10, uno de los indies más icónicos e imprescindibles de este siglo, y, definitivamente, el videojuegos de plataformas más galardonado y trascendente en cuanto a indies se refiere.

    Esta obra no solo nos propone una escalada a una montaña a nivel jugable, si no que esta premisa se extrapola a la intención narrativa del videojuego, teniendo en cuenta que su guión apunta a la superación de problemas emocionales, casi tratándose de una alegoría al tratamiento de la depresión y otras enfermedades mentales, incluso esquizofrenia.
    La forma en que Celeste trabaja a sus personajes es grandilocuente; no deja a nadie de su elenco con un trato tangencial, y se dedica minuciosamente a diálogos que ayudan a Madeline (la protagonist) a crecer como persona, como también trabajan en los problemas de cada personaje de manera individual.

    En cuanto a la dificultad de este juego, se puede decir que es más que desafiante. La mecánica del dash, si bien es nuestra herramienta principal, muchas veces se queda corta o no alcanza para lograr nuestros objetivos, obligándonos a saltar, agarrar, y esquivar elegantemente a través de nuestra aventura; todas estas herramientas son necesarias e incluso obligatorias para terminar Celeste.
    Aún así, y a diferencia de muchos, me parece que la mecánica de Assist es una integración más que inteligente por parte de los desarrolladores, pues, teniendo en cuenta que este es uno de los videojuegos más desafiantes del último tiempo, y que por lo mismo su público objetivo es "reducido", el Assist proporciona una ampliación a sus jugadores, llegando así a más personas, haciendo a todos y todas partícipes de la escalada de esta enorme montaña.

    El apartado sonoro es más que sublime. Lena Raine es una compositora más que competente, es definitivamente una de las músicas más relevantes de este tiempo, al punto de ser integrada a títulos del calibre de Minecraft.
    Las emociones que evocan sus canciones son total y absolutamente precisas para los escenarios y narrativas por las cuales nos movemos en Celeste, generando sentimientos como desorientación y desconcierto, estrés y angustia, oscuridad y presión, para luego embarcarnos en emociones positivas como la alegría y la motivación, la suficiencia y la inspiración, entre otras; básicamente, Lena Raine nos expone la dualidad de la felicidad/tristeza de una forma sublime, que denota la ardua tarea de "escalar una montaña".

    El apartado visual es exquisito en su estética Pixel-art, acompañado también de imágenes de un estilo caricaturesco, a modo de postales y/o posters, que vamos obteniendo a medida que avanzamos en nuestra aventura.

    Todos y cada uno de los elementos de Celeste están bien logrados, ningún escenario o mundo se siente lo suficientemente difícil o fácil, su progresión de dificultad está muy bien establecida, integrando asimismo B sides y C sides que agregan un desafío que pocos son capaces de completar, pero que otorgan una rejugabilidad necesaria al juego, con variaciones en su OST y claramente también en su gameplay, puliéndolo aún más.

    Celeste es un Must to play, definitivamente, y si se pudiera calificar con más de un 10 me atrevería férreamente a hacerlo, pues, si no se conforma con su excelente gameplay, estética y OST, invita además a la mayor cantidad de jugadores a darle una oportunidad, y le da a sus personajes un carisma inolvidable, dejando (y dejándonos) a cada uno la chance de escalar esta maravillosa montaña.    … Expand

    I played the PC version thanks to EPIC store. 8 is accurate for this game. It is hard and focused on perfection. But playable still. I believe for people it can be a lot of frustrating. There are options to make it harder or easier. Celeste story is good enough to keep you in game.

    Despite some frustrating sections, tedious process of unlocking the post-game levels and lack of checkpoints in the post-game that made me quit due to losing a lot of progress, this is clearly still the best platformer I've played.

    So I finally got around to this very popular game. Have heard about it quite a bit for the last few years, also heard it was quite difficult, have always been interested in it but games with high levels of difficulty are usually chosen carefully by myself, as it really is dependent on the mood I am in at that time. Despite having some moments of frustration, I am glad to have completedSo I finally got around to this very popular game. Have heard about it quite a bit for the last few years, also heard it was quite difficult, have always been interested in it but games with high levels of difficulty are usually chosen carefully by myself, as it really is dependent on the mood I am in at that time. Despite having some moments of frustration, I am glad to have completed this one and ready to give my thoughts.

    Story - Lets start with the more simple side of things, you play as a female character, who you can name, though I went with the default which is Madeline, and she wants to climb Celeste mountain, her motivations for this aren't very clear to us nor even her but you embark on this journey with Madeline and see some growth in her character as she makes the dreaded climb. I was happy with the overall outcome, yes it's simplistic, but the story is nice and the characters are in short supply but very memorable. This is the perfect balance of story for this type of game in my view, it doesn't overstay its welcome in any way.

    Gameplay - Its a 2D platforming game where you are tasked with clearing 7 chapters for the base game, using only 3 main buttons to do so, that being a jump, a dashing move and a climbing button, this is all you get throughout the game and its all you need really, each Chapter has a different look, and a different gimmick, some type of new platforming mechanic or a unique puzzle idea, I loved it. Some levels are better than others, I disliked Chapter 5 towards the end thanks to some enemies called Seekers who would painfully chase you down throughout most of the level, but I loved pretty much every level for their unique design. I had a great time with the game despite some frustrating moments due to difficulty which I will follow up with below...

    Difficulty - Tis a hard one. I played all 7 Chapters and yes there is more to the game, but it is mostly the same thing with higher levels of difficulty and slight differences in the story from what I have heard. I was happy to stop after the credits, and felt the game was difficult but as you access different screens of the game, if you die there, you will just be warped back to that starting area of the screen so you never feel very punished for failing, which only encourages you to keep at it. The game is rewarding with the screen progression, every time I encountered a tough part, nothing felt better then getting the screen to change to a new area as I knew I was making progress. My partner also got the game and despite her being a very casual gamer, she is enjoying the game a lot, and seems to have the same feeling I do when she gets passed a difficult part. So if the difficulty scares you, give it a go if you can, you may be surprised by how enjoyable it is despite the difficulty.

    Controls - I started using a keyboard and even after doing some personal key binding, it just did not work for me, so I switched to a controller. Because you need to make some precise moves in the game, using the analogue stick can lead to many mistakes, where you mean to go straight left, you might shoot diagonally up to the left which can be a little annoying. You won't have this issue with the keyboard as you are pressing individually keys (not a stick) but again, I just couldn't get into using a keyboard. I would occasionally switch to using my D-Pad on the controller but only for the more complicated sections. This is a nit pick really though, ultimately I got around this without too much issues.

    Graphics - Pixel graphics! You cannot go wrong, you don't get facial features or anything on our characters, its not gonna be super detailed, but I enjoy games that look like this. Very simple but charming all at the same time. There character expressions in the dialogue screen are fantastic though, there is a few different versions for each character and all of them are adorable.

    Music - Loved it, very catchy and beautiful tunes to listen to as you play, some are better than others but this is a definite positive in my book.

    Final Rating - I had a great time with this game. It definitely is difficult and did lead me to some groans of anger, but for the most part I was having such a fantastic time, I beat the game in just two days because I could not stop playing it, only thing that would stop me was my personal life or work (mostly work). Definitely worth giving this game a try, you can find it for a reasonably cheap price as it isn't a very long game if you just play the base game (about 10-15 hours), but you can do all the additional stuff which will definitely extend your playtime by quite a bit, but yes, definitely give it a go!    … Expand

    Solid 10/10 game.

    The controls are very responsive, easy to learn, yet really hard to master. The levels are well-designed and what really caught my eye was the fact that, despite the high difficulty, the game feels fair and forgiving and every time you die, you feel like that it was your mistake and not the game's. Personally, I didn't find the story that interesting, perhaps even a    Solid 10/10 game.

    When it comes to basic mechanics, it's just a classic 2D platformer mechanics. You only have dashing and grappling mechanics except moving in four directions.But the exciting part is that, the game has 7 chapters, and in each chapter the game gives you new unique mechanics.
    And the game's level design is definitely fantastic. Total game has been dividing by seven chapters. and each chapter comes with unique level mechanics and environment. Game never chennaling you to one play style. you can pass the chapters too many ways. And if you have trouble to passing chapter, you can find a way to play chapter's B side, or just passing trough with assist mode without playing the chapter.

    Celeste is a simple 2D platformer.

    What makes Celeste special to me in comparison to other titles from its genre is that it gives me the feeling that it focuses 100% on the actual platforming and nothing else.

    What makes Celeste special to me in comparison to other titles from its genre is that it gives me the feeling that it focuses 100% on the actual platforming and nothing else. There are no enemies to kill, resources to gather, quests to be completed or over the top game mechanics, which are supposed to be the main gimmick of a lot of 2D-platformers these days (Of course new chapters introduce new game mechanics, but they never overstay their welcome). You just clear one level after another, each level builds on the experience you gathered from the previous levels and they build on one another perfectly.

    There are tons of levels and extra challenges, enough content to keep you busy for a long period of time. That combined with beautiful pixel art and a great soundtrack add up to a solid title that's definitely worth your bucks.

    The game can get very repetitive though and you may spend a lot of time on a single level with dozens or hundreds of attempts on the same level (especially if you decide to take a shot at chapter 9, but also in the previous chapters). This can be very frustrating, so if you're not a fan of replaying the same level a lot of times, you should probably keep off playing this game, because that's what you'll be doing literally all the time. I'm a big fan of such games where I have to try again and again to complete it because it feels more rewarding when I finally do. But that might not be everyone's cup of tea.

    And just a design note: I think it is kind of a shame this game does not have an official feature for creating your own maps and levels and to share them online. The base game sets up a perfect blueprint for some Mario Maker-esque stuff with all the different mechanics and level design concepts and the devs made nothing out of it. There is still a modding community out there and community-made tools to create your own levels and share them online, but it's very niche. Bummer.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. CELESTE - 9.1 / 10 - {highly recommend}
    The game is [Challenging, Fluid, Addictive, Artistic, Impactful, Unique]

    => Pros:
    + Addictive and extremely fluid gameplay;
    + In each room you find a new challenge, because each one is perfectly designed;
    + Difficulty quite variable according to the progression of the story;
    + Due to the immediate replay the player returns quickly and evolves his ability to use the mechanics;
    + The story is impressive and addresses important topics, such as anxiety and depression;
    + Strawberries encourage people to play even more;
    + Easy addiction, and you don't get tired anytime soon;
    + Exceptional soundtrack;
    + Memorable characters;
    + Very beautiful interface with the 3D mountain;
    + Magnificent art direction;

    => Cons:
    - The story could take a deeper look at issues of impact, such as depression, and in that respect it was shallow;
    - The plot focuses a lot on the main character, and the others characters have a superficial story, with the exception of Theo who goes a little further;
    - Strawberries only serve to define which pie will be made in the epilogue, and to platinum the game, that is, they could have been better used by the developers, such as unlocking the character's skins, something that doesn't exist in the game, but should;
    - It is almost impossible to platinum the game, mainly because of chapter 9, which is the Dark Souls of the platforms, unless you are absurdly insistent;
    - The developers managed to raise the difficulty to an extraordinary level, which made me give up of platinizing the game, despite having already completed everything else, that is, chapter 9 is an exaggeration in difficulty, apart from that both new chapters have a somewhat meaningless connection with the main plot;

    => VERDICT:
    The Verdict is that Celeste is a masterpiece that will surely addict you and make you want to complete, also for the too captivating story, but mainly because of the immediate replay factor and extremely playable fluid and pleasurable. The game shows you that no matter how much you improve or the level of dominance of the mechanics, you will always have problems, and each room reinvents itself in something new and challenging, minimally designed to put you approves. The only thing I don't recommend investing in is Chapter 9, because it is such a difficult level, that you will get to a room that will get stuck, and you will not be able to complete it, unless you are a pro-player in platform, and want to end the game 100%. However, it is worth investing in the main plot, and helping Madeline climb the mountain, even though she doesn't know why she is doing it.    … Expand

    All of my progress is gone. This f*ing game deleted my save completely. Nevertheless, I will start from the beginning.

    A charming precision platformer with a pleasant story about mental health. Gorgeous graphics, beautiful music, and fantastic platforming had me coming back for more despite my thousand deaths.

    Celeste has a lot going for it: virtuoso level design, top notch pixel art, fantastic chiptune soundtrack, an overall smart design, huge speedrunning potential and some deeper meaning (climbing the mountain as a metaphor of overcoming depression). Be aware though that it requires flawless precision and you will count your deaths in thousands. [04/2018, p.53]
