    Celeste is utterly astonishing. The story and characters are heartfelt and intimate, the game play is refined and polished, and the music is absolutely masterful. No game is perfect, but Celeste is a challenge to that truth. I realise a lot of the weight and meaning will be lost on people lucky enough not to suffer from mental health issues (after all, no game is for everyone),

    Celeste é incrivel, por mais que as vezes vc quase quebre seu controle. Trilha sonora sensacional e jogabilidade totalmente responsiva, pelo menos quando morro no celeste sei que foi culpa minha e não do jogo.

    Cidden şaşırdım. Acayip derecede hemde. Bu kadar basit mekanikli bir oyunun bazı triplay oyunlardan daha iyi olabileceğini gördüm. Celeste harika bir oyun ve kesinlikle gelmiş geçmiş en iyi platformer oyunlarında top 3'e oynayabilecek bir başyapıt

    Öncelikle hikaye: Madeline adlı ana karakterimiz ile Celeste dağının tepesine doğru bir yolculuğa çıkıyoruz. Biraz tırmandıktan sonra dağa    Cidden şaşırdım. Acayip derecede hemde. Bu kadar basit mekanikli bir oyunun bazı triplay oyunlardan daha iyi olabileceğini gördüm. Celeste harika bir oyun ve kesinlikle gelmiş geçmiş en iyi platformer oyunlarında top 3'e oynayabilecek bir başyapıt

    Öncelikle hikaye: Madeline adlı ana karakterimiz ile Celeste dağının tepesine doğru bir yolculuğa çıkıyoruz. Biraz tırmandıktan sonra dağa tırmanan başka bir kişi ile, Theo ile karşılaşıyoruz. Theo ile biraz daha ilerlediğimizde "Badeline" ortaya çıkıyor ve bilinmeyen bir sebepten ötürü ana karakterimize dağın tepesine olan yolculukla bayağı bir zorluk çıkarıyordur. Bakalım madeline ile celeste dağının tepesine tırmanabilecekmisiniz?

    Öncelikle hikaye'ye bakınca olabildiğine klasik bir hikaye görüyoruz. Defalarca okuduğumuz, izlediğimiz, oynadığımız klasik bir hikaye. Ama hikaye belki celeste için (diğer yönlere göre) en az çaba harcanılmış kısmı. Zor bir bölümden sonra parmaklarınızı dinlendirirken o sakin hikaye rahatlamanıza daha yardımcı olabilir. Fakat senaryo boyunca istisnai birkaç sahne dışında neredeyse hiçbirşey oldu da bitti olarak gösterilmiyor. Karakterler ise... yani kötü karakterlerin öyle aman aman değişik bir yönü yok klasik kötü karakterler işte. Theo ve yaşlı kadın da aynı şekilde. Malesef karakterlerin aklımda kalan hiçbir iyi yönü yok fakat dediğim gibi muhtemelen en az buraya emek harcanmış fakat bu karakterlerin sıkıcı olduğunu değiştirmez. Cidden uyuklama moduna giriyodum her dialog girdiğinde. ilk oynayışta biraz katlandım ama ikincisinde direk skip cutsene seçeneğine basarak atladım orayı çünkü çok sıkıcı. Yani ben senaryo'yu beğendimmi? Evet. Ben senaryoyu beğendim yani sadece bir iki eksi ile tüm hikayeye kötü diyemem sonuçda.

    Oynanış ile Bölüm dizaynı'na gelirsek... Öncelikle oyunun temel mekaniği olan Dash ile başlayalım. Dash mekaniği havada iken yön tuşları ile bastığınız yöne karakterinizi fırlatmanızı sağlıyor. Öyle yepyeni birşey diyemeyeceğim dash'de oldukça basit bir mekanik. Fakat aşırı güzel bölüm dizaynı ile kullandıkça mutlu oluyorsunuz. Resmen platformer aşıklarına yazılmış bir aşk mektubu (Otel ve 6.chapter). Hazır bölüm dizaynına girdik biraz da ondan konuşalım. Bölüm dizaynı konusunda bazı "şaheser" oyunlara bunu ders diye vermeleri lazım. Ben hayatım boyunca bu kadar iyi bölüm dizaynına sahip bir oyun görmedim. Her bölümde parmak kaslarınız ve reflexlerinizi zorlayarak engelleri aşıyorsunuz. Ve madeline de tuşa bastığım gibi komutu uygulayan bir karakter yani ölürseniz kusura bakmayın suç sizdedir. Oyun geçmeniz için gerekenden fazlasını size veriyor zaten. Spawn bölgeleri. Celeste'de engelleri aşıp bir sonraki bölüme geçtiğinizde birdaha kendinizi aşağı atsanız bile bölüm başından başlatıyor. Birde çilek toplama var. Çilek toplama oyunda extradan zorluk çıkarmak için koyular "sıkıyosa beni ölmeden almaya çalışsana sjsjsjsjj" dermiş gibi duruyor ve bu cidden aşırı sinir bozucu. Fakat neredeyse hiç dert etmedim. Ama sonradan öğrendiğime göre eğer sona ulaşmadan 100 çilek toplayabilirsen sonda birşey oluyormuş ama araştırmaya fazlasıyla üşendim. Dediğim gibi dümdüz oyunu oynayıp bitirdim. Son olarak kasetler. Kasetleri, oyunu çok daha zorlaştıran "B-Side" adı verilen extra bölümleri açıyorlar. Tabi çok gözükmedikleri için ben sadece bir yerde kaset gördüm ve çok da zor olmadığı için kaseti aldım. Chapteri bitirince bir deneyeyim dedim vee hiç gerek olmadığını gördüm. Yani bölümü çok sevip didik didik ettiyseniz bulup dahada fazla keyifli zaman geçirebileceğiniz bir extra. Yani aşağı yukarı böyle. Kısacası ben celeste'nin oynanışına ve bölüm dizaynına bayıldım.

    Teknik özellikler: Oyunun grafikleri gerek dash olsun gerek bölüm dizaynı olsun cidden ama cidden aşırı güzel gözüküyorlar. Yani 2d sınırları içerisinde yapılabilecek en iyi işlerden birini yapmışlar cidden helal olsun. Eh yani burası hakkında uzun uzun konuşamam o nedenle Bitirelim.

    Geldik incelemenin sonuna. Celeste hem 2018 yılına, hemde 2020 yılına göre platform olayını aşırı iyi yapan bir oyun. Tabii ki bahsedemediğim onlarca iyi yanı daha vardır ama aşırı odunsu karakterler ile uyku moduna geçtiğimden öyle çok fena diyemiyorum. Fakat yinede aşırı iyi bir oyundur. Oynayınız

I realized I got little to no enjoyment out of the game , and spent more time wishing the level would just end so I could save and quit playing. Once that happened I just uninstalled the game. I’ll never play again. Buy it on sale. $5 is a good price.… Expand

    Outstanding 2D-Platformer game filled with challenges. Art style and music are beautiful, gameplay is smooth and it's feels so good to play. A friend told me about this game, and I'm so grateful I got to play this fantastic game thanks to him. It is one of the best 2D-Platformer I played in a while, very refreshing experience and I recommend everyone to play it!

    Bu tarz 2d aksiyon platform oyunlarında oynadıkça hikayenin ve karakterin gelişim ve değişimini pek hissetmezsiniz. Ancak bu çok önemli oynanış mekaniklerini vermekte bile aceleci davranmıyor ve başarılı bir macera yaşatıyor.

    The best game I have ever played by far, as soon as I finished all the levels I went back and beat them all again. I ended up liking the game so much, I started speedrunning the game. Even after 40+ completions, the game never gets old to me.

    As a platformer it's a fun game. The difficulty pretty fair, you die a bunch, but aside from a death count there isn't really any repercussions to dying other than having to try again from the beginning of that small area, so it's no big deal. Overall I was pleased with the difficulty level and had fun playing through this game, though it does get a bit boring at times.

Overall I was pleased with the difficulty level and had fun playing through this game, though it does get a bit boring at times.

    However, one of my issues with the game and the main reason I couldn't bring myself to give it a higher score is that I was not too impressed with the controllers. The mechanic of having to hold a button to hold on to the walls and manually move up and down (different than most platformers where you hold on to walls upon contact and slowly slide down) combined to a dash ability that didn't feel very precise (I found that the game was a little too sensitive in detecting dashes as a diagonal movement when you're actually trying to go straight) made me not love the flow of the movements in this game, and as a platformer that's a big deal. The movement mechanics were obviously a design choice, and I suppose it's purely going to depend of the opinion of the player, but, personally, while I wouldn't call it bad and I did get used to it fairly quickly, I also I didn't love it. The flow of the movements just didn't feel great for me.

    Another point that I didn't love was some of the visual design aspects of the levels. Sometimes things are not very visible or clear. For example, chapter 4 has some pink platforms in front of a pink background. I found myself more often than I would like to admit not noticing at first something that was right in front of my face and obviously made to be used (and I mean literally not seeing it at first). As this is not something I find myself experiencing on other games of the genre, I have to assume it's an issue I had with the design of this game in particular.

    And finally: the story. Not going to lie, I didn't like it. The dialogs, especially the ones with your "evil" self, are pretty cringy and felt pretty shallow. I understand what they were aiming for with the theme of overcoming depression and anxiety, and I have played other games that did a phenomenal job with this theme, but Celeste just wasn't one of them. Perhaps it was the characters and the dialogs, or perhaps it was that story felt out of place with the gameplay (probably both), but the story didn't really work for me and felt mostly cringy and something I wanted to skip.

    tl;dr: not one of my favorite platformers, and I probably won't be replaying it in the future, but I still had fun as a one time playthrough.    … Expand

    a man goes to the doctor. says he's depressed. he says life seems harsh and cruel. says he feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain. the doctor says "the treatment is simple. the great clown pagliacci is in town tonight. go and see him, that should pick you up." the man bursts into tears. he says "but doctor... i am pagliacci."

    The graphics are retro made which is always welcome for retro gamers such as myself.
    It really looks like this game was made with love especially because of the story it has, it really helps in times such as these, the difficulty of this game i would say is mostly trial and error, it's not an unfair difficulty. And finally the music in this game is really good, i have to mention that the music in a boss battle near the end of the story is really epic and was like 1 of the best i heard this year so far!
    So in short words i have to say this is a remarkable piece of art that has the essentials a game needs to be this good!    … Expand

    Great indie platformer which deals with important topics. Gameplay and music are the highlights here, while level design is also great, with many parts being reasonably though. The story is sad and emotionally powerful. Some minor issues include a couple of parts parts that drag a bit, and some mechanics which are overused at some points. Other than that, a great game well worth checking out.

    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]
