    Celeste is a game that is often praised for its difficulty and its message of overcoming anxiety and depression. However, I found the game to be frustrating and exhausting, and I didn't find the message to be particularly helpful.

    Never have I before been so immersed in a game and the story it portrays. It is fair to say that the game challenged me to think and also challenged my platformer skills. 10/10 easy

    I'm going to be honest... this game is one of the best 2D platformer ever made, while playing it i was immersed in the story and felt lot of empathy for the protagonist. The story is well written, the game is hard as well as satisfying when you finish a level. I liked the art style, the construction of the levels, the pace was really good (i finished the main quest in 6 hours).

It feels like the game have a heart and the developers wrote a story that can provoke deep feeling and emotions in the player.

    It can be fun for a time but ultimately the platforming failed to distinguish itself to me. I kept waiting for it to level up and reveal itseld to me but that moment never came. I guess it just wasn't for me.

    I appreciate that the game's challenging nature was designed to serve as an analogy for the uphill struggle of liberating oneself from mental health issues. Still, the process of balancing the difficulty might have gotten a little out of hand. That's my only excuse not to award this fantastic game a 9/10.

    Celeste is at those high levels of both adorable and punishing. It has beautiful art, vibrant colours and music to contrast with the sweat on our palms. Great old school gaming experience, with an introspective story no less.

    this is a very fun platformer game with an amazing soundtrack and appealing graphics. it has a nice story line with a few fun bosses on the way. would definitely recommend to anyone who thinks they have the skill as it can sometimes be a bit challenging for some.

    Amazing game. Such fun platforming and somehow it does a great job with talking about depression and anxiety. Wanna face the REAL challenge? Play the B-Sides of tapes and suffer more. Don't really have much else to say. I loved playing it and the challenge was great.

    This game is very boring..... Super mario (1985) better than celefste it is very bad because it's always the same background and platform mechanics is very bad. Don't play celeste Super Mario(1985) is better than celeste.

    Voy a tratar de ir rápido a lo principales puntos de la reseña:

    *HISTORIA *DISEÑO *JUGABILIDAD *DIFICULTAD *MÚSICA -HISTORIA: La historia de Celeste es… increíble, al principio o a simple vista puede parecer la típica historia genérica sobre la depresión/ansiedad. Pero Celeste toca un poco más a fondo esos temas con pequeños detalles que no me voy a parar a mencionar. Pero el    Voy a tratar de ir rápido a lo principales puntos de la reseña:

    *HISTORIA
    *DISEÑO
    *JUGABILIDAD
    *DIFICULTAD
    *MÚSICA

    -HISTORIA: La historia de Celeste es… increíble, al principio o a simple vista puede parecer la típica historia genérica sobre la depresión/ansiedad. Pero Celeste toca un poco más a fondo esos temas con pequeños detalles que no me voy a parar a mencionar.

    Pero el que más destaca obviamente es la selección de niveles, es decir ‘Celeste’ la montaña, en la cual ves como vas desde lo más bajo, hasta la cumbre, y aunque parezca una tontería, eso me ha encantado.

    Sin ninguna duda en mi opinión la historía tiene un 10/10.

    -DISEÑO: No quiero hablar mucho del diseño de niveles y las
    mecánicas del juego ya que lo divertido y lo que hace bueno a Celeste es ir descubriéndolas poco a poco en cada nivel.

    Aunque haya algunas que no me gustan, estas encajan muy bien en el diseño de niveles, este está muy bien pulido y las cosas puestas al milímetro para que lo tengas que hacer perfecto, lo que me llega al siguiente punto.

    No sin antes dar mi rotunda nota al diseño
    10/10.

    -DIFICULTAD: Simplemente es difícil, no me ha parecido el dark souls de las plataformas pero si que he de decir que es difícil. PERO Celeste tiene una ayuda que es el modo asistencia, que lo hace más fácil y personalizable, a mi personalmente no me gusta usar estas cosas pero si a alguien se le hace cuesta arriba (gran chiste) pues ahí lo tiene.

    -JUGABILIDAD: Quiero hablar tanto de la jugabilidad como las mecánicas.

    En cuanto a la jugabilidad me parece el punto más débil del juego, no había mucha sensibilidad entre el dash diagonal y el vertical, y ni hay gran cosa que hacer la verdad más allá de un dash o dos.

    Pero esto lo arreglan las mecánicas que son el punto fuerte aquí voy a hablar de algunas que hay así que ALERTA SPOILER.

    -Cintas mecánicas: Aparecen en el nivel uno y para mí son de las más simples pero más divertidas.

    -Cristales: Al hacer un dash los atraviesas hacía la dirección hacia la que hayas hecho tu dash, debido a lo que dije antes del dash se me ha hecho un poco meh pero estaba divertida también.

    Respecto a las demás pues no hay mucho más, la pluma tenía mucha sensibilidad pero me encantó eso :)
    Mi total es
    8/10.

    -MÚSICA: El mejor punto del juego con muchísima diferencia, la compositora ha hecho un trabajo increíble, al principio es melancólica y deprimente, pero a medida que vas avanzando va cogiendo ritmo y más armonía, excelente.
    10/10.

    -CONCLUSIÓN: Esto daría un buen 9,8 pero no me puedo quedar sin darle un 10, ha sido un trabajo magnífico, es verdad que tiene sus puntos malos pero las 6 horas que me ha durado y seguramente exprima más, me han encantado.    … Expand

    One of the greatest platformers!

    Perfect platforming. A legendary soundtrack. An amazing story. So, so, so much content!

    This will easily be remembered as one of the most influential games of the 2010s.

    Splendido, difficilissimo platform 2d in pixel art.
    Grafica dal buono stile e musiche bellissime, ma soprattutto grande giocabilità, livello di sfida altissimo e ottima varietà di situazioni e ostacoli da superare.
    Un perla.

    This game is AMAZING a true MASTER PEICE this game has a ingaging story incredibly difficult but fair game play you'll almost never feel like you fied without it being your fault. Unfortunately I can't give much more on the game as I haven't beaten it yet, infact I'm not very far at all but from the little I have played is its truly amazing.

    This game is an absolute joy, it helped me with my mental health using a technique and visual I carry with me to this day. It’s not for everyone as it can be frustrating, but I can’t stress enough to take breaks and persevere.

    I don’t usually play platformers. In fact, this is probably the first one I’ve ever completed. But this game may convince me to get into the genre. The combination of creativity in the movement and some puzzle aspects was a lot of fun. The soundtrack was simple but fit perfectly. The game design in general was really smart. And it’s all topped off by a surprisingly compelling story. I willI don’t usually play platformers. In fact, this is probably the first one I’ve ever completed.

    Celeste is an beautiful, optimistic game about how triumph can outweigh any number of failures. It's about reconciling your pain, frustrations and defeats. It's about getting better, in every sense.

    Celeste is one of the most entertaining 2D platformers in recent years. It'll defeat you from time to time, but its inviting controls, level design, and presentation will keep you coming back until you persevere and overcome every challenge thrown your way.

    Celeste has a couple of hiccups in its aesthetics and tech, but the core of what Matt Thorson and his team have made contains a wonderful story of endurance and resilience for both the characters and the player, that begs not to be missed.
