    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.

    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 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.

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

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

    Cosa rara: la historia, aunque sea muy reducida, está sorprendentemente bien escrita. Todo el juego es una especie de metáfora de la depresión, el trauma y la ansiedad, y la lucha a muerte para superarlas. En ningún momento siento que la historia desmerezca esos temas tan serios.
    También la música es muy buena. En fin, recomendadísimo para gamers que no tienen tanto tiempo para jugar y que están en busca de un juego con un aire muy vintage, dificultad media-alta y un muy, muy buen rato.    … Expand

    Celeste is one of many in a line of indie darlings that has received swathes of critical acclaim. I strongly disagree with the general perception of this game being so positive.

I strongly disagree with the general perception of this game being so positive.

    The graphics are one of the finer points of Celeste. I am growing continually weary of the retro visuals approach but Celeste manages to evolve this slightly with some vibrant and trippy visuals, especially later in the game. The graphics do an excellent job of creating the ambience intended. The biggest issue might be that combining it with gameplay makes it difficult when precision is needed for platforming.

    This segues me into discussing gameplay nicely. Celeste is a very difficult platforming game. This is my first red flag with all the critical acclaim - no way can that many reviewers be skilled enough to beat this game without the assist mode. I give the studio major kudos for having the assist mode but also take issue with the fact its existence is a must for me to access most of the game. The platforming for me just was not fun or challenging. When I finally succeeded I was bitter because I knew a lot of it was luck and that worse platforming was still to come.

    This is Celeste's biggest problem for me, as it becomes very one-dimensional very quickly. You are constantly platforming with very brief breaks for the story. It doesn't help that I'm not a huge fan of platformers in general, but games like Mario have shown us for decades how this genre can be navigated with more depth than Celeste.

    The story of Celeste is where I think a lot of the critical acclaim is biased by. On one hand it's quite nice and relevant to have mental illness feature prominently in a game. On the other hand, it has been done better elsewhere and at worst is outright pretentious and obnoxious. I can't care about Celeste's mental health when the punishing platforming is bad for my own sanity. We saw this same rubbish in Hellblade, another game positively-reviewed for the mentally-ill protagonist and not the actual game itself.

    As you can probably tell, Celeste was not a game I enjoyed. As I accuse reviewers of being biased I come from my own biased perspective as I have played so many pretentious indie darlings that it put Celeste at a disadvantage, however games do not exist in isolation and Celeste should have learned from its peers. This game I recommend for a very niche audience who enjoy punishing platforming, which I imagine to be much fewer than those who claim to have loved this.    … Expand

    It's a somewhat fun game, but I do think it's overrated. The platforming is pretty tight and challenging at times, but there's not much of a fun factor. It does have a good message to the story, and some humorous dialogue at times, but overall, the game didn't grip me much and it was over quite quick. I'd recommend this for fans of platformers, but I'd wait for a sale.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I loved this game. The mechanics that appeared in each level made it more complex and interesting than others platformers. Also, the difficulty increases once you progress in the game and there are optional sides of each level that are way harder than the original, so everyone can enjoy the experience whether you look for a hard game or a casual one.
    Besides the mechanics, the story was great. Being a Psicology student, I enjoyed how the main character solved her problem. Depression, anxiety, suicide are complex psychopathologies that don't usually heal like a broken leg, so you have to learn to live with it and I think the developers made a great decision with the main's character solution to the problem.    … Expand

It's challenging but fair, despite being awful at games I was able to make it to the end fine thanks to generous checkpoints and other details that make the game forgiving without taking out the difficulty. The game doesn't supplement difficulty with arbitrary challenge that's actually unfair, it never feels like the game made a mistake when you die, it's always your fault for messing up. It's rewarding and even though it's challenge is part of the experience and story, if it proves to be to intimidating for you, you can use the assist mode to tailor the difficulty to accommodate for your skill level. The level design is excellent. The visuals are stunning despite being somewhat simplistic compared to Triple A games like Red Dead Redemption or The Last of Us Part 2. The controls are tight and allow for the precise movement the game requires, everything feels great and fun to control. The game is short enough to not overstay it's welcome at all if you are just interested in getting to the end credits, but it is filled with plenty of optional content to keep dedicated fans playing long after if they so desire. This is the game I think of when I think of a masterpiece video game. I absolutely recommend it to anyone with remotely any interest in platformers. If the difficulty is the only thing holding you back from jumping into it then I strongly urge you to take the risk like I did. if platformers aren't your type of games though, I can't say with certainty that it will change your mind or that you will love it as much as me. The game is only $20 though so it might be worth the risk.… Expand

    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

    Celeste is a great 2d platformer with phenomonal music and fun gameplay. It's controls and graphics are very simplistic, and the design of each level is easy figure out but difficult to master. It's like a smoother Shovel Knight without the combat and upgrades that's completely focused on platforming and collectibles. I would recommend listening to the soundtrack first.

It comes with a great toolset for movement, a great story with an endearing cast and heaps of replayability. What Celeste truly excels at from a gameplay perspective is by giving you a simple toolset and over the game, rather than expand on the toolset instead gives a great deal of depth to the center piece that is the dash, as a player you are given puzzles that require you to manipulate the rules of the game in ways that causes you to teach yourself more advanced movements. This allows for a brilliant sense of progression within the player, so that when the dash gets expanded in the final story chapter it opens up a numerous amount of options that, if the game gave you this early on, wouldn't cross a player's mind.

    The story is something that I think needs to be experienced on a player by player basis, it's got a lot of themes of mental health and empowerment, but beyond that are some really great metaphors within the levels. Madeline, the games protagonist, has a really great arc, which whole I'm not going to go into any depth here, allows for the players sense of progression to align with Madeline's own progression on her journey.

    The difficulty, to me at least, is the cherry on top. To start with, I would recommend using the D-pad for Madeline's movement, it's clear the game was designed to be controlled this way, and as such it is significantly more precise than the analogue stick. Anyway to the point, the difficulty works to enhance the experience, don't get me wrong the game can definitely be frustrating, (especially in two of the longest screens in one of the bonus levels as well as the bonus chapter that was added as a later patch) but if the game was initially presented to be a breeze I feel like a lot of the work that was clearly put in to cause the gameplay and story to compliment each other wouldn't work anywhere near as well. As such when you overcome these challenges it gives you the player a great sense of accomplishment.

    This sense of accomplishment is I think the greatest thing about this game, not on a technical level but more so on a metaphysical one. The game is beautifully paced as to allow the challenge to grow incrementally, so the first chapter or two are spent learning controls as well as how some basic things interact, after that however is where the game reaches its stride. It starts focusing on the expectation that you are improving and as such the games 'screens' require more precise movements and timings. It seems pretty clear to me that the gameplau has to core layers to it, that being puzzle solving and execution. These two layers offer a great variety of challenges that are presented, and this aspect of the game truly comes to shine in the post story missions. (B and C sides, also farewell but that's a different beast entirely) The post story levels are entirely optional and exist as a way to challenge yourself, these are great and it's incredible coming from the hardest level in the game and going to the very beginning. At that point it becomes clear the journey that this game put you through.

    On a final point Celeste added a final chapter known as farewell. This is an incredibly difficult level that also has essentially a new story with different themes. In this sense added to length is effectively doubles to base story's content. It surpasses the difficulty of every bonus level aside from maybe 7C (if you know, you know) and requires you to use movement techniques that while fully useable before, were normally only used for speedruns. It's a crazy level that can easily become frustrating, I would recommend doing this after all the bonus levels, it's playable after competing the epilogue chapter, and while there is a wall to stop progress at a certain point if you haven't done bonus levels, the initial step up in challenge from the eighth chapter to farewell is huge and may cause you to fall off with the game if not prepared.    … Expand

Dying usually won't set you back more than a few seconds, which makes progressing throughout the game a lot less frustrating then it potentially could have been. Still, at times the game made me want to throw the controller against the wall, but it's those hard passages that gave me the sense of accomplishment once I mastered them.

    For the most part, getting through various screens and passages feels like finding the solution to a puzzle, figuring out where to jump and when to dash, which wall to hang on to, etc. Then it comes down to perfect timing, especially when trying to collect the optional strawberries that are scattered throughout the game. But the real challenge are the B-sides. B-sides are unlocked by finding hidden collectibles. They are harder versions of the main chapters, with completely new screens/level layouts and passages.

    And in its intended state, I just don’t like it.. im not one of those people that enjoy dying 1 million times in a video game, I want to relax and enjoy my games, not be on the brink of going mad…
    Thankfully this game offers an assist mode to deal with this..
    I gave the game a shot for how it was meant to be, you get a single dash though crystals and strawberries will refill this gash, you can climb walls and it’s a bunch of dashing and doging spikes supermeat boy style..
    it didn’t take long for me to be like nah, im not doing this.. and played the rest of the game with assists on…
    at first with just infinite dodges, but this game my character some super saiyan pink hair to give the visual of clearly im cheating right now, so I thought might as well turn damage off too..
    so whats meant to be some ultra hard game for sadomasochists for me was an exploration game and I feel no shame in that, I got the story, I got to see every inch of celeste, collecting the baries, the crystal hearts, the cassetes to unlock the side b version of a chapter and better yet playing with assist doesn’t turn trophies off, and this trophy list is full of silver trophies for finding these collectables…
    Needless to say playing with assists does take away the satisfaction of completing chapters and areas..
    I got to get a feel for the games intention the most while trying to get a trophy for completing celeste on pico-8, that’s right, the devolopers are evil jerks.. I got to level 27 out of 30 before I gave up on the trophy and the platinum, so don’t think with assist mode this is all of a sudden some easy platinum trophy because it isn’t… mount celeste is going to be in your way of it one way or another..
    somehow nearly 25% of players have this trophy though, I don’t see how. The game must have only sold like 4 copies and the one person that got it is a developer or their parents just didn’t love them.
    jokes, im kidding..
    im just not one of those people that think, you know what would be fun?
    dying over and over and over and over and over and over until muscle memory and luck prevent me from doing so,
    Its not my thing…
    that being said I do again still see the greatness in this game, the brilliant level design, the brutal difficulty, the option to skip the difficulty and just explore, a great trophy list aside from the pico 8 bit..

The story follows Madeline, a girl struggling to climb up Celeste mountain, with an Alter Ego that tries to discourage her from keep on going. Madeline frequently struggles from high levels of anxiety and stress and she quickly becomes easy to relate with in the need to accomplish something just for, well, the feeling. The game only slightly struggles from a touch - too - sensitive controls, especially while dashing. This game has great graphics and the soundtrack! Oh wow! But the game shines with witty dialogue, challenging but can be made easier gameplay, similar to Super Meat Boy, and finally the fact this game is only 20$! Get it. Well worth 20$, heck, even 30 and 40! (Okay, maybe not 40..)… Expand

    Really creative. The story is fantastic, cool old school platformer fun, and its proudly Canadian. There is a banff springs hotel level even.

    Just here to fix the rating cap. This game is absolutely amazing. Great story and great gameplay and AMAZING soundtrack. You will enjoy this game no matter who you are. And if you don't like difficult games, don't worry. There's an assist mode that can be turned on and off. Please play this game. It really is a masterpiece.

    Don't pay attention to the user score (6.1 as of writing). The game is very good. If you are a fan of platformers you should definitely play it. The people giving negative scores are most likely bad.

    Check the Steam scores and read reviews from people with taste.

    10 out of 10.

    (I was so disappointed in the low user scores that I had to jump in and give my three cents)

    Celeste is a challenging indie title that recaptures the life of what indie culture is all about; responsive controls, iconic soundtrack and progressive difficulty encapsuled in a 'pick up and play' nostalgia factory.

    This game is a masterpiece. The controls are great and you can chose the arrows or the analog sticks. Every death is rewarding, not frustrating and that makes this game a must have in this genre.

    After 30 years of this genre, I expected something a little more interesting. The difficulty controls are nice, but the gameplay is outdated and the content repetitive. A little more effort on the visuals would've been appreciated as well, in an age of truly impressive art styles in other games, but not here.

    I feel like I played better games than this decades ago.

    Celeste is not a frustrating but challenging game, because of that the accessibility that comes from is innovative for indie games.

    I’ll give credit where credit is due- Celeste has a wonderful message behind it and the way it presents it is nothing short of memorable. The added features to decrease the difficulty are also a nice touch, especially since we are living in the “git gud” generation and the dev was under no obligation to help make this hellish sub genre a little more beginner friendly.

Beyond this, however, Celeste is essentially just another difficulty fetish platformer in a market swamped in them. If you’ve played Super Meat Boy and its thousands of clones, you’ve kind of already played Celeste. Having not touched one since Meat Boy first came out, I wasn’t as burnt out on the genre and seeing it through to the end was worth it. For most, however, it’s just not something I can easily recommend at the $20 price tag. It’s a solid game, but by no means the 9 or 10 critics are giving it.… Expand

    Absolutely loved it

    Tight controls that never bugged out on me, fun evolving level design that never felt unfair, and a suprisingly engaging story.

    Celeste is my favorite game so far this year, and for very good reason.

I bought it the day it came out because I was so excited for it, and was happy to see that it still managed to blow my mind. The platforming is tight with controls that, though initially frustrating, can eventually be mastered. Each level felt like a treat to experience. Most people will only play to the ending and collect the many strawberries lying around in the game, but that is only the surface for people who want to take it farther. Each level develops its mechanics and reinforces them in enough ways that they feel well used. Then, the more difficult B sides continue to use the levels' mechanics in new, inventive ways so that they still feel fresh. The C sides string them together into challenge gauntlets that feel satisfying to complete. After that, there are golden strawberries to collect for finishing all the levels without dying. The game allows you to start at multiple places throughout its levels, so you can practice them to your heart's content before doing the run. Still more, the game keeps track of your fastest times completing each level.… Expand

    Celeste is, without a doubt, not just one of the best platformers ever made, but one of the best games ever made. Period.

The game not only respects your time (it saves your progress on every new screen), but also presents a level of difficulty that is admittedly tough, but oh so rewarding, since you learn more and more as you play. The most frustrating thing about Celeste is that I'll never have the chance to play it for the first time again. Yeah folks, it's that good. Platforming perfection that's also a great, satisfying challenge.… Expand

    I do not like perfection engines so this game is really not for me. This is sort of like an opposite Dark Souls. No weight to your death, die, repeat instantly until some combination of luck, skill, and luck gets you to the next screen, then repeat. The bonus collectibles have no value, so there is no point getting them unless you like extending the pain more.

The story and characters and animation are lovely, all top notch - its the gameplay I found infuriating. The use of the main d or analog stick to control both movement and the angle of your extended jump-dash is so imperfect, at least 30% of my 1000+ deaths in the end were caused by incorrect angles. It never feels like I am skilled, even in the end, it just feels like I got lucky. Because you die so often, the weight of her death is pointless...there is no thrill or intensity in the gameplay, just a dull throb as you grind through it. I did enjoy the run away from boss mechanism in the Hotel, but hated the endless screens of fighting the later boss. Great concept - my son who loves super-meatboy LOVES it - but it left me frustrated and annoyed.… Collapse

    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.
