Wonderful game filled with beautiful music and some gameplay that is incredibly rewarding but simultaneously made me tear my hair out. Movement system is incredible, man i love trans ppl
It's cute, it's charming, it's challenging without being overly frustrating, it's wonderfully designed, Celeste is genuinely one of the best platformers of all time. Restricting it to just 2D would undermine how amazing it truly is. For how few controls it has, it does a lot with them; you really only have a jump, dash and climbing maneuver, yet the developers add so many new ideas in that keep the individual chapters fresh, culminating in The Summit which is straight up one of the best levels in anything. The music is mostly relaxing but knows when to get you pumped up for a difficult section, the sprite-work is gorgeous, and I could spend so, so long talking to Theo and the Granny - I've come to absolutely adore the "voice-acting". The side-content is ingrained into the main levels so well, and obtaining the strawberries isn't some ridiculous challenge, it's mostly just being smart - which I am not - with your moves. The bossfights (especially Chapter 3 [actually all of Chapter 3 sucks, fuck you Oshiro]) kind of suck for the most part, but some of my favourite moments also occurred during one later on, and it gives the game a large sense of identity so I'm conflicted about them. Other than that well... I love the story, I love the music, I love Madeline (and Badeline) - I fucking love this game.
Gay game, good game
Ni siquiera se me dan bien los plataformas, pero esto es una obra de arte
This is one of those games that I really want to like. I’ve tried nearly a dozen times to get it to “click” and it never does.
I always bounce off of it and I’ve never entirely understand why.
Sure, the platforming is precision machined but maybe the fact that the game is too forgiving with its checkpoints leads to a lack of stakes or tension for someone like me that isn’t going to go for every strawberry.
I also think the levels might be too long and that the game forces you to spend too much time in individual biomes.
The story’s presentation, at least early on, may also be a bit too sappy and not engaging.
Idk. I know people really love this game and what I’ve played of it is fine. But it’s lacking something crucial.
Good OST, though.
