I tend to not give max rating on reviews for the simple reason that, simply put, nothing is perfect, but I simply couldn't justify giving Celeste a lower score than this, it's not my favorite game of all time, but I wouldn't be able to name a single flaw that this game has. The music is amazing and I listen to it regularly on Spotify (Lena Raine's musics are always bangers), the art style is beautiful, the controls are smooth af, the characters are very likable and the story is very well executed and really contributes to put a meaning in the difficulty.
The game also has very diverse mechanics that always keep the stages fresh and a ton of secrets to discover, the amount of high quality content that you get by such a small amount of money is crazy. All of this and more is what makes Celeste, without a doubt, one of my favorite platformers of all time.
