I have played a ton of games in my time that have stuck in my mind as something special, but nothing has ever stayed in their like Celeste. I can't help but be drawn into it's world and themes and story and gameplay and music and just fall in love with it all. Speaking as someone who goes through a lot, be it my dysphoria, or my depression, its nice having a game that I can just personally relate to in every single aspect. I like its message too on overcoming your mental health, even if it seems like an impossible climb. The way this feeds into the game with it actively encouraging you to keep pressing forward, and to be proud of your death count, it hits home. This game is truthfully my favorite game of all time and I don't see that changing anytime soon. I'll be coming back to it till the end of time.
