Celeste is a narrative-driven single-player adventure game that features classic/retro gameplay. Controls are simple, slide, jumped, dash through thin air, and climb mountains, but, the journey will be very difficult. With layers of expressive depth to master, where every death is a lesson. This is it, this is everything you’ve been waiting for!
Celeste’s optimism is refreshing, especially since it comes from within. It’s a call-and-response, a game that says Keep going! and waits for your next button press as confirmation, I will! You’re learning! and with every death, every obstacle stumbled against and overcome, you say I am! It’s a marriage of theme and mechanics so pure, so confident. And one hell of a platformer, too.
