    For once, I absolutely agree with IGN. Don't think a game has ever gotten me to think, "this is really fun" in the first 5 minutes. Half way through I already knew this was a masterpiece. Oddly enough, what I enjoyed the most was the voices. When Madeline was scared or sad, the high pitch squeaking made it feel more believable than any voice acting I've ever heard.

    I still have yet to buy Celeste, but I got to participate in an AMA with the devs. I thanked them for the assist because my disability causes me to really struggle with platformers like this...and I have experienced a lot of what Madeline has. They responded that everyone has their own mountain to climb, and that the game is about each person approaching challenges in a way that’s right for them. They definitely deserve the praise.

    It is absolutely worth a 10. I got a game that I thought would be a cute, beautiful, fun platformer by the creators of Tower Fall and instead, I got an immensely satisfying, gorgeous game with one of the most memorable soundtracks and story lines I've come across to date. The ending was so beautiful, it nearly brought me to tears, because I could relate to the character so closely. This is a game about a girl who wants to climb a mountain, but more importantly, it is a game that communicates the idea that depression is not only common, but that the experiences faced in it are as well. Madelline's character development through the characters, how she perceived and judged them and how they affected her blew me away. Many games, movies, books, songs, even have tried to create a narration on depression by introducing a character with problems and along the line, another character comes along that seemingly cures the depression, but sadly that is just not how life goes. This game so accurately illustrates the battle of depression and what it takes to fight it. It's not about leaving a part of you behind, it is about understanding why that part of you is there and how you need to live with it. We very often find mountains or goals to climb for self achievement only to find ourselves being pushed off of a cliff... on our own accord.I love this game. It has affected me more than any other result of a medium has in my life. If you are bipolar, have panic attacks, PTSD, depression, or anything else, please get this game... it might just flip a switch in your brain that wakes you up and changes your life.

    As difficult as this game is (and yeah the multiscreen rooms almost had me throwing my controller in frustration) it's also very relaxing. It never punishes you for failing, and never rubs it in your face. You're just told to keep trying, that you'll eventually make it. The fact that each room is a checkpoint and reloading is very quick helps too. The artwork and characters are all very charming. If you make it to the top you do really feel like you (and Madeline) accomplished something.

      @Bragglord Před 5 lety +5

      See, this is a classic example of what I like to call 'the toast vs the steak'.
      Tell me, what is more impressive: a flawless slice of toast with butter or a filet mignon that is a little overcooked? Because I'll take the steak any day.
      The fact of the matter is, the argument that 'it does exactly what it sets out to achieve' only bears any weight when the thing in question actually sets out to do something impressive.
      I could design a game for Xbox One called 'Chess'. It would be a 2D game with basic sprite animations with different difficulties. And you would play chess. And that's it (I'll throw in some multiplayer too, maybe even online). Technically, I've perfectly recreated the game of chess on XB1 and done exactly what I've set out to achieve. Would I deserve any awards for that? Absolutely not.
      It's the same principle here.

    • @regularrandomperson7108
      @regularrandomperson7108 Před 5 lety +24

      Under the circumstances that you seemingly provided, I agree that simply because a product necessarily achieves it’s goal doesn’t necessarily means it’s a impressive product. However, I like to entertain the belief that the goal Celeste sets out to achieve is quite impressive than what you may perceive it to be. I can’t exactly speak for you, but in my eyes the game sets out to explore the internal and external conflicts that its protagonist is simultaneously experiencing, while allowing a variety of players with different skill levels to play through and succeed. Given that description. I’d say that’s a pretty hefty challenge for anyone to take upon themselves to go after.
      You theoretically could achieve your goal of creating Chess on Xbox One, but the problem with how you go about it isn’t due to the goal being unimpressive, but how the product seems to lack passion that would allow it to be an engaging experience for the audience that would likely consume it. That’s not a problem that Celeste seems to have that would allow me to agree with your perspective, given the critical and fan reception that it has received.
      To follow up your question. I do agree that the steak would be impressing from the description you gave to me. However, I firmly assume I would most likely enjoy the bread more for what it provided in correlation with my taste for steak not being the fondest. Thus, I’d rate the piece of toast higher than the steak. Luckily for me, I perceive Celeste as well made chocolate cake with special icing I’m not used to.

    It would usually take me an average of 2 hours to beat each level, I wouldn't actively go hunting for strawberries behind fake walls because I was usually determined to finish the chapter and see what more story the game could reveal to me. However, if I saw a strawberry, I would very damn well try my best (and succeed, eventually) in getting it. I took a day's break after each chapter from the deep messages you'd see at the end of the chapter(s). For someone who has issues with depression, this game has done its best to reveal the theme of not conquering anxiety and self-doubt; but controlling it in the most wholesome, heartwarming ways possible. For that reason, Celeste is my favorite game, and has been since I bought it in January of 2019.

    Graphics graphics graphics. How shallow minded can people be? Stop judging the games overall aesthetic by the technical spec and examine what REALLY makes it look good: the art style. Personally, I prefer colourful, cartoony and vibrant art styles. So to me, Mario odyssey looks better than Star Wars battlefront.

Although the story is not so personal or connected to real life issues, if you already think this game is beautiful and has a fitting soundtrack, Hollow Knight should blow you away. It also features the same tight and very precise controls and tough platforming sections, but combines that with an amazing fighting system and 20-40 hours worth of content for only 15$.

      Dude, the game is fricking hard! I've been playing it over the last month and I have barely finished A-sides, B-sides and collected every collectible heart, crystal heart and strawberry in those levels but it so happens that the game offers an even harder set of C-sides, and a new set of collectible golden strawberries that are rewarded upon completing every single A, B and C-side level withouth dying. There's also crazy achievements like the "1-Up achievement" which require you to gather five strawberries in a row without touching the ground, which is insanely hard! And to top it all there's even a secret golden strawberry that you can only acquire by completing the first level of the game without using your dash ability, forcing you to rely on glitches like jumping of spikes, an almost impossible and utterly frustrating feat, only worthy of the highest dificulty a platformer can reach. Heck, it might even be harder than SMB.

    Is there any combat or is it just alot of platforming and jumping puzzles? Do you backtrack like metroidvania style games or only go forward. I just platinumed salt and sanctuary and I'm looking for a new indie game to play for $15-20. It's between hollow knight, this, and momodora right now

    I'll be buying it now, thanks. I've been looking for a really great platformer ever since I beat Shovel Knight.

      OFIR I only have a PS4 a Nintendo switch so I can't play cuphead and the other 2 games you name are too dark. I like cans with color, those Bleak world's make me unhappy.

      Wade Williams The Switch is honestly the perfect home for every good Indie. Super Meat Boy sold almost as many copies on the Switch as it's life long sales on every other console.

    I don't think enough reviewers are highlighting how profound this game is in the way that it approaches mental health. As someone who has suffered depression most of their adult life I found this game to be incredibly cathartic in it's combination of frank conversation cutscenes and symbolism.
    Could not recommend this game enough. Best $30 (Australian) I've spent.

    Fair enough, the gameplay, music and art style are definitely top notch, I haven't gotten far enough to really explore the story yet but thats fantastic to hear it tackles real world issues in an entertaining and relatable way.
    Congrats on earning a 10 Matt Makes Games!👌
