Celeste combines artistic storytelling with fluid controls, mixed with well designed levels for challenges to create, an absolute gem of a game. If the charm in the look and the platforming difficulty wasn't enough, the Celeste game tackles issues of anxiety and mental health. Madeline goes through so much on her journey and we grow with her, learning along the way to deal and overcome. There's going to be a lot to complete, such as the Celeste B Side, C side, strawberries, and then the golden strawberries. But like Madeline, it can be done with one step at a time.

You did this video so seriously and I loved it!
If you don't complete Pikmin 2 for its 15th anniversary (August 30th), I will have the heart broken forever
I loved this but gotta say I understand you are the completionist but that's the thing it says they are for fun and if it's ever too much u can just not do it. A challenge is fun but just enjoy it and let it help not frustrate you
Sorry I dont gave twitch I'm sorry
I feel you my grandma passed away two days ago
Jirard, I'm afraid that chapter 9 may be the end for you.
The moon berry, oh god the moon berry, also the golden berry in chapter 9 looks like too much
That Branns I don't remember which version he played but every other version I imagine he did all of the achievements.
@@nicolasmoncada1554 The moon berry is not that hard. You get a checkpoint pretty quickly. The golden berry is nigh impossible though
Nicolas Moncada the moon berry isn’t too bad. The extra room is easier than some C sides, and the puzzle leading to it actually has a checkpoint before the hard part
@Momiji if you gave up on an eighth if the way through them the last half will probably have you rolling. You can't let the game best you, it'll do everything in it's power to do it but that should only fuel your determination
I remember first playing this game and thinking man, 7 main levels and 1 bonus level? Kinda short.
Boy was I wrong
For $20 you’re getting a lot, even without the DLC. And the DLC comes free.
@@SkyEGofAir seriously Now add a level editor *Because PLEASE*

I think the golden strawberries represent the true fear of claiming the mountain. We might be able to respawn over and over but in real life Madeline only has one life and by completing these golden strawberries you can truly feel the anxiety Madeline is feeling as she climbs this mountain becouse one small slip up could mean the end for her.
I really like this take on them.
I think on top of that there is also something to be said about how truly hard life can be until you are willing to accept help from others.
Yeah that’s probably what it is but it’s still not very fun
Inb4 pllatinum strawberry reach celeste summit in one life from start to finish.
yeah exactly, i don't know why they don't understand this
I appreciate it was Madeline’s choice to climb, she’s not here to save her family, not Isekaied, none of that amnesia crap, (I don’t hate these tropes, maybe overused) SHE wants to climb the mountain!
I couldn't agree more. I loved that there wasn't any greater reason to climb the mountain :)
*insert climbers IRL wanting to climb mountains who end up dying, leaving families without them*
She wants to prove to herself that she can do it which makes for a very powerful story!
She's saving herself
Lmao I love the Word "Isekaied"
What I loved was how death in this game isn't anything to be ashamed of. Honestly, showing how many times you died but kept playing is kind of a badge of honor.
Every death really feels fair you never die cheaply
@@spaceisspace1771 unless joycon drift
I just don't like that they count deaths on a level you've already beaten & don't at least make it a separate counter. It's really not rewarding when you try an optional challenge only to eventually quit for your own sanity because the challenge sucks but your death timer is permanently several hundred deaths higher on that level now, with nothing to show for it.

This is probably my favorite Indie game of all time. Such a beautiful game, story, and characters. This game got me through a rough time in my life.
Glad you got out of that dark time. I remember thinking everyone on this earth hated me because I was different. But I quickly learned I am loved and cared for. I even got rid of a toxic friend and so I'm much happier because of it.
Glad to hear that, you did that, that was your achievement.

I would still come back to the game and ended up with all C-side completed, 176 Strawberries, and 11,111 deaths. I tell my self "you don't need those golden strawberries..." I'm happy :)

I've been collecting those golden strawberries for the past month. I thought they were only on the A side.
"24 Golden Strawberries"
My soul is dying...
I've never played Celeste, but I know enough to say...
_May the strawberries have mercy on your soul._
25. You just have to be a TAS
I think I'm just gonna give in to assist mode...
@@TheDigitalZero You can also use variant mode if you really need to, unlike what jirard says the options from assist mode are in it as well (unlimited dashes, slow down time, etc.) so you can use it without receiving a permanent sticker on your main save.
Though I personally would never use it to skip a challenge like that just for the sake of completion, I'd rather just do everything I'm willing to do and keep it at that.
Imo, the golden strawberries are there as a contrast to the optimism the game otherwise expresses. There are some challenges you'd be better off ignoring. You have to be realistic or else you will just waste your time.
I like how with the story in Celeste, the problems are actually "there", you know? Like, the mountain is an actual mountain. Madeline's doppelganger is actually "there". The game doesn't pull a "it's all just one big mental dream/hallucination/whatever" with the whole thing, which I appreciate.
Absolutely. In a big way, this game does what so many people fail to do.
Ironically, my favorite level is the Old Site (level 2) which actually _did_ end as "yes this is a dream".
Star gel blocks are the best mechanic
@@electrum5579 Agreed they're very satisfying!
@@Stratelier And yet, the dream quite possibly affected the outside world, specifically, the activation of Dream Blocks.
The Golden Strawberriest feel like they go completely against the spirit of the game... until you realize that the game is about knowing your limits. And I don't mean "can I do this" limits.
I mean "SHOULD I do this" limits. Knowing your emotional limits as well as you might know your physical limits.
You're right - nobody probably should do the Golden Strawberry challenge. It's a hard and thankless task with a superficial reward that you're only taking on out of some misguided sense of pride or obligation. So why include it?
Because if they didn't, it wouldn't be a *choice.*
What value is there in a choice that someone else makes for you? What limits are you forcing yourself to stop and check, what restraint are you showing, if there's no bad-but-tempting choice to restrain yourself from?
If something like the Golden Strawberry wasn't there to tempt you into throwing all those lessons away... does the game have any proof you value those lessons at all?
It would be not wrong to call them "forbidden fruit".
Ooh, I really like this take on the golden strawberries.
Loved your comment. Just finished catching all of the strawberries and hearts, I think I'm finishing the bonus chapter and maybe, just maybe, playing the b-sides
Ok so an update for you guys. The bonus chapter is really hard. Wtf
Alisson França I had to use assist mode on chapter 9, that level is like a D-side, but it was worth it
It was really smart of you to complete this right before the DLC came out. I'd be surprised if that wasn't specifically your plan.
I think you've missed part of the lesson of the game if you think it's thrown out its core message with the golden strawberries. It isn't just teaching you patience or pushing through anxiety, it's teaching about coming to terms with that voice of anxiety and accepting it as a true part of yourself that is valuable. It's about learning to let go of goals that are too lofty and to be okay with, in fact, to expect a level of failure. Madeline doesn't overcome or destroy her shadow self in the third act, she integrates with it and realizes that she's able to make more progress when she accepts the idea of, the possibility of, and possibly even the inevitability of failure. That's what Celeste is about, and it would fail in teaching an even more important lesson than simple "patience" if it allowed the majority of completionist types to actually complete it. The point of the game is to teach you how to be okay with and satisfied with giving up at some point short of 100% completion. The game asks you to have an honest dialogue with the part of yourself that thinks you're utterly invincible and to accept that you have limits. THAT's a deep lesson; and it's an especially important one for the types of people who are drawn to this sort of challenging game.
I WILL NOT LET THIS GAME TEACH ME ANY LESSONS, I WILL GET 202 BERRIES!
well now i wanna do it out of spite to make this pretentious douchebag of a game shut its mouth (i wont cause i dont care that much but still the plots just annoying)

I haven't even played Celeste, but I can say that I see why people think it's one of the best games of 2018, because it does look really good.
I have played it, and I can confirm it is! I do feel that the controls can be a little too tight at times, but other than that, 9/10
Its okay if you start now but if you are broke watch lets play and listen to their music
@@younggamer7218 who
@@younggamer7218 because you're everywhere too.
@@VonMole he's talking about Christopher
Badeline is referred to as badeline in the steam trading card for her
Badeline's name came straight from the game's developers.
@@ToyKeeper well cool
Yeah i like her name
I feel the devs knew how insane the golden strawberries were that they didn’t include them in the achievements.
10k deaths for all of the 200 berries? Holy shit you're experienced. Really shows how all time game experience affects any game you play
Here's the way I see the golden strawberries.
I'm the sort of person who, when I 100% a game, I usually end up not playing it again because I feel like I don't have a reason to.
This is tragic when it comes to games like Breath of the Wild and Majora's Mask and Super Mario Galaxy and whatnot, great games that I just can't get myself to play again because I've seen it all and accomplished everything.
However, when it comes to the golden strawberries in Celeste (as well as the two secret strawberries which I imagine are even more difficult than the golden strawberries), I find that either I won't be able to complete some of them, or it'll be far in the future after tons of practice if I do.
What this means is that I'll technically always have a reason to come back to and play Celeste (which is my favorite platformer I've ever played), since I have that drive to 100% games I enjoy.
No matter what I'm doing in the game, I weirdly don't feel any stress because it feels so good to control the game, which makes grinding attempts for golden strawberries a weirdly therapeutic experience for me.
Anyway.
I see golden strawberries as a reason to potentially keep playing this game I love forever, and that motivation sits on top of the already enticing replayability of speedrunning the game, a task with a nearly-limitless skill ceiling which the game is designed to support.
I recognize not everyone is like this (in fact, I expect that few people are like this), but that's what I feel about it, personally.
Uh oh. Best finish what you started now that Chapter 9 has been released ;)

PawlogatesGD xd
I spent... 14 hours... On that.
Farewell to my sanity and the golden berry I refuse to get after my 13 572 deaths in ch 9
Wait I thought I was bad with 2900 deaths and 8 hours on farewell-
As someone who has three diagnosed anxiety disorders, they did a great job with the visuals and audio of Madeline's panic attacks.
Your experience with the Golden Strawberries almost reminds me of "perfectionism". Perhaps, in game, it's do-able, but at what cost? Perhaps knowing that progress will most likely be "flawed", learning to accept one's "failures", and maybe even embracing them as learning opportunities along the way, is ultimately more rewarding and genuinely fulfilling in the end.
This game is so good and I’m so glad your covering it!
Also so sorry to hear about your mom.
When you said Frasier as your therapist, for a second I thought Kelsey Grammer was going to pop up.

8:51 That’s actually her name in the game files.
Jirard, you have my utmost respect for doing the golden strawberries, that is a level of patience and dedication that I don't know I could ever accomplish
A one-of-a-kind game. As someone who suffers from depression, this game had a huge impact on me. It deserves every bit of praise it gets.
I've never gone for all the gold strawberries before, even though I can almost beat the game in 40 minutes (40:05 to be exact). Someday I would like to try that challenge from the point of view of a "speedrunner" who has never done it before!
That time is ridiculously fast for someone who has never even tried the golden strawberries. In fact, I almost don't believe you. And stop being modest, speedrunner doesn't go in quotation marks. You are a very good speedrunner.
@@elimarcus181
The fastest speedrun for this game is 26:29.
@@JameyMcQueen I know, but it still takes a lot of practice to get a 40:05
@@JameyMcQueen 40:05 is still really impressive. for whatever reason mid level celeste times appear much farther from the world record than mid level times in other games.

"Were not going to show it because that would just encourage him".... you are able to make a funny moment while still keeping everything serious for the sake of the game.

I love Celeste and I'm grateful for the lessons it has taught me about other people's mental health (mainly cause I haven't had much trouble with it till recently) and I see myself alot in Theo's role, a person to lend a hand and comfort someone. But as I see it I'm like a cozy campfire that smoulders in the dark offering relaxation to friends and family. Though one friend thought I would be able to solve all his problems so like he was dumping water on the campfire he kept pouring his problems on me and suffocating me in his mental health using my good nature as ammo if I raised concerns... (Mind you I was thirteen and all I could do was play games, encourage him, and offer advice. But I was no therapist) It eventually it got to the point where to escape I had to burn the tie of our friendship and because of this I'm now dealing with a new problem. My own mental health as I feel that my own family/friends are going to use and/or manipulate me to doing what they want. If you think your friends can be the people that you can dump your mental health onto. stop seek therapy please.
TL;DR I offer relaxation to friend and they use me till I now have my own mental health problems
Man, it's been a while since I played Celeste and I almost forgot how much I loved it. Until the first notes of the soundtrack started playing in this video ❤ Took me right back. Such a special game.
Edit: While I totally get your frustration about the golden strawberries (I don't think I'm even going to ever seriously attempt them, I haven't even unlocked the C-Sides yet), you gotta keep in mind that you're pretty much the only person in the world who is literally forced to complete games 100% ;) I think that sometimes gets a little lost in your reviews. For normal people, the golden strawberries are just a really difficult, optional challenge for the most hardcore of gamers. So I don't think it's a big deal if they somewhat go against the game's design philosophy. The game's story is long over at this point and it's really just the most difficult thing that you could put in the game, so they did it.

Almost cried watching this. Thank you for these wise messages Jirard, you are the best ❤
One of my favorite games from last year. It was such a fun, memorable game and I adored its themes. This was a spectacular episode, truly one of best Completionist videos in recent memory.
The ending of this episode made me cry. Having great people in your life is a blessing.
Oh THANK YOU FOR DOING THIS GAME. I love this game, the message, the gameplay, the design, everything. Thank you sooooo much!
Thank you for this video. You really nailed it on this video, this game is very special and this video reflects that. Thanks for letting me relive the magic of this game for a 2nd time!
Celeste is a game with so many levels to it:
- played it and initially connected with the themes about mental health and anxiety
- read Maddy's post about identity and gender and felt like coming back to it
- found a lot of meaning connecting the overwhelming challenge of Farewell to my own transition
thank you for the lovely video, shame there's no way to replace the bit with Maddy's deadname
Here’s something I was taught when dealing with my Anxiety and Depression. Everyone has it.
Those with Anxiety and Depression disorders simply don’t have the tools (whether through chemical imbalances in the brain, or a lack of yet-to-be-learned coping mechanisms) to deal with those perfectly human experiences.
The acknowledging of these problems as UNIVERSAL does not diminish or take away from the severity to which they can be experienced as an individual.
But it IS supposed to let you know you are not alone.
If your mind is telling you that you are alone and hopeless, that is Satan. Whether you believe that’s Satan figuratively or literally (let’s just think of it as a force for evil). It’s not good. Fight it.
Fighting is hard, but it’s an enemy worth having. Beat that bastard.
But you cant fight your evil
you have to know it is a "part of you" (okay that pun wasnt intended) and understand it
@@seantaggart7382 accepting that the problem exists is always the first step, but it doesn't make it go away

This video was absolutely beautiful. I started Celeste yesterday and just finished chapter 3. I felt so bad for Mr. Oshiro. You’re an amazing soul, love your stuff!
14:46 I bet for a split second you were freaking out like "noooooo!" as you got all the way to the end of that difficult level and then bounced off that heart. Good thing the developer had the mercy to allow your dashes to recharge so you could hit it again. Reminds me of how I found out the hard way on the Oshiro C-Side that even if you dash through the heart if Oshiro is in the middle of charging you he will kill you even after you grab the heart making you have to start over.
That piano passage that happens at 6:13 has haunted my dreams for at least a year now, so glad i finally found where its from and cant wait to start writing new music based around it, thanks Jirard!

@@doctormentha5383 It's not a long ways away, I think they're just working on porting it atm. It's a free DLC, Chapter 9, supposed to be 100 screens or so at C-side difficulty and over.
Luis Rivera c sides are 3 screens and i cant beat them all. I have no hope for that lol.
Celeste: the first game where the gameplay is actually linked to the story and wouldn’t work without it.
Okami was released on 2007 wym
Bio shock also came out in 2007, you need to play more games dude.
I think he means as in the gameplay helping you experience the story as in, you failing to complete a level failing to convey a story, but i still disagree with him, one example i really like is "what remains of edith finch"
BTW: i wasn't saying the previously given examples don't fit, i know very little about okami and bioshock has always felt more separated between gameplay and story even with the moral choices and all
EDIT 2: he also says the story wouldn't work without the gameplay, and he's right, the story is pretty plain at surface value and wouldn't work that greatly on a book or film, its the kind of story that's meant to be a game, whereas, while bioshock's gameplay enhances the story, the story could probably be told in a myriad of other mediums
Jirard, I don't know if it was the mental health discussion at the beginning, the soothing music of Celeste, or just me being weird, but I saw the semi-new opening (new for me at least- sorta quit watching your videos for a while), and it almost brought me to tears! I am so glad to see you still making videos and still caring about your fans. I watched your videos a lot during the two years I was in and out of the hospital; they had a nice format and you were always super fun to watch, so it calmed me down when everything seemed uncertain. I'm now much healthier, and I always return to your videos when I need a laugh. Thank you for everything that you do- I hope life brings you the success and happiness you deserve. ♡
Amazing work as ever, both here and during Indieland. Can't wait for next year. Stay awesome, Jirard and crew.
The artwork in between the different sections of the video look amazing.

Thank you for doing this work of art justice, Jirard.

Mental health affects us all. I have seen with my own eyes how powerful it can be. We need to do away with stigma and start talking collectively about the reality of mental health. Games like this are great and take courage. Thank you, Jirard, for sharing this with us.
