My hands actually hurt from gripping the Switch but I couldn’t stop, and when I finally landed on the other side of one of the many gauntlets that Celeste wears like a medal, I felt both relief and curiosity as to what it would throw at me next. It’s a rewarding experience and a game that I’m honoured to issue a perfect score.
Celeste is an exemplary amalgamation of style, mechanics and character. A devilishly brilliant action platformer with enough skill required to excite genre purists and the speed running community, while at the same time featuring a breakdown of gameplay elements to customize and cater for all audiences. While the game mechanically is great, if familiar, the art style and narrative are truly special, showing both a visual and emotional range and depth that will resonate and inspire. Celeste is the absolute peak of personal exploration and discovery on Nintendo Switch.
Perfeito. Excelente como jogo de plataforma 2D. O desafio só aumenta a cada fase. Difícil, mas você se sente muito recompensado quando supera os obstáculos e avança no jogo. Parabéns aos desenvolvedores.
Celeste is probably the greatest surprise in 2018 so far. Its marvelous platforming, great mechanics, lovely visuals and lovely soundtrack simply make this a must have for anyone who loves 2D platformers.
Celeste is a challenging, charming and near-to-perfection game that doesn't only play well, but also tells a poignant story and merges this with all the best qualities you can expect from a platformer.
It may take a certain type of patience to really get hooked into Celeste's laboriously challenging masochism, but it’s undeniably a well-crafted and thoughtfully designed experience that’s equally satisfying as it is unyielding.
This is not a bad game, it has a modest visual and sound, although they are performed harmoniously. But the gameplay will be fully enjoyed only by those who like to physically memorize every movement of the route on a specific section and repeat it dozens of times before success (at least if you want to master 100% of the content). If you skip about half, you can run through the plot and improvise, but it's not too much fun to skip half of the game, because it can only be completed in the only way, or not in any way, and all this is not with the most responsive controls and average accuracy of hitboxes. It works great on **** story is OK, the atmosphere will do, the gameplay is not good for everyone, and this is the main drawback of this game. Even though my skill is above average in games, I couldn't have as much fun as I was promised by those who gave it 10/10. If you like everything I described above, it's 8/10, but if not, then no more than 6.5/10.
This game has an incredible gameplay! There´s not much to talk about, but I can still point out that i got myself not knowing where to go quite some times... and I am not the guy who likes to watch guides, so that was very underwhelming.
A very overrated game with nothing too special. The great feature is the soundtrack, which is really good, but the rest of the game is just like any other indie shovelware. It would deserve a 6, maybe a 7, but I gave it a 4 because the saddest thing is that the game is hyped by the specialized media just because the political views and connections of the author, which is a very disgusting fact.
Coming from games like Hollow Knight and The Messenger, I was pretty disappointed about spending $20 on this game(thanks hype machine!). Unlike HK or TM, this game controls like a turd. The graphics are nothing to write home about and neither is the music. You know modern gaming journalism is a joke when mediocre games keep getting high scores. If you are a thinking person who doesn't gets easily swayed by pathetic hyping, this is a hard pass. If you absolutely must play this game, just wait until it's on sale for like 10$ or lower
