Never got around to playing this game before. Holy shit it is a GOAT. Who knew a GDQ-bait platformer could be so touching.

(and yes, I am actually stuck at this fucking thing. No spoilers please.)

You got this! One of the many things I loved about this game was how I never felt like I took a cheap death or the controls fucked me over. It was just HARD. Beautiful game in every aspect.

I didn't come all this way for nothing.

This game gave me a good cry, absolutely beautiful. Soundtrack is a banger too

For a relatively short game, it is incredible how much character development they manage to cram in there and how relatable it is. I think Mother 3 is the only other game that has tugged at my heartstrings like this.

What game is that? The graphics are pretty.

Celeste, it's a game about climbing a mountain

I like games about climbing. You ever play "getting over it"? It can also be described that way. You play as Diogenes and his house.

Jusant is supposed to be a pretty good climbing game too.

Thank you very much for putting that on my radar.

Mountains come in many forms theory-gary

This one got me stuck for a good long time, but I believe in you.

Oh man, I feel like I died on that section at least 100 times. The worst/best thing was getting past a portion to reveal more of the screen and not having any clue where you needed to go next (then dying and having to do it all over again).

That loop somehow straddles the line between frustrating and addicting.

I think knowing you’re near the end pushes you through even though it’s super hard.
