I haven't played much of it and I have not completed everything, but this game is truly amazing. The platforming is fun and the game has cool mechanics added to each different section of the game. The graphics are awesome! I highly recommend the game!

Best game I've ever played. I never get tired of playing it. The movement is smooth as butter and the platforming design is unparalleled. It cleverly weaves the gameplay into the storytelling, further elevating the already beautiful narrative. The visual aesthetic is charming, and the detail never fails to impress me. The music composed by Lena Raine is irreplaceable, and is a defining part of the experience. Simply put, I have never seen a better game. No other title manages to do it all. Nothing is like Celeste.

Celeste is a personal journey of resolve. It's a story about determination to climb a mountain in the face of depression, anxiety, and lost hope. I found playing through Celeste to be almost meditative. If you give it a chance, Celeste may even teach you things about yourself.
The gameplay can be very challenging, and at times punishing. But, always in the end, rewarding. I had never played a precision platformer before, and I was glad to see that the game ramps-up difficulty in a natural way.
The story and gameplay are accompanied by beautiful pixel art, an overall great visual theme, and enjoyable music. I did personally have to turn down screen shake and foreground effects opacity using the "Extended Variant Mode" mod so I could play without significant distractions, but I don't think most people will need this.
I don't think I can explain assist mode any better than the in-game explanation:
"Assist Mode allows you to modify the game's rules to fit your specific needs. This includes options such as slowing the game speed, granting yourself invincibility or infinite stamina, and skipping chapters entirely. Celeste is intended to be a challenging and rewarding experience. If the default game proves inaccessible to you, we hope that you can still find that experience with Assist Mode."
At the time of writing, I have died 22,708 times while playing Celeste. I'm proud of that number, because it represents 22,708 times I've refused to give up.
You can do this.

Although steam says I ONLY have 170 hours in Celeste (at time of writing this) I have actually played more like 400. This game helped me start exploring my own mental health and has helped me greatly when I felt really down. My very first play through of Celeste took me 11 hours and I used assist mode for some of it. This game really is designed for everyone to experience the story and joy of over coming the mountain.
Pros,
Very polished
Sound track is a BANGER
Impacting story that still is with me to this day
Feel good movement
Great for speed running
accessibility settings for its difficulty that is not just random labels like "easy" or "hard"
Overall really fun!
Cons:
Normally really hard (try assist mode if you struggle with it, no shame!!)
You will be glued to this game until you beat the main story... or until you 100% it..
Overall, Really good, changed my life for the better!!! 20/10 must play!!

this game makes you want to kill yourself, however its satisfying when you are able to breeze through a room like a pro in only like 10 seconds after youve died like 50 times. if you like challenging games then get celeste. while the main story isnt too hard, the B and C side versions of the chapters are extremely tough and make you say all swear words written in the dictionary. overall story and art is good and the soundtrack and level design is a masterpiece.
CHAPTER 2 MUSIC I JAM TO YOU EVERY TIME I HEAR YOU
also has mod support so you can play even harder levels than the main campaign has to offer

I 100% the game and I'm still not better than the average player probably. Now I play modded and I am still learning new tech and mechanics.
