Lots of fun! The soundtrack is great and goes well with the fast-paced platforming. Later parts of the game are a little annoyingly difficult.
this game bangs, and while the story falls a little flat on the predictably sappy side, the rest of it is sick enough to more than make up for it
Amazing game.
Never really tried or been too interested in platform games like this but Celeste was really special.
The mechanics all were super tight and fun to use, progression throughout the game was done really well too. Definitely challenging but never felt unfair.
That these things all are wrapped into a compelling story make it even better.

The perfect platformer. Some of, if not the best controls in any platformer ever. The game features charm, emotional moments and difficulty in a neat little package.
the best 2d platformer ever made
i can't rate this higher because i have a deep and raw hatred for precision platformers and this game is no exception. most of my favor for this comes from its packaging: the music is excellent, the story is compelling, and the graphics' retro aesthetic works well. i just don't actually enjoy playing it after a certain point. am i a fake gamer girl? you be the judge
Top three games ever. It's fantastic
the only thing that keeps this from being the best 2d platformer ever made is that you can't ride an egg laying horse in this one.
This game is fine tuned within an inch of perfection. The levels are inventive, the story is better than it has any right to be and the challenge is as brutal as you want it to be.
Also every track on the OST is a certified bop.

This game is a perfect platformer in every way, has amazing pixel art, a very deeply moving story, and an all time favorite soundtrack. It also has the best difficulty system ive ever seen. It is quite challenging but its more than worth the effort, and if it still seems like too much please dont hesitate to use assist mode.
I liked the game but really like that Madeline was trans and it wasn't a big deal
Tight platforming, immaculate pixel art, strong characters, and well implemented core level design concepts, Celeste is another one of those indie games that lived up to all the hype when I finally got around to playing it. I am not as ride or die for this game as some of my friends, but I loved my experience with it and found it very charming and fun. I liked the story more than I thought I would (so many people had told me it was about depression so I went in expecting it to be a little hammy and was pleasantly surprised at the allegory)
I didn't 100 percent it or anything, but could be convinced to give it another shot in a year or two.

This isn't my favorite game ever, but it might be a perfect game? Everything from the music to the controls to the story to the level design all clicks together so beautifully. I honestly don't know what there is to criticize about this one.
Fantastic and refined platforming mechanics, a great soundtrack and a solid story.
One of the only indie games I ever really got into
Pretty good, though challenging at times. Story is surprisingly well for a pixel platformer and the music is just as awesome. Would recommend it!
After watching the latest Game Maker Toolkit’s video about Celeste, I felt the itch to re-climb the Mountain.
This is such a wonderfully and excellently designed game!
The music, the mechanics, the story, it’s all fantastic.
Challenging, but far from impossible, and oh-so rewarding.

A beautiful, probably flawless little game that made me realize I just don’t love puzzle platformers all that much.
The only masocore platformer I know of that's more than just hard.
I was incredibly surprised that I enjoyed Celeste - traditionally my lowest scores are always aimed at platformers; I'm far too impatient to battle poor controls and continuously miss that rocky platform by a millimetre, again and again.
Luckily Celeste has broken this trend and my drought around enjoying the platformer genre - I couldn't be happier!
Amazingly tight controls and well designed, caringly put together levels makes your fingers sing as you dart about the stage; completely flabbergasted by your own ability - it feels like someone else is playing for you.
Any game that makes you feel like a ridiculous magician is an incredibly empowering experience, and the exact factor that makes video games such a unique art form - it actually makes dying a fun learning experience, completely counter to my historic feelings on this type of game.
The messaging on this game around mental health is also a contemporary joy - a topic on everyone's minds in recent years, and not at all executed in a ham-fisted way; the characters are relatable but don't detract from the raw gameplay with cutscenes or cliffhangers.
My advice on this would be to absolutely play it on the Switch - taking this on the go (despite the loud screeching noise you'll make when you've finally tackled that level) enhances it even further.

im in love with this game
One of the few games I couldn't put down until I beat. Engaging characters, funny writing, outstanding gameplay, that worm feeling you get when you help someone, this game has it all! A great feel-good experience on the switch that anyone can enjoy. A personal favorite.
this is tied for my favorite game about a woman climbing up a legendarily arduous mountain
Starting my account off with a virtue signal rating just to make sure people know I'm on the level here. This game is a perfect platformer - except for a couple of the tougher tricks not being tutorialized very well. Bonus points for being an indie pixel platformer that actually gets pixel graphics right.
so much fun. failing is part of the process.
too brilliant
This game tossed half of 2D Mario into the bargain bin.
Amazing platformer. Perfect in basically every way
The fun of challenging level design, but with the forgiveness to make it accessible.
I am a big dummie and this game was too hard for my dumb dumb brain
