I beat this game years ago but seeing how it's the 6th anniversary and how it's a game I adore so much it's worth a review. The gorgeous pixel art and addicting gameplay made it an instant classic when I played it.

Celeste is easily one of the best puzzle platformers of all time, it can get really difficult but it does it in a way that motivates me to keep going forward. When you die it only restarts you from the room you died in and very instantaneously so you can get back right in the action and keep adapting to it's obstacles with a fresh memory. It doesn't waste your time and still lets you feel satisfied overcoming it.

The game does a marvelous job at constantly introducing new gameplay mechanics while still keeping the same relative movement and it doesn't get old. It's insane how much variety they packed into it's many levels.

It's worth applauding the story too which even in it's limited form is able to tell a captivating tale of overcoming our inner insecurities and anxieties being able to have it's humorous moments and still nail a strong emotional journey.
