I'm going to start writing reviews solely because I need to remind myself why I initially liked certain games and not think I overrated them.

Celeste has stunning visuals, and an immersive soundtrack and even though I haven't played many platforming games at all before, the mechanics really felt fresh and unique.

The story isn't anything huge but its really cute with its bright characters and SUCH an uplifting plot that I got goosebumps multiple times during chapter 7. It was something about the dopamine that comes from clearing a level while our character reconciles with her personified depression that is just so beautiful.

I've only finished the base game but am SOO looking forward to experiencing the entire thing (going for 100%), cant wait for Earthblade as well!
