Honest Game Trailers | Celeste

[@CeHee123]

The sweetest little indie game that crushes your spirit while lifting it up at the same time. I've never seen a game so friendly while still being so challenging.

[@turbo8628]

Rayman for ps1 was friendly looking... and challenging. Downright unfair is more accurate though to be fair.

[@Volvagia1927]

And as of now they, literally, have only ONE Game Awards Game of the Year nominee to give an honest trailer to: INSIDE. Hope to see that at some point.

[@ericpeterson7712]

then like 2/3rds way through it, after amounting over 1,000 deaths (at least) it tells you not to feel bad about how many times you died, because that means how many times you have tried! OMG!!

[@BlueShellshock]

"Yes, I beat Celeste!" "Oh, did you do all the C-sides?" "C-sides?" "Yeah, the ones that come after the B-sides?" "...B-sides...?"

[@Tortferngatr]

“Alright. I’ve beaten the C-sides AND Chapter 9, AND I got a few golden strawberries, including the one from doing 1A dashless, AND this game has helped me figure out my gender IRL. Am I done yet?” “Have you tried the mod that adds D-sides?”

[@nebulae5236]

“Alright I beat the D sides it was a long and hard 200 hour journey but it’s finally complete. Thank god’s there’s nothing else” “Hey do you wanna hear about the hardlist” “NOPE!”

A Celeste- a game that punishes your hands while offering mental health therapy. Good times :)

[@SSuser-go7jm]

As I’ve always said - The maingame of Celeste cures your depression, the optional content gets you depressed again so you need to replay the game.

[@mattbriddell9246]

100% accurate review. I have never played a game that managed to be both an absolute pain in the ass and an absolute delight at the same time until I played Celeste.

[@djsmashbal]

Like a wise person once said, The idea is simple, the execution is not. This phase is basically the whole game.

[@djsmashbal]

Yes

[@TonyTheTGR]

When you can launch alongside a Zelda game and come out with 10/10 reviews, you've done something more than just "right"

[@eurelax1977]

Climbing a mountain in real life? Can you imagine!! That would be crazy!

[@Excelsior1937]

Yeah, crazy. Like, what are you going to do when the mountain you’re climbing manifests your anxieties in the form of flying eyeball monsters that want to murder you?

[@cassiedevereaux-smith3890]

This is honestly the first time one of these has made me feel grateful for it. I hope this really spurs people to go out and give it a try. It's SO good, and as hard as it is, the whole thing of playing one screen at a time makes it feel manageable. TRY THIS GAME, folks. It's a treasure.

[@Stratelier]

And even if it's still too hard, the game features "Accessibility" options ranging from merely slowing down the gameplay (to give you more reaction time) to outright invulnerability, and it won't even judge you if you decide to use it.

[@orsolyafekete7485]

Wait. WAIT. The game design itself is also a metaphor?! About taking things in small steps and not giving up even if you fail a few times (or a lot)? Maybe not, but this comment made me think of that

[@Tortferngatr]

⁠@@orsolyafekete7485 Also a metaphor for self-acceptance!

[@TheOddHog]

As someone with 500 hours, I couldn’t agree more

[@cassiedevereaux-smith3890]

@@orsolyafekete7485 I love this interpretation!!

[@celesteenglish8916]

Warning, side effects of playing Celeste may include: Acute frustration Loss of thumb skin Questioning your gender Crying at the difficulty of facing internal demons Crying in long-awaited triumph

[@dippyfresh1635]

Remember to drink water after all that crying

[@bridgetbat7422]

Loss of thumb skin is too real 💀

[@nebulaayt]

I suffered all of those at once playing this game. My thumb's skin has been torn off and my gender is now female. 10/10 would recommend!!!!

[@axoluna]

I have my skin on my fingers still but I am a woman now so

[@Matzu-Music]

3 and 4 are so apt

[@zombieguy4444]

Celeste is my favorite game of all time, so I’m happy you guys covered it

[@chrism93lol]

One of the most beautifully and carefully crafted games ever made. It's so so thoughtful at every level of game design and you can feel the love so deeply.

[@maiapetersen8892]

Hows the transition going?

[@curtandrewsjr.8163]

same.

[@Aukejorrit]

I speedran this last week for charity. After only 4 weeks of simple training i finished Core% in 1:30 minutes. Such a great accomplishment for me personally. I have rarely felt so proud of a gaming achievement! And such a good feeling that i did it for a good cause!

[@Reviachi]

Took me a second to realize that’s an hour and a half, and not a minute and 30 seconds. Had me questioning life for a second there.

[@autumn4442]

Yeah, that's actually pretty fast, well done!

[@DannyboyO1]

The thing that enabled me to complete this game was the accessibility feature to slow it down to half speed. I needed that extra time to make sure my dashes were in the correct direction, and not one of the ones next to it. I've been playing video games for decades, that's not a skill problem, that's not a training issue, that's a physical limit of my flesh. Hell, it's not even unrealistic. Once recovered from a spin on a highway after the guy in front of me... I think he slammed on the brakes so the cop with the signal to stay in the right lane would be a witness, because we were *in* the right lane and there was no reason for him to do that. Adrenaline slowed everything down, and I was able to regain control (going in reverse, sadly) and then safely get to the shoulder. Real life has this feature, and I think it needs to be in more games! ^_^

[@benjaminlee985]

It's a lot easier to aim your dashes with a keyboard instead of a d-pad.

[@rubixtheslime]

​@@benjaminlee985 can confirm. in my experience, keyboard > notched stick > dpad > unnotched stick. notched stick got me to 7C, but keyboard got me out. that said i'm also glad they included the accessibility options and don't really punish you for using them. i was too stubborn to use them myself, but i like others being able to enjoy the games i enjoy

[@ThePoodle]

meanwhile, @ParrotDash is out here beating the hardest levels ever created by the community with an unnotched stick. Never say never.@@rubixtheslime

[@piemaster1288]

If you really want to crush your spirit, play the free DLC chapter 9. That thing was brutal, so much so that I nearly turned on assist mode just to get through it.

[@lysjehh3806]

After, chapter 9 is released for tryharder who have do all face C 😂

[@melted_nl]

and explore the strawberry jam mod afterwards

[@lysjehh3806]

I'm almost done with chapter 9.. this is one of the hardest things I've ever had to do in any game 10/10

[@ziwuri]

once you finish it it, go chill out with some Strawberry Jam :)@@kurincc

[@greenhydra10]

I live how the intro is like "We would've done this a while ago, but the people who choose weren't here back then". Because that's the only sane reason it would take so long.

[@Markeplier23]

So glad fandom games talked about this hidden gem! I love supporting indie devs. The switch pro comes out tomorrow

[@prime7213]

Celeste is my favorite hidden gem I wish it got more attention. I already have the switch bro my dad is Miyamoto

The Celeste experience in a nutshell: "How tf is anyone able do this?" "Oh, that really isn't too bad" "NOO! I was so close :(" "Can I PLEASE stop doing that!" "Nice! That was pretty fun."

[@charlesajones77]

The best pure platformer I've ever played.

[@FCRacer]

Celeste is a game where when you finish the main game, you should go back and revisit from the a new game. You'll be amazed at how much you remember from your first playthrough and how a room where you might have died 100 times you clear in less than 10 deaths. And in before speedrunners get mad that goo monsters weren't called dust bunnies.

[@AkioHaRdCoRe]

i absolutely love this game and the final chapter farewell even made my cry a LOT it was my game of the year in 2018 next to crosscode

[@FelipeKana1]

Finally a Celeste trailer ❤

[@parsisious6349]

I´ve been looking forward to this for a looong time. A little sad the speedrunning community wasn´t mentioned but I laughed at so many points of this

[@arieldodelson179]

Oh my god finally! tysm!

[@SylviaRustyFae]

0:43 As a queer trans person and as a mentally disabled person, i cant unsee the symbolic meanin of this monument And every time i see it, im just overwhelmed with grief & anger for all my queer, trans, and disabled siblings and comrades; who perished on the climb Those who i knew, who i knew of, and who i nvr got to know; i feel grief and rage for each of them, whether i know their names or not. We can make the climb so much easier, and many of those who clomb before have done such alrdy for the climbs many of us clomb. We are makin the climb easier for all who will climb it in the future, little by little; by simply existin and talkin about our own climbs

[@ToyKeeper]

Celeste is ridiculously fun. It's the game which finally got me into speedrunning. Definitely worth the effort to learn how to beat the game in under an hour.

[@corruptsuu]

the end was so frustratingly hard that i had to cheese my way through it. my fingers thanked me for it lmao. great game tho!

[@foxbruner]

Having a game's villain called Yglohec (Ee-glo-eck) which turns out to be an acronym for Your-General-Lack-of-Hand-Eye-Coordination would make for a great reveal at the finale.

[@Volvagia1927]

Well, for a tough as nails platformer/action game. For most RPGs, it would feel irrelevant.

[@nerdtuga9180]

Perfect timing! I just beat this game a weak ago and am now deep in the post-game content

I finished the main part of this game - I didn't get very many strawberries and I didn't do any of the B-side challenges - just the main story. I'm not exaggerating when I say I died more than a thousand times in total across all the levels before reaching the summit. I get the metaphor, I do; the writing is great and the artists did a great job of having the world Madeline navigates be a visual representation of her life struggles. But even so, I think the difficulty tuning was a little too aggressive even for the metaphor, at least for me.

[@SylviaRustyFae]

It does have a lot of options to make the difficulty easier tho, doesnt it? I havent actually played it bcuz i am the worst at platformers, instd ive just watched playthrus and analysis, but ive had folks multiple times mention the grt accessibility features to make the game much less difficult; i just cant recall a one of them rn xD I still dont think id be able to actually enjoy playin it tho with how frustratingly hard platformers are for me with my dyspraxia, a fine motor control disability

[@p1nball729]

The game had an assist mode, and there's no shame in using it. In fact, it aligns with the games theme(sometimes you have to allow others to help you), and the game understands if you want to go down that path. The devs want you to beat their game.
