Celeste Mountain

The way I see it, the Mountain can't bring out anything that isn't already in you

Hello! It’s been a while, how are all of you?

I’m sorry for being away for so long. Unfortunately, my computer broke back in late 2019 and I had no money to buy a new one. One of my brothers was able to lend me a spare, but that was only just recently

On top of that, I wanted to avoid posting after Farewell’s release, both because I didn’t want to accidentally spoil it for others and the fact that I had not played it myself. In fact I... actually still haven’t played Farewell... in 2021...

I absolutely plan to come back to posting once I finish Farewell for myself, however that could take a while because I haven’t played Celeste in over two years so my attempt is going to be a disaster lmao

I’ll see y’all again soon!

Celeste is one of the most satisfying platformers released in recent memory. And a big part of that is due to the tight and responsive controls of the game’s main character: Madeline. In this video, let’s look at how designers Matt Thorson and Noel Better made the hero of Celeste feel so good to play

Another fantastic video by Mark Brown on Celeste~

One of the things about Celeste I love most is that it takes mechanics I don’t typically like - windy levels, dimly lit levels, chase sequences, and carrying an ally around - and makes them enjoyable. I really think it’s due to the fact that despite the game being tough as nails, it very rarely feels unfair. It’s not the game’s fault, but your own. And you learn from your mistakes. You also feel a real sense of progress as time goes on.

The game also does a really good job of introducing new mechanics to you. Before the squid monster chases you in chapter 5, there’s a short dream sequence where you control the monster. It’s just long enough for you to realize the monster can’t go through translucent blocks and can break the red ones. So when you wake up and it chases Madeleine, you already know “oh i can trick the monster into chasing me into this wall, which is made of red blocks, so it will break and then I can find a secret entrance”.

None of this is taking into account the emotional impact, which I’m not going to give a full review on until I see the ending, but wow it’s powerful even with limited context. And you have to wonder, who she was on the phone with in chapter 2, what kind of baggage she has. I don’t know if the game will address specific details, or if she’s more of a “blank slate” character the player impresses upon, but either way it’s definitely punched me in the gut already. Her panic attacks are really effective representations of symptoms, the game does a damn good job of exploring mental health themes.
