Celeste - Overcoming the Mountain

Подробнее о видео

You may have heard a few things about hot new indie game, Celeste. For one: Celeste is a bit tricky. Like, classic Nintendo levels of challenge. Pixel perfect jumps, mad puzzles and the like. Due to this and its retro aesthetic, there has been comparisons to top-tier indie platformers like Super Meat Boy as well as golden era classics like Megaman 2 and Mario 3. It is also a truly amazing game. IGN gave it a perfect 10, it has a Universal Acclaim rating on Metacritic and currently sits as the 3rd best rated game on Switch. No wonder Nintendo snapped it up for their console.

But I think what elevates it beyond its indie platform brethren is its heartfelt story:
The tale of Young Madeline's self-imposed struggle to climb the eponymous mountain. The mountain, as is often the case in fictional works, is a metaphor. A metaphor for her anxiety and depression. Your task in Celeste is to overcome all three.
