Celeste is a platformer with a sky-high reputation, and after beating the initial 7 Chapters + some B-sides I can definitely see why in terms of the core gameplay being extremely satisfying to play but I certainly don’t see Celeste as a perfect package.

The bad:

The meh:

Celeste is certainly good, and deserves a lot of its plaudits its obtained over the years - but I see it as standing amongst its equals amongst the pantheon of good platformers, rather than the “one-of-a-kind” status it appears to have.
