'Celeste', An Emotional Journey Of Self-Discovery

Hey everyone! It's your lad, Galaxy Gaymer!

Indie games are such an amazing part of any console catalogue these days. The more indie games we see, the more impressive and incredible they usually get. I have been impressed, and quite honestly had some aspects of my life impacted by many of these games.

Celeste is a 2d platform adventure game where the main protagonist, Madeline, climbs a mountain to essentially make new discoveries about others, but more importantly herself. Throughout the game you come across some very important people, face many challenges, and just genuinely have fun. This is all while listening to one of my favourite soundtracks of any game.

The style of this game may be simplistic, but you can't help but get hooked to this beautiful story. It all feels so worth it when all your hard work comes to a climax at the end of each level. There's even four 'sides' to every level, like a cassette tape. I truly believe this game could help people with mental illness in so many ways and can put you into almost another universe on a bad day, even if only for a moment.

I highly recommend Celeste for anyone that is up for a real challenge. The sheer beauty of this game is all worth the high difficulty and I think the importance of this game is so high. It is a great game from the perspective of  retro game lovers and modern game lovers alike. I truly think it will become one of the most beloved platformers of our entire generation.

What is a game that has tugged at your heartstrings? Comment down below and maybe that game will be featured in the future!

Have a nice day!

Love, Galaxy Gaymer
