Celeste Really is That Good 

the fact that it took you until chapter 4 to realize that they've been introducing more than 2 mechanics each chapter says more about the game than it does about you

22:04 “but it doesn’t do that.” Golden berries: allow us to introduce ourselves

20:45 OMG! For a completionist, this room is THE worst😠! But yeah Celeste(which btw is a real mountain in Vancouver, Canada😉) is definitely worth playing. Even if you’re not a completionist the message means a lot. Everyone goes through anxiety and gets over it in their own way… well that was my interpretation🤔. And now thanks to this video I need to play Celeste again! So thanks a lot for that. 😁/😠

great video, just wish you didn't neglect theo, cause hes like the best character ever and I love him he is the best boi

My control scheme is z - jump x - dash c - grab

As someone who has played (a lot of) Celeste and seen multiple other people playing it, I'm honestly surprised at the sheer lack of secrets and collectibles you found. I'm not going to spoil them for you because they're better if you figure most of them out yourself, but I'm glad to hear that you're willing to do some of the post game content.

"Streamer blindness" is a real phenomenon. Games will often put visual cues during moments of downtime: the kind of moments that streamers often look away from their game to read chat. And so, streamers regularly miss the cues the game was giving to guide the player. Also, splitting attention between game and audience can just make it slower to figure things out too.

It is quite interesting seeing someone with basically no experience not only playing a game as hard as celeste, but also literally ignoring 99% of collectibles. Needless to say, this was a very very different playthrough than mine. But I do find it fascinating. It really goes to show how this game was truly made for everybody.

Calling theo the "imposter" is really funny with the new among us celeste crossover

If you enjoyed the base game I’d highly recommend checking out things like the bonus chapters and B-sides. But if you chose to stop at chapter 7 it’s a perfect ending that still feels complete even if you don’t play more of the games content.

the “thwomp things” are called kevins

8:00 Wait, he didn't understand how these worked? 😭 😭 😭 That's not how they work. You can stay on them as long as you want. You just can't retrace your steps.

Hey Thoarbin, the thing you said about puzzles? I'm pretty sure that's how everyone works, there are some you're great at and some you need more experience with that kinda thinking or that puzzle's 'language' and, much like how once you've learnt a language its obvious what's being said, when people learn a puzzle's language they don't see how you couldn't easily or instantly solve it. So uh dont take people calling your slow or bad at puzzles to heart, its jsut a language you're not fluent in yet that they are. Sad to hear the keyboard didnt work out for you cause im a keyboard andy. If you start having very big issues with doing levels consider using some of the accessibility functions celeste comes packed with (there's stuff like more dashes or jumps, or slowing down the game or just buffing stamina or pausing each dash so you can get the direction right). Honestly 8/10 is very good mostly ignoring the dialogue and not going out of the way to fully explore. The core of Celeste is tight and as someone who adores all of celeste's extra spice, its got stuff for pretty much anyone all with in a hard but very accessible game.

20:57 You even adopted the granny's laugh

Since your problem solving is different than most people, it would be fun to see you tackle a puzzle game! Portal 2 might be a good place to start if you're new to the genre.

Playing this game without mentioning the banging soundtracks is a bit of a crime, but really nice video ❤

Watch trancparencys vid on this game. Even devs argue it's one of the best sum ups on why the game is so great. I too started my 2024 by playing this for the first time. I thought it was just girl climbs mountain the game so i passed it up. Gave it a chance and just wow... it's pretty great in every way but the story is the most special. It's about the human struggle and finding the strength to move forward. It's beautiful. My only slight complaint is my d pad thumb was on fire towards the end. 1000ish deaths will do that to ya lololol.

honestly i’d recommend finding and doing the b sides though you’ll have to have a lot of determination, it’s really a different game that you can choose to play that does have another set ending at the actual final chapter, beating some of those hard levels are some of my fondest memories, i remember that 7b in particular was an achievement for me as it really tests you. up to you of course but for me celeste is never complete at the top of the mountain

"supah mario galaxyyyy ARRRRRRRRRGGGHH" i love this game. happy you enjoy it~

Chapter 7 is a good ending, because it was the ending when it was released. Then chapter 8 was released, and finally chapter 9 Farewell. And Farewell is by far the best and most enjoyable part of the game. Not only does the platforming get extremely hard (many many more times difficult than all of the A sides combined), but the story only gets better, but I suppose from your playthrough, you’re the type of person to appreciate the former over the latter. Farewell forces you to get a lot of the collectibles that you missed (including B and/or C sides, which are much harder than their counterparts) so a lot more content (probably 50%) is still left in the game. While I won’t spoil anything, I’ll clarify some terms and mechanics in the game. The sprite is called Madeline, but you can change her name so some players can feel more immersed in the story. The Evil You, is unofficially called Badeline as a result. In chapter 3, the red globs (dust bunnies) on the walls and floors only grow after you move away, and is not based on a timer. So you can stand on them as long as you aren’t moving. In chapter 5, the chasing eyeballs are called Seekers, and the reason that only Theo could break the one at the end is because the temple realized his fears of being an influencer with all eyes on him (the eyes in the background are only facing him). In chapter 6 the blocks (called Kevin after the voice actor lol) actually break the blocks like at 18:20 instead of you stepping on it. The bumpers are called bumpers. In the end, though the terms are official, they’re never mentioned in the game, so call them whatever you want, but just so you know. Do try and finish the rest of the game though, 100% of the achievements is very worth it in my opinion if you have the time to do so. If not, at the very least finish Farewell if only to see what more the game can offer (trust me, it’s a lot more than what’s showcased in the beginning). Golden berries are always a good time killer though lol.

My keyboard bindings: wasd for movement/directional inputs. lshift for grab Jump is ' Dash is / No cap.

you can stay on the worms as much as you want

BTW the black flying things in chapter 3 are called bunnies (yes they are called bunnies) also I suggest you to do chapter 8 and if possible chapter9

"It's all a metaphor" it's quite literal as well they're very explicit about it

Celeste is much better on keyboard. I used WASD and C to dash and left shift to grab

Can't believe you played the game without noticing how bop the music is. Did you have it turned off? Because to me the music is one of the best parts of the game.

Play more celeste this video is really entertaining! this made me drop you a sub:)

you should play chapter 8 and 9... and all the b sides... and the c sides...

20:50 There's a room in the d sides (a mod) that does this but it's more hidden and at the end of a much harder room.

Celeste and only celeste crashes on my pc when i try to open it other indie games dont

21:35 hehe you’re not Even half way that’s essentially the tutorial (still hard but yeah)

if you are looking for more platformers, Sonic Mania, Neon White, and Marble it Up Ultra are my personal favorites. great video btw, it's always fun to see someone's blind reaction to a game I love

you forgot the hidden video game inside the game

I was gonna leave a comment, but youtube automatically went to the next vid in my watch later playlist and my draft disappeared :'

i absolutely loved this video watching someone play my favorite game! that was really fun!

Haven't watched the full video, but I hope you play more Celeste! It gets really challenging, but it's genuinely AMAZING (I have ADHD but had the patience to go through all of the content). Also, if you want more platforming you should play Strawberry Jam Collab! It's basically what Calamity is to Terraria.

came from the slime rancher video hi

the game isn't talking to you in the prologue. The game is about Madeline's anxiety (addressed later in the vid mb)

now beat the map pumber all berries

1:04 *laughts in golden berries*

13:02 um what? I don’t understand how you wouldn’t be a fan of this type of storytelling, considering most if not all great pieces of art have an underlying theme or moral to the story; Celeste mountain being a metaphor IS what makes this story great. Art should teach us things about life and help us navigate this strange world. This is probably the most baffling thing I’ve heard in any video on RU-vid. But I’m glad you liked the game.

it's called a secret for a reason? 4:30

Lets go I love celeste

now do farewell golden

grab then jump

'hardly'…

I have the Platnium Throphi on this game, i realy recommend you doing all the B-sides and c-sieds (You unlock it after doing all b-sieds). After you are done with them, go do chapter 9 with the moon beerie. It was my biggest hurdel in all Jump and runes i have ever done but it is sooooooo good. Looking forward to a video for that :)

celeste is awsome but chapter 3 and 4 A both seriously suck i spedran the game and legit had to drop it because so many modded levels are theo/wind/cycle based and theyre geniuenly miserable to learn lol chapter 8 is horrible too - especially the B and C side...

bet

21:59 "If I had to restart levels from the beginning, I would have quit a long time ago" Oh just wait until you see the golden berries...

2:56 I love Celeste, but the timing for momentum is unintuitive if you're playing on a lagless monitor. You have to react later than you'd expect IMO.

The more videos I watch of you playing other games, the more I understand why Terraria is (I'm assuming) your favourite game. It's my favourite game, but all these other indie games that I play I enjoy so much that it's hard for me to actually rank them. However, I do think Silksong, when it will release, will be my new favourite, especially since Hollow Knight is definitely a top 3 game for me.

2 hands, default keybinds(they felt wrong at first but they work), took me 45 minutes to learn but it's a really solid way to play the game, especially when you don't have a controller

PINK HAIR POWERS ACTIVATE DUH DUH DUH DUH DUH DUH *dies*

b sied.

Please palt crosscode, it's the best game I've ever played

Does anyone know what the original 1 year 1 world terraria order of things you can do was because I can’t find it.

a hint with celeste. to get moment from stuff jump a bit after it stops. so for a cloud, wait a a little after it peaks then jump. Same with moving blocks

now do the b-sides >:)

calling Badeline evil is the same as calling the mc evil.

as much as the trend is to upload "compilation" and "summary" videos, a part of the community still enjoys live commentary during blind playthroughs. Though this is much more unappealing for content creators with less subs and fans, i would have really enjoyed a blind playthrough with commentary, it doesn't have to be streamed, like a lets play from the old days of RU-vid

honk

gameplay, set pieces and tory are about anxiety, and this is eased in nicely and subtitle. puzzle solving is common in platformersnowadays, Likely because ones first game-engine tutoial usually involves setting up a platformer, because that is a good baseline for ANY genre, despite 3d platforming only working in VR due to lack of depth perception otherwise, and fast movement of platformers in VR suffer from motion sickness, so, platformers actually just work in 2d.

am trans

You were bad

Not sure if this helps anyone but for basic controls I use: A - Jump S - Grab D - Dash Arrow keys to move. It takes some getting used to but you eventually get used to it. Other bindings I have are: F - Crouch Dash Shift - 2nd Jump Space - Grab+Jump Ctrl - Down+Dash Hope anyone who comes across this may find it useful.
