Difficulty Level: 7/10 I know 7 seems fairly low considering how much time I've already spent re-emphasizing the demand for precision, and how often you're going to die, and I'm sure you've already seen many other reviews that describe it to be tough as nails, and it is, but (thankfully) the game doesn't punish you for dying over and over and over and over. But I don't want to scare off potential players who are not so keen on the sound of timing and precision based gameplay, since that doesn't sound particularly fun by description alone, but this is a joy to play and an innumerable amount of sequences had me smiling and feeling accomplished by their end. Every obstacle is laid out in front of you, clear for you to see, which makes the challenge more inviting than frustrating. It doesn't require you to memorize every obstacle coming next, because there's never anything popping up that you didn't expect. And none of your deaths feel out of your control. The challenge can be occasionally frustrating, and you may find yourself dying several hundred times in any given chapter (I'm not exaggerating, you will die a lot), but it's the good kind of frustration that invites you to persist, not the kind that will cause you to rage quit. gemstones that replenish your dash midair, bubbles that shoot you far off into certain directions, and the list goes on and on, each new mechanic requires you to use them with near perfect precision and timing. Whether they be platforms that disintegrate underneath you, platforms that move in sync with your dashing, walls you can dash through that have a unique effect.

But the sheer amount of mileage these developers get out of such a simple base is staggering Gameplay: 10/10 While the controls are deceptively simple, every single chapter introduces a few new mechanics that you will have to master in order to progress. I'll break down my review into individual segments: Controls: 10/10 Very tight, extremely simple controls. But the sheer amount of mileage these developers get I don't like being a reactionist, or overpraising something too soon, but Celeste is one of the best 2D platformers I've ever played.
