    Perfection!!

    This game is perfectly crafted and is everything it was intended to be. With a compelling story of battle against will. You fight to reach the top of the mountain. With every perfect jump you land, lands you a step closer in accomplishing that feat! Latch onto walls, bounce off of spring boards and use the environment around to make it to the top! If you’re a true explorer, while searching every corner of the game you will stumble upon the original Celeste which this game is based on! Limited Run games blessed us with a remastered classic and I can’t say thank you enough. Pick up this game. Don’t think about it, just buy it and enjoy this fun thrilled adventure. You may even shed a tear for Madeline. (Tear of Joy of course!!)

    Best game of 2018

    More than worth the price. Phenomenal, responsive controls, clever level design, and a surprisingly impactful story. I've spent hours and hours with this, and the difficulty curve really good for any experienced game player. I think anyone can get through the story, but the extra levels will *really* test you. Great game.

    One of my favorite games

    From the controls to the graphics to the music, everything is wonderful. The story is captivating and it reminds me of my childhood.

    One of my favorite games of all time!

    One of the best games I’ve ever played! I understand why it was nominated for so many awards, including Game of the Year at the Game Awards in 2018. If you like fun but challenging platformer games with fun gaming mechanics and a great plot involving mental health this game is definitely for you!

    Expect to die a million times!

    I bought this game because I was looking for something that resembled the Neopets game Hannah and the Pirate Caves thar i played as a kid. Its not that similar lol but familiar enough i can pretend! I normally don't enjoy games where you die millions of times, but Celeste is different. I really appreciate that one you clear an area, you don't have to repeat it when you die. So many games make you restart an entire level, but in Celeste I can get 2/3 through a level and die 50 times on the last part and not have to redo the whole thing. This takes the anxiety out of the experience, so i can actually enjoy playing! Great game. Worth the buy.

  • Will this be up long enough to be able to get it as a christmas gift?

    I have not received my copy in the mail yet but I cannot wait for Christmas! Sometimes it just takes a while. I hate waiting for the text to come saying it's been shipped and then waiting longer for the text to say it's been delivered. My experience with Best Buy and Limited Run Games is they,meaning Best Buy, generally have plenty of stock. But who knows except Best Buy and God himself. Not sure why they, Best Buy, sent your question on to me, but I guess this is providence. If it were up to me, I'd save you a copy! Good luck! Hope you are lucky enough to procure yourself a copy. Are you buying a Christmas gift for you or someone else? George W PS. A bird in the hand beats two in the bush.
