All of that character is wrapped around one of the most blissfully fluid, responsive, and fun platformers I’ve played since Super Meat Boy. Little touches - like Madeline’s red hair turning blue when she’s spent her dash charge and then back again when it’s restored by touching the ground or touching a power-up, or that dash causing lanterns in the background to sway when she zips by them - make everything feel alive and dynamic.īut Celeste doesn’t succeed on charm alone – it also nails the fundamentals of its genre.
Smartly written dialogue is accompanied by silly, synthesized gibberish voices and animated character portraits that strikingly clash with the otherwise-pixelated art style, giving each character a distinct personality of their own. Its handful of characters are delightful and expressive, and the world they live in is teeming with small details. That’s the bigger picture, but every corner of Celeste is overflowing with charm.
