Celeste is a simple game about helping a girl climb a mountain.

It's a shame the mountain is literally dripping with constant peril, what with entirely being a metaphor for the girl's struggle with anxiety and depression.

Helping to bring mental health awareness into the gaming spotlight, Celeste follows young Madeline's struggle to slowly undertake what sometimes seems like an impossible task.

Mirroring just how difficult living with mental illness can be, Celeste’s pixel-perfect precise platforming is wickedly cruel at times. You will fall down that mountain again and again, and you will want to quit, but that is where you discover that it is a battle worth fighting for.

Collecting every strawberry, and then completing the post-game B and C-side levels, you will encounter some of the most difficult platforming levels that exist in gaming.

But, of course, it’s all worth it.
