Celeste : A lot More Than Just A Puzzle Mountain Climber

Firstly, sorry it's been some time since the last article about games... cause I have been playing games..(I love games can't control it and you know it cause you do it too)... so moving one Celeste is a game I recently finished (not entirely 100%) which is developed and published by Matt Make games (The Guys who made TowerFall).. the game released in January this year ( yeah I played it way late okay?)... and it received a lot's of praise for its design and story (I mean game has 10/10 on steam and 9/10 on Metacritic and ratings didn't go below 8/10 on anything... which is Surprising in 2018).
So I decided to give it a go... I am blown away by it, to be honest... and if you haven't played it please play it you won't regret it... it has something for all kind of gamers challenges, deep storytelling, unique gameplay you name it...so if you want to know more about it keep on reading...

The Story {minor spoilers ahead}

The Story of Celeste starts when our protagonist Madeline (You can change the name if you want) arrives at the Celeste mountain with the decision to climb the mountain and meets our first NPC of the game who lives on the mountain granny (she a bit mysterious kind of person) she warns Madeline and questions her decision to climb the mountain tells her that she may see things on the mountain she is not to see.

But Madeline ignores her and keep on going... Madeline keep climbing the mountain and reaches a camp where she meets another fellow climber Theo who is there for selfies? and tourism I guess (you remember that friend who posts a lot of stuff and pics he's that guy) and you take a selfie and talk a little about him and yourself revealing some of your past.

Then Madeline has a dream in which she proceeds into the mountain and finds a mirror from which a spirit like something escapes and we also get another glimpse of what happened in the past to her.

Later... Madeline found out that spirit who claims to be a part of her which escapes and Madeline realizes that Celeste is no ordinary mountain it has strange powers.

Then as the story continues you meet another and I think last NPC Mr.Oshiro who runs Celeste resort on the mount Celeste which hardly has any visitors and he got excited to see you and tries to keep you in the resort... but that's not how it ends.

Then we keep on climbing the mount Celeste and meet the NPC's again on the way reveal some more background about them... when Madeline reaches near the summit things get bad and she hit rock bottom (Sorry can't reveal major stuff don't want to ruin your suspense) then she rises up again and with little help climbs the mountain again and reaches the mountain and then she bakes a pie for everyone with the strawberries she collected along the way.

A year later she gets a call from granny that she found a cave and Madeline arrives again at the mountain to explore the secrets of the cave (can't tell you the secrets cause I don't know them either).

That's the complete story of Celeste minus the major spoilers... the great thing about Celeste is its storyline handles topics which are very hard to tackle and even hard to take on with a game like this...kind of platformer game yet developers beautifully weaved them into the game.. and those topics are Depression, Self-esteem, Inner demons and social media etc... it's amazing how they tackled the topic in between the storyline..you will be amazed too.

10 Indie Games you must play

Gameplay {hard but not unbeatable}

So the gameplay is a big part of Celeste and you will realize as soon as you start playing it... it's tough as nails but not too much you have to navigate Madeline through a series of traps and puzzles to complete the chapter seems easy enough right?... well let's say it is an easier said than done type situation... they get harder as you progress through the level.. you can die when you touch any of the spikes and game will reset to the start of that section which basically starts at the bottom of that room only thankfully (because you are going to die a lot).

Madeline can perform a midair dash like hollow night and grab and climb on to a wall for a certain period of time before stamina runs out... will also gain a second dash later in the game but till then you have only one to use on everything... the dash can be only used once and must be reset by standing on ground or hitting objects like dash crystals etc.

There's a lot more than just traps and puzzles as all chapters also feature a certain amount of strawberries to collect which require you to really push it as a strawberries count collected only if you hit the solid ground after collecting them they change the ending based on the number of strawberries you collected throughout the whole game (I m sure they also have some achievements for those things too).

There's also a number of other things hidden throughout the levels like blue hearts which unlock post-game content and a tape with unlocks Side B of the chapters which are kind of tougher version of the the chapters (cause originals weren't challenging enough) and if you really push the limit's when you complete all side B levels Side C of chapters got unlocked which is tougher but shorter version of chapters.

And if you are thinking don't you get bored by all this answer is nope cause they push things after each chapter by adding new and additional mechanics...so no getting bored in this game that's for sure.

That's all about the gameplay of Celeste.

7 Video Games Series You Must Play In Your Life..Once

Games have been around for two or three decades now and in that time there are some franchises which are so awesome they will always have a place in our hearts because of their stories combat or the experience they provided which was amazing that's why they all become so special to all of us
So here are 7 of those Gems who live in our hearts.

Everything We Know About Anthem

1.Batman Arkham Series

So, when we talk about games series of all time which delivered excellence Batman Arkham series is the best example for all of us the franchise was released in 2009 which it's first game, Batman: Arkham Asylum since then the game has taken all the gamers across many platforms by storm as it's combat system and awesome feeling of being Batman and Detective gameplay is amazing and got better with each game and they really knocked it out of the park when they released Batman: Arkham Knight which made everyone say wow that's awesome and these guys also got the sound of the Batman right (it's the best Batman voice ever) and finally given the Batman the awesomeness he 

2.Mass Effect Series

Before BioWare sold it's soul to EA there's something which is known as video game sci-fi masterpiece which is the Mass Effect Trilogy which has Mass Effect 1, 2, and 3 and is recognized as one of most awesome games ever made which provided the gamers the experience of their childhood star trek dream i.e being a commander in the outer space which has it's own ship and embarks on a mission to save the galaxy.

so the Mass Effect Trilogy is the story of the Commander Shepard the commander of the ship Normandy ( yeah it sounds like food item ) in which you partner up with aliens of different races and places to play third-person shooter which bad alien guys who you will shoot without thinking twice that's and stop the mighty Reapers (A superior alien race who want to conquer it all) from eating the whole galaxy by forming an alliance of some other superior alien races and discovering the artifacts of Prometheans which is another superior ancient alien race wiped by the reapers.

The story is one of the highlights of the Mass Effect Trilogy so I recommend for a great experience it's a must play and now let's talk about Mass Effect Andromeda (Let's not go there it's not as epic as Trilogy) the latest installment in the Mass Effect series come with a lot's of changes and even more bugs so as it's different from the Masterpiece Trilogy let's leave it here.

Awesome Adventures of captain spirit: Review

3.Devil May Cry Series

This series was first started off as a resident evil sequel but it was so awesome and loved by fan they had to make it into a whole new Franchise DMC always been a very successful franchise and also a very popular among all the gamers.

The DMC is the story of Dante a half human half demon who have real sibling issues as for two games he fought his own brother without considering that there are demons who want to kill them both ( And He's Really Chilled About it  ).

The first game was released in 2001 and from then its become star in the beating demons with swords and guns genre which is really awesome and now as Devil may cry 5 is coming you can beat demons in more realistic graphics the game have some rules use guns, use guns and finish the game in 20 missions that's enough to nail every game they made let's hope DMC5 will be as awesome as previous games as they pick up the story of Nero from DMC 4.

FarCry 5 another awesome open world experience

4.Resident Evil Series

Now we pass from what born of resident evil i.e DMC now let's talk about resident evil series in itself it's one of the most awesome shoot zombies in the face series ( Well most of it haven't you heard of Resi 4 ?? ).

The resident evil itself started out as a sequel to Silent Hill series which was named sweet home it first made its debut in 1996 and from it has become Capcom's best-selling game franchise and they made lot's of money out of it and now that it's Resident Evil 7 Biohazard is out and it's one of the best horror games you should play it think it's a series you should try out for once in your life it won't disappoint you.

7 Games You Will Play For 100 hours at least

5.Grand Theft Auto Series

The series which by far one of most famous and awesome of all time in which you can roam around an open world and murder people until the police come and kill you and you can walk out the hospital like that never happened yes I am talking about grand theft auto series it's everyone's favorite murder people simulator.

The Grand Theft Auto series is old as it was first released in 1997 at that till GTA 2 the game was a top-down 2D murder action game then they made it into 3D and created Grand theft auto 3 which most people don't remember then come out every child's childhood legend GTA Vice City which easily becomes very popular among kids and the market after some time they launched GTA San-Andreas which added ton of new features like flying planes and stuff.

Then came GTA IV which again no one remembered until GTA V came along a masterpiece so awesome it broken all the previous records and made the unbeatable new ones so this is a game series you must play cause fun of murdering people is increasing as GTA VI not available yet and is set for 2022 you can definitely try out one of these games you won't regret it.

5 Reasons Why you should Play Alien Isolation

6.Assassin's Creed Series

No, I haven't forgotten one of the most stealthy and kill that historical guy simulator yeah I am talking about Assassin's Creed Series The game was first released in 2007 and it was really a different approach than other stealth or open world games which caught everyone's eye they fell in love with the game then they launched Assassin's Creed II which was set in Italy and starred Leonardo Da Vinci it's a beautiful story made Ezio Auditore Da Firenze one most loved game character.

the story of Assassin's Creed os Simple but not easy so there was a master race before humans which got wiped by a solar storm and then humans came.

They were so intelligent to calculate everything that will happen in the future and left clues in forms of temples and artifacts.

Then after humans are born there were assassin's and there's templars assassin's are the people who support the idea of free will fight the Templars so they don't get their hands on artifacts and messages were left for them by ancient civilizations and Templars are guys who believe if they can control everyone there will be peace in the world.

In the modern day, they created a machine ( Animus ) which allows people to live their ancestors DNA and that's how we play the game going back to history both Assassin's and Templars use the machine so they can discover artifacts and secrets of previous civilization.

Series have a great story open worlds which make it a definite play for anyone ( I mean you can walk in Ancient Egypt on a Camel in Assassin's Creed Origins What more historical you want ?? ) and all the people you assassinate in the game are dead at  the same place and in the same time in history cool isn't it ??... go and try out one of the game at least in your life ( If You Haven't Already ).

Assassin's Creed Origins Best Game Yet ??

7.The Witcher Series

This is one of most appreciated and awarded game series in the video game history as The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt is awarded as the game of the year from many platforms and also named as one of the greatest game of all time ( Why wouldn't they... it is one of the greatest game of all time ).

The first installment of the game series was released in 2007 it didn't look so great then but it was good and a little more complex ( we are talking 2007 here and CD Project Red was also new ).

The game becomes radically better when it's sequel The Witcher 2: Assassin's of Kings was Released and it's storytelling and gameplay amused everyone and got praised.

Then CD Project Red Completed their most awesome and ambitious project yet the open world of the Witcher world and they completed it as we can see and thanks to them we got a masterpiece like Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

The Story Of Witcher Series Follows the main protagonist Geralt of Rivia who is a witcher by profession ( he kills monsters for money ) at the start of the first game his memory is wiped and he remembers nothing from his past.

 the world of witcher series is set in a place known as the continent a which is on war the world is as realistic as it is fictional there's plenty of racists and executions and hatred can be seen only because of the different races and the effects of war can be seen easily on the citizens.

as a witcher, you also get lot's of it so the storytelling of the Witcher series is amazing as you choose the dialogues and choose how the story will move forward.

At the end of the Witcher 2, Geralt of Rivia get's memory back and he embarks on his journey to find his long-lost lover Yenifer of Vengerberg who then he takes on the greatest contract of his life i.e to find Ciri his adopted daughter and heir to the throne of the Nilfguard.

The Witcher series awesome narration of storytelling and gameplay makes it one of the must play series of all time.
