In Celeste, you play as Madeline, a budding mountain climber who aims for the peak. Throughout the story, the game touches on various themes and topics that aren't typically seen in platformers, such as self-doubt and mental health, yet they meld together with the gameplay in such a way that I believe provides an elevated experience to the player.
That is to say, there is a heavy emphasis on personal growth present throughout, which is something you'll need if you want to get through many of the tougher challenges that the devs throw your way.
