Ok, so now that I have your attention - this game is beautiful.
I love the story & how it is told and the art style compliments it nicely.
It feels very rewarding to complete a level, although they could be a bit easier at some points (or at least have more checkpoints). There were a few times where I was stuck for ~30 minutes on one checkpoint and I had to take a break and try again the next day.
I did not use the assist mode but I appreciate it being an option - however I had the desire to complete the game without using it.
It took me ~12 hours to do so, while collecting 1/3 of all strawberries.
I have played with a Controller, btw.
Speaking of strawberries - I really appreciate the game explicitly telling you that collecting them is only useful for bragging to your friends. It made it easier for me to justify skipping a lot of them and to just enjoy the game.
Overall, 10/10 game, I loved nearly every second of it.
I can see why so many people play this game (for totally cis reasons of course).
I'll 100% think back to some lessons I've learned from this game in the future. We should all try to be more like Madeline.
So, overall: This game is a steal for 5€ on sale, check it out,

I pirated Celeste at first but it was so good that I ended up buying it to support the creators and to have it in my steam favourites.

No one's ever going to see this review and I'm just writing this for the steam badge, but like everyone else says, its one of the 11/10 games out there and everyone should at least play it once.
