Celeste is the only game in my Steam library of over 400, plus every console and handheld game I've ever owned, that I have ever enjoyed so deeply that I started speedrunning it.

The controls are tight and satisfying, the challenge is tough but fair with a good difficulty curve, and the story, though secondary to my enjoyment overall, is compelling.

One of the only complaints that I have is that the (fantastic) Assist Mode should disable achievements. That's probably the biggest thing.
