Celeste
Alex and Luke Talk Celeste.
Celeste is a platform game developed and published by indie developer Matt Makes Games. The player controls Madeline, a protagonist with anxiety and depression who aims to climb Celeste Mountain. During their climb, Madeline encounters several characters, including a personification of her self-doubt known as Badeline, who attempts to stop her from climbing the mountain.
Celeste released on January 25, 2018, for Linux, macOS, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Windows, before being released on Xbox One the following day, and on Google Stadia in July 2020. Upon release, it received universal acclaim from critics, with multiple outlets describing it as one of the best video games of all time. As of publication, Nintendo Switch version of the game has a Metascore of 92 and a User Score of 8.6 on metacritic.com.
Alex played Celeste on his Nintendo Switch, primarily in handheld mode. He finished the game docked using a pro controller. Luke also played on the Nintendo Switch, but primarily docked. Both hosts rolled the credits on this one, but neither has tackled the epilogue.
