In the game Celeste, whether it is bright or dark, it reminds us that the protagonist Madeline has some mental and psychological problems, and ways of thinking that are different from ordinary people. Alcoholism, quarrels with online people, paranoia, and sometimes swearing hurt people, at most it is emotional out of control, not yet depressed!

Celeste game review: Madeline mental and psychological problems discussion

Remember the cable car distress incident. When Madeline got depressed on the cable car, Theo taught her to imagine a feather to control her emotions. It seems simple but has a magical effect. I don’t know if you can realize it here. The feeling, it is actually a strong reaction deep inside Madeline, and has nothing to do with the outside world. In fact, this is just a deep imagination in Madeline's heart. In my opinion, this is a very obvious hint of depression.

Observed carefully enough to find that the levels against the purple avatar are in Madeline's heart, which are the old site of Chapter 2 corresponding to the dream, the Temple of Mirror in Chapter 5 corresponds to the inner world, and the meditation in Chapter 6. There is no sign of the appearance of the avatar, and its confrontation is stronger than once. However, players can still notice the fragility and helplessness of this character. In fact, people with depression are not as powerful as you have observed. Although they are hostile to the world, they are not friendly enough, and the cause is also torture. The game Celeste tells players that people with depression are not the same as tristimania. They are just victims. They have nothing to do with character and personality and should be treated separately.

In the game Celeste, you become a little girl climbing alone in the snowy mountains. With the stimulating and strange climbing process, you gradually recall that the reason you came here specifically is not simple-because there are always two voices in your heart, one is for you to persevere; the other one comes out to scare you and let you get out of the way quickly.

TGA's best game of the year is not only about how high sales and how cool it is to play, but also whether it shows the most eternal theme of human art - human itself. Celeste highly recommended.
