Celeste Parents Guide: Age Rating, Safety & Tips
Recommended age: 8+
Recommended play time: 45 minutes - 1.5 hours
Oh, Celeste! My middle son (13) thought I wouldn't understand this at all, but truth be told? I managed. Turns out it's a game that requires a lot of patience, and I, Papa Chaim, learned that it's actually not too bad for their minds. Take a look, maybe you'll be surprised too.
What is this game
In short, it's a platformer game, you know, like Mario but harder. You (actually the character in the game) need to jump, climb, dash, and avoid obstacles to reach the end of the level. The story is about a girl trying to climb a mountain, but it also has a deeper message about dealing with fears and anxieties, that kind of stuff. I swear, it took me a week to even understand what 'platformer' meant.
