A small price for a demanding climb

Celeste follows Madeline as she attempts to reach the summit of a mountain. The developer’s official site presents that journey as the heart of a carefully constructed platformer from the creators of TowerFall. That makes this a useful deal for players who want a focused adventure rather than another sprawling open world to keep up with.

The attraction is not the discount alone. Epic displays a 4.9/5 player rating and an OpenCritic top-critic average of 92, with 99% of critics recommending it. Those are different measures—store-player feedback and an aggregated critic score—not scores from WUPGames testing.

Jumping, climbing and air-dashing are the core tools. The challenge comes from combining them precisely, and the quick restarts make another attempt part of the rhythm rather than a lengthy interruption. Optional B-side chapters provide a harder path after the main challenges. Players who dislike repeated attempts should weigh that style against the low price: strong ratings do not make a precision platformer the right fit for everyone.

  • Compatibility: Epic lists Windows and macOS requirements; check the current game and launcher requirements for your machine before paying.

Check your library before buying again

The US Steam listing showed $19.99 during our check, so Epic was cheaper among those two PC storefronts. That is a limited comparison, not a claim of a worldwide best price or an all-time low. A lower sticker price also does not move an existing purchase between libraries; someone who already owns the game gains little simply by buying it again elsewhere.

For a new player interested in a challenging, story-led platformer, the combination of a substantial discount and strong reception makes this worth considering. For someone seeking a relaxed game without frequent retries, watching the official footage first is a better decision than treating 75% off as a reason to buy automatically.
