I'll be honest, I heard of how good this game is, but I never had time to watch it other than a single livestream. But now that Merg's playing it, I'm not missing it!
why do i *insert paragraph saying how i see you everywhere and that your my sleep paralysis demon watching me shower and other weird creepy crap like that*
first time I’m watching this for like a year. I cannot stop watching this no matter how long it was since I last watched it. I just cannot forget about this game. Watching Merg playing this game is literally the most calm thing ever and I feel so cozy watching it every time. Thank you. (Also sorry if none of the things i said makes any sense)
OMG! Never been so hyped for a video! Please 100% this as it gets really fun and challenging in post game!!! Also, your hair turns blue to remind you that you have used your dash. All winged strawberries fly away if you dash. I would recommend getting all strawberries. Each chapter also has one blue heart which is a puzzle to find and collect. It is important that you collect these but I would recommend using a guide as they are hard to collect. Finally, there is a casette tape hidden in each world which unlocks the b-side. I would recommend getting them as the b-sides are a great challenge and I would love to see you try them. REMEMBER TO DASH DIAGONALLY!!!!
Not Much I wouldnt recommend that believe me I just have the summit b side g berry left and I had 1 horribble fail right at the end... I dont think merg has that 120+ hours to spend on that
Returning to this game is so overwhelming because of the impact the story had on me, relating to is as much as I did. I've already binged your playthrough before but yours remains my favorite of Celeste, can't wait to rewatch it❤
This game has completely slipped under my radar, so this is my first experience alongside Merg. It seems really interesting, and how the story develops at the end there is... strange. I hope there will be more depth to it and that it will get explained, but this game seems awesome! Keep up the good work, Merg!
Yes, he should. I like the lore and the gameplay. Played the game twice, haven't beat the Pantheon of Hallownest yet. And PoP took me 41 minutes on my first try lol. I guess I'm good at platforming...
I think i can beat pantheon of hallownest now after i grinded that final boss a lot. I did like 3 attempts yesterday. Died to markoth in all of them... :(
Cool, my favorite game so far, im excited to watch this let's play, i finished this game 100% ( except golden strawberry not include dashless strawberry )
Fun fact: The first stage is beatable without dashing, theres even a flying golden strawberry as reward on the end for doing it. Nice video merg cant wait for more
I heard about Celeste and it's story but I never expected to see one of my favourite RUclipsrs play this. Now, I'll actually get to see the game itself.
Ahhh, you finally got to this game! I am so happy to see you start it. I seriously hope you will 100% it, you are certainly able to do it with all your platformer skills. Have fun Merg, hopefully you will enjoy it as much as I did my first time. P.S. This is one of the three games I want to experience for the first time again. Maybe you'll get that feeling too.
Same! What are the other two games? My three are this, undertale and super mario odyssey. I know the third one seems weird but I was so hyped for it and it just felt sureel and unbelievable the first time. I would love to relive that moment!
@@zackwelch3038 Ah, I havent played Oddessy yet, I dont own a switch yet, haha. Other two games are Antichamber and Nintendo Land. First one is an amazing puzzle game that I wish to relive and 2nd one is a party game I spent too much time in.
I have doubts he will 100% it. i just took break from 7-B Summit, few of the last waypoints are insane i am still stuck on Waypoint 2, fuck that pink cloud
Yeaa.. hundred percenting this game is next to impossible. I have 50 hrs on this game and i have finished all b-sides, c-sides, and collected all normal strawberries.. But those golden strawberries are a nightmare.
This is the second time i watch Merg play through this now. I usually NEVER watch LetsPlays more than once, but i just love, love, love this game and Mergs commentary
dude i wanted to see what celeste is about and why so many people love it, i guess it's time to see. also hearing younger merg's voice feels weird after watching his last videos lol
CELLLEEEESSSSTTTTTEEE! Have Seen it by 3 people but it doesn't matter. Love it Merg! Keep it up. This Lets Play will be great. And a big surprise. For You. :P Grüße aus Österreich XD
I just got this game yesterday and I'm having a lot of fun with it. I can tell this is going to be a great series. I will (like many other people) recommend going for 100%, because you'll get way more out of the game by exploring and going for the extra challenges.
How is something from only 2 years ago so nostalgic for me. Edit: 3 years now god damn it every time I find this channel it's just nostalgia city, this was like some of the first youtube I watched back when I was smol I know this is cheezy but thanks for all the memories merg
Wow, I usually am unhappy if its not a undertale fangame or game, but this is extremely interested with this game!!! New videos for me to enjoy, and with commentary from the one and only MERG!!!
Hey merg! I actually didn’t play this one to the end cause stuff but at least I can watch you play it! I can see a comment I left like 3 years ago here and damn I was way too optimistic on purchase.
I got this game for myself today, because it's my birthday, and basically flew through Chapter 1. I thought to myself, "This is easy!" And then I tried the B-side. Why do I even say things.
I've heard of this game a bunch, but this is my first time seeing the gameplay, and I have to say it's awesome. Hyped to see more for sure! This does bring back many memories... The platforming, spikes, traps, collectibles, "refresheners", and the fact that the icy glacial-ish area is the first chapter ;) That also means I'm looking forward for some *fun times* in the future episodes lul
20XX A lone child climbs up a mountain, for what reason is unknown. They look down the hole into the kingdom of monsters... but they trip on the vine. And so the fallen child lands at the bottom of the hole, waking up on a bed of flowers, in the land of the monsters. This is, the- Oh wait, wrong game.
I always wanted to see a celeste playthrough of this game from you. I recommend you two tips: -Always Look for secrets! *-Use a controller!!!* _(It makes the game a lot easier to control, just like in Super Meat Boy)_ _(Also I recommend playing_ Hollow Knight _after_ Celeste _,you will love it for sure!)_
I've beaten the entire game (including all C-sides) with a keyboard, if you ask me the imprecise joysticks can hinder your dashing; even with the joystick you still can only dash in 8 directions so having more than that in terms of movement makes room for mistakes (or at least more room than you would have with arrow keys/wasd). But I might just be talking out of my ass so IDK.
(A long comment about the uneasy fate of a starting translator with bad Internet connection ahead) So many memories... This game really resonated with me, and I also kinda wanted to get my friends to watch Merg, so I decided to create russian subtitles for this video. I started May 2020 after passing my music school exams, and was actually doing pretty good. The plan was to finish the translation by the end of the summer, but I procrastinated A LOT and had to spend 1 month entirely without an Internet connection. Summer quickly ran by and I only had 4 minutes of the video translated. With the news of the community subtitles being removed, I decided that I had to finish that translation. So I just sat down and translated 15 freaking minutes in 5 hours (trust me, that's a lot of work done very fast, considering that I also had to fix the timestamps)! With a feeling of a job well done and one week left to translate the other 7 minutes, I decided to call it a day. I turned off my laptop without noticing that there was a "could not save the file due to the bad Internet connection" message. So, when I came back the next day, i was back at my original 4 minutes. 5 hours of hard work reduced to hothing. I just sat there in shock, not being able to comprehend what was happening in front of me. So, yeah, that's why there are no russian subtitles on this video, and a reason why you always have to check thrice before turning off the device you used to do some creative work, kids.
It's time to rewatch this series since it's been a while since I first saw it and I also got into speedrunning the game. It's my first time properly speedrunning a game and I want to use this as training for when Silksong comes around.
I started watching you about a year ago and last week i got celeste and the whole time i was thinking "merg should play this" so i was pretty happy when i found this video
wow.... this channel has grown! damn do i love the days when you were playing geometry dash as a primary game. P.S been subbed since 10k subs (or less) love yah merg!
OH MY GOD YOU'RE PLAYING CELESTE?? HOW DO YOU KNOW LITERALLY ALL OF MY FAVORITE GAMES? (also yeah theo has an actual instagram account, you should check it out)
I love that game, did everything but the last strawberries you unlock in the game and it's super fun. Plus, the gameplay, as hard as it gets, stays super enjoyable, and the story is really good! Surely in my top 5 games last year, looking forward to the next parts :3

So, what did you think?
I'm so glad you actually decided to try it out. It's a really fun game and it's well made, I can already tell you'll have a great time playing it :)
*YES OMG PLAY CELESTE ITS SUCH A GOOD GAME* The gameplay is great, the music track is a straight bop, and the story is fantastic!
Now that he is playing celeste... how long till hollow knight?
yeah, exactly!
THIS. NOW!
I want to like this comment a hundred times
Yes, he should. I like the lore and the gameplay. Played the game twice, haven't beat the Pantheon of Hallownest yet. And PoP took me 41 minutes on my first try lol. I guess I'm good at platforming...

What about Moon Berry

Agreed. ^^ And thank you! :D
Just you guys wait...IT GETS EVEN MORE BEAUTIFUL
Omg your actually playing it
Merg i love you
Every game with you gets awesomoe
watching merg not figure out how momentum works for the first 18 minutes of the video is so infuriating but really funny
dude i wanted to see what celeste is about and why so many people love it, i guess it's time to see. also hearing younger merg's voice feels weird after watching his last videos lol
OMG I WANTED YOU TO PLAY THIS SO MUCH! THIS GAME IS AMAZING!
You should try Hollow Knight! It's a very cool platformer, nice graphics, nice mechanics, enviorment and even music!
i was just thinking the same thing (cause i recently got the game, loving it)
Hollow Knight doesn't deserve to exist in this world. It is an *Ascended* game. Actually its more like *Radiant*

I always wanted to see a celeste playthrough of this game from you. I recommend you two tips:
-Always Look for secrets!
*-Use a controller!!!* _(It makes the game a lot easier to control, just like in Super Meat Boy)_
_(Also I recommend playing_ Hollow Knight _after_ Celeste _,you will love it for sure!)_
Don't use a controller because later on in the game there will be more precise jumps that a joy stick or a dpad just wont be enough.
Also do play hollow knight
Took me around 9+ hours to play the game through with a keyboard than with a controller. And my first playthrough was with a controller...
I've beaten the entire game (including all C-sides) with a keyboard, if you ask me the imprecise joysticks can hinder your dashing; even with the joystick you still can only dash in 8 directions so having more than that in terms of movement makes room for mistakes (or at least more room than you would have with arrow keys/wasd). But I might just be talking out of my ass so IDK.
I was looking forward to this, and finally it's here! ^^
Hey, I love to see that You decided to play in Celeste.
Hope You'll have a good time with it.
