I don't think I can say anything positive about the game that others haven't. Music and visuals are good, story is pretty nice, protagonist and her pals are cool and good, spicy game overall

However, while I did have a good time with the majority of the game, the final area is probably one of my least favorite areas in any game ever.

Throughout the final chapter, you'll run into quite a bit of gimmicky mechanics, making the game feel incredibly luck-based. It's also very hard to figure out how to pass certain areas, there was a hidden breakable block in one of the areas I didn't notice before I watched a youtube tutorial.

Then I got to the unlock wall.

To progress to Chapter 8, and later on Chapter 9, you need to collect Crystal Hearts. Crystal Hearts are one of those "search the level until the end of time" unlockables that should only be important for 100%ing the game. To access Chapter 8, you need to find four of them. No sweat, just google a tutorial on how to find the first four and play the level.

Chapter 9 is different. You can play through about half of the level until the game asks you to collect 15 crystal hearts. For reference, Celeste has 8 other levels, meaning you need to get the crystal hearts in all of them, plus a few in the B-Sides (hard mode) levels.

In short, you're going to have to grind a LOT to reach the true ending, whatever you want to call it.
