It's a known fact that the annually held Steam Summer Sale brings a plethora of top indie titles on massive discounts, placing some of the best evergreen games of all time, and this is the fact that makes it stand out among countless other events held each year in the video gaming sphere.
Similarly, one game during every year's Steam Summer Sale stands out for coming in exchange for peanuts. This year's event has brought Celeste.
Steam Summer Sale 2024 countdown
Although the countdown is over for the event, but not for the best game it offered.
Developed by MaddyMakes Games in 2018, Celeste is one of the best indie games released in the last decade. Given that it's now grabbable at a steep price tag of $2, 90% off from its original cost of $20, it's a must-try game if you haven't.

The game revolves around Madeline, a woman who ventures out to climb up a mountain. While this seems the simplest of the narratives, it may get complex with its dependency on us to decide the manner of dealing with it.
Giving the game an edge to be trusted in greatness is the way its themes are mirrored in every aspect of the game, as not only does it bring a gripping tale, but also the impeccable make-up of its formation.
This 2D title is the one wherein larger, lengthy levels come your way in small, manageable challenges that suffice to occupy the entire screen of the device.
Whenever Madeline falls into a pit or reaches for a spike, she immediately dies, but she does have a margin of jumping, climbing the wall briefly, and dashing through the air.
Although these facts may make it appear as a game with immensely challenging tasks, but with consistent practice and learning the combinations and skills for each challenge, you can be welcomed by a sense of accomplishment by completing those challenges.
