completely unlikable for me outside of the bside levels which are fantastic. everything else sucks though, just a personal preference.

Best platformer of all time?

I hate platformers but I loved this game. Super difficult, getting to the summit took me about 12 hours and over 1600 deaths but I did it and I'm proud. The rest like finding the hearts for the core level and b-sides are way too hard for me to accomplish, but I loved the experience of 1-7 even though it was insanely frustrating at times and easily the hardest game I've ever played.

the final screen is so fucking hard because you have to not fall asleep when doing the same 10 regrabs for the 300th time in a row and waiting almost 2 minutes before you get to the part you're actually struggling with

@ trent_reznor18 you can use some "assist" mechanics in the settings (like having more jumps/dashes), it's not "recommended" but I think the Farewell DLC, b-sides and c-sides are really worth trying, sure they are hard AF but really enhance the game imo, both the story as well as introducing you to new/useful techniques (I wish the game did that earlier though). Also yeah I agree, this is one of these games where you're so fucking hyped/happy when you finally beat a level after so many tries haha.

Worthy of the hype for me anyway, pretty incredible game. Not really groundbreaking if you know platformers, and I think story was the most overrated part (like yeah it's cute but not THAT deep), but everything else is fantastic damn. Immediate yet layered/precise gameplay, amazing level design, charming visual style/atmosphere/world building, KILLER soundtrack, and way more content than I anticipated. Levels are surprisingly big especially if you go to all the alternate paths/want to grab everything. Difficulty obviously make it longer too, but I thought the learning curve was well-done, it gets tough rather fast but at least beating the game/normal levels is doable. Still has to beat Farewell's infamous last screen as well as the final C-side, don't know if I'll be able to but I'm sure gonna try, game is so addictive.

It's lovely to see when someone says that they are abandon this game cause it's too hard and that gets responded with something like "game says you to not surrender and stay calm, how you wasn't able to understand that, you fucking miserable moron"
