Incredible game. its not a regular rage game, it lets you get better climb after climb and presents you a hard but doable challenge. You get the feeling its not a level made for you to get mad, but to get better. Also hi spiff thanks for the recomendation, plink

I saw AstralSpiff play this, so I decided to give it a try, thinking that if I didn't like it, I'd just refund it, no harm done. But Peaks of Yore is honestly one of my favorite games to have come out in 2024. It introduces mechanics slowly and allows you to get accustomed to using them before adding more to the mix. Movement, once you get the hang of it, feels fluid, and it's fun to swing between holds. You can also unlock different modes as you push through the game; You Fall You Die (YFYD), which does what it says, and Free Solo, YFYD but with no ropes, so if you fall, you have to grab on to something on the way down to not die (or alt-F4, that works too). You also get access to time trials for all mountains, if you're interested in that kinda thing. The mountains are a good mix of challenging and fun, and their designs punish falling while still letting you save yourself if you react quickly. Except for one. Screw you, Elderhorn or whatever your name is. I don't even care enough about you to remember your name properly. I hope that when powerful enough explosives are invented in-game, Elderhorn is blown to smithereens first and used as a quarry. Diagonal climbing on overhangs that jut out so that even if you are able to save yourself, you have to swing underneath in the air just for a chance at not blacking out and being sent to the start. I hate this mountain with a burning passion. Great game otherwise. And no, it's not a rage game. Hyped for the DLC soon.

It's criminal how low traction this game is getting from what i've seen of it. This game is a joy, it's a pleasant, frustrating but a fulfilling, joy. I bought it after i had watched a youtuber named AstralSpiff play this game and i knew i immediately had to know what this game was about. The amount of fulfilment you get from beating every challenge really does feel like you climbed it, you beat the mountain, or cliff or whatever else comes in your way. It's frustrating yes, but it does not laugh at your mistakes, it wants you to keep it going, it WANTS you to beat it and encourages you to keep on trying cause it knows that you can win, and only with your tenacity and skill are you able to win. Only you. With much fun and authentic-like events like the rest of the mounaineers you will meet on your journey and the quantity of tools to guide and help your way across all challenges. As you arrive to your location. It may be a cliff, crevice, or mountain. But you stand there looking at it. At first, it looks daunting, scary even, But you take a deep breath and say to yourself; "I can do this." UPDATE. I have beaten all of the peaks except for the last. It's a rough experience but if I can do it, you can too.
