Absolutely blown away by this game. Simply stellar. I started it back in 2018 and for whatever reason after ten hours or so I stopped playing and kept telling myself I'd eventually get back to it. But then I was stuck in this limbo of hesitating to jump back in or starting from scratch. With the hype growing for Silksong, I decided that enough was enough and it was finally time to return. 107% completion ain't too shabby, might eventually do the boss rushes but not compelled at the moment.
Whew, what an epic game. An "Oops, all minigames" middle chapter to the utmost degree and I had so much fun. The final act had a bit of tedium to it especially after 120 hours or so but the spectacle of it all made up for it. Its greatest strength (aside from the non-stop amazing music) is the character work amongst the party. Still in awe of a studio not only remastering a classic but reimaging it in great fashion. Can't wait for the conclusion.

Games like this make me realize how much I love platforming games. Pixel perfect sequences feel so good. I had Super Meat Boy on my mind when playing (even before the cameo!) because it does the same thing where failure is extremely short, you start again right away and the music keeps going so you stay in the zone. Great game. Those last few levels were insane.
