Finally beat Peaks of yore. Or rather, I saw credits. I still have three mountains to climb, the last of which I'll probably never bother with.
For those curious, peaks of yore is a mountain climbing game taking place in the late 1800s. It's not a frustration machine like getting over it, but it is challenging and occasionally unforgiving. You play in first person and you spend a lot of time looking up at your hands, but it really works and gameplay feels tight. If you fall, it was your fault.
At the start you have beginner peaks. Small hills more or less. Then you take on bouldering, and eventually the advanced peaks which take longer and are much more difficult. Beat enough and you get a ticket north to face a several mile high peak that takes hours to summit. You don't need to summit everything to see credits.
If any of you are up for something of a unique game that can make you feel like a climbing god on an advanced peak summit, give peaks of yore a shot.
