honestly. this game was my zen game for the longest time. in a very stressful time of my life i remember booting this game up and just playing through it, time and time again. the music, narration, and clanking of the hammer against whatever i was throwing my mouse at was really comforting. it showed me the strength of perseverance and patience in a way that nothing else did at the time. i'm really glad that i took the opportunity to slow my life down and reflect with this game and i absolutely recommend it to people.

Good game. When they are old enough, this will be the first game my children play. They will not be allowed to play any other game, until they beat this one.

This game puzzles me. It puzzles me because I do not feel anger when I play it. Not once in my experience with this game have I ever felt like destroying something because I failed to accomplish something. I think it is because I have grown up watching streamers and Youtubers play this game, and feel immense anger. I've seen Markiplier throw his mouse at his wall, and this thought has never crossed my mind. On my first playthrough of this game, I was stuck at the orange part, after the furniture. I tried and I tried my hardest to climb those rocks and kept failing, but not once did I feel hatred towards the games developer. It was only when I reached the end that I truly felt "anger", not because the ending section was hard, but because I had been told in every conversation and review relating to this game, it had been described as infuriating and rage inducing. And yet I felt nothing. As of the time when I am writing this review, I have completed this game 20 times. And every time I come back to it, I feel as if I am a blind man staring at Michelangelo's David, unable to see its beauty and magnificence. Because this game is art, all games are art, but some games are modern art, just throwing things around with no rhyme or reason with people saying there's a meaning, or that the beauty is that there is no meaning. This is not one of those games, it is more akin to the works of Picasso, in that it's meaning is more abstract than anything. And yet whenever I play it and feel nothing, I do feel that I am spitting on his work. As I write this, I am reminded of something Bennet Foddy says when you reach the chimney, where he describes the process of creating this game, and says that his inability to surpass the obstacles he has made is his fault as a player, rather than a developer. I feel similar in that respect, because everyone else seems to feel intense anger and rage when playing this, and yet I do not. My inability to feel anger while playing this game is not his fault, as the developer, but mine, as the player. It is my fault. I am blind, while everyone else can see. This game is truly a work of art, but it is one I cannot truly appreciate, and in this respect I feel remorse, remorse that I will never be able to see this game as so many others have, as Bennet has intended for me to see it. Perhaps I shall one day understand why, but for now, I remain unenlightened.

This game took me around 20-50 hours to beat for the first time (I honestly have no clue of the exact amount, but it’s somewhere in that range). I bought it in 2020, tried it for a while, got to Orange Hell, fell, and then put it down. I picked it up again maybe a couple of months later, reset my save, did the exact same thing, and then put it down again. After repeating this cycle several more times, maybe about a year after getting the game, I finally made it to the snowy area—and that became my new stuck point. I continued this cycle for a couple of years, picking it up, resetting my old save, playing for a bit, putting it back down, and repeating this ad nauseam. After a while, I actually got pretty damn good at the game, able to reach Orange Hell in about four minutes from the start, but I never committed hard enough to actually beat it. In April 2024, more than four years after I’d originally purchased the game, I realized how good I had gotten from the frankly ridiculous amount of hours and resets I’d put into it, and I decided I would finally beat it. After four years of playing without finishing, I reset it one more time, this time determined to finish—and I did, in about an afternoon. After countless hours, resets, and more than four years of my life, I beat it, and it was really easy. About a week passed without me touching it, but then I booted it up again and ran through it in about 30 minutes. Since then, I’ve picked it up on and off, seeing how quickly I could finish. At this point, I think I’ve completed it maybe 30 times, with my fastest run being around 9 and a half minutes. Something that had previously taken me countless hours to do, I had just completed in under 10 minutes. "Getting Over It" is important to me. Why it’s important, I have no idea. I’m not really sure what I feel when I think about the game, but I know it carries an air of importance for me.

Tried to beat this game for ~15h in January 2018, couldn't get past that table with the orange. Today, in June 2024, I reinstalled it and got to the top within a time of 2h 40 min. I also finished school, moved to another city and got my bachelor's degree in Computer Science during those years. What does this say about me as a person? Have I become more patient, so that I could pull myself together when it is needed? Or did I become more insightful and ingenious, which allowed me to take different approaches to the slopes and hills, and conquer them? Maybe I got even more competitive over these years, and I wouldn't take anything but a win? Or, maybe it was all just dumb luck? Does it even say anything about me? For me, it's really one thing that matters. I got over it. Thank you, Bennett Foddy.
