It took 3 years. and 3 hours of long, sweaty hand filled dread. but finally, I finished the Solemn Tempest. It doesn't feel real, I'm going off to the dlc now, and I'm looking forward to that. But man, if ever there was a good example of a climbing game, this is it. Get it if you like climbing, finish the last mountain if you like dark souls and have a good understanding of not using ropes regardless of how afraid you are. You'll want to start using ropes at around 4k meters minimum. Good luck. God Speed. I'm hungry.
Just finished the game. It's really fun. Really satisfying. The game is not too difficult overall, but there is a very dramatic difficulty spike towards the end. There's progression in your equipment and collectibles so it's pretty fun to unlock stuff. I did have somewhat frequent fps drops which was annoying. This may be due to running the game through proton though. Had a really good time. Would fall to my death again.
Quite possibly one of my favorite games, top 3. I'll start by saying that the difficulty feels steep early on but it's not one of those "rage" games that you might associate with the climbing genre. Yes it's fair, but rarely forgiving. The best part is the movement because the way you can manipulate your momentum is quite satisfying. Can feel a bit unrealistic once you get better at it though.. Generally, the gameplay mechanics are novel compared to other games I've played before and it really isn't for everyone; it didn't appeal to most of my friends and I only managed to convince one to get it (since there's a coop mod) I love the artstyle direction despite how simple the graphics are. Authentic to the time period. Many small details you can miss More importantly, someone considering this may wonder about replayability. The early levels do feel trivial once you complete the game and you'll realistically only replay the last 2 books. ||However|| when it comes to the DLC you will have fun replaying the entirety of it. It is significantly harder (and prettier) compared to the base game though, but you may be the type of player that enjoys the challenge. There are also custom maps you can create/download from the steam workshop, but I recommend that after you finished the game to avoid potential spoilers. On that note, dear developer, please fix the "ice" tag on custom objects so that I can finally release the map I've been working on. Yep. Great game, peak, even. Buy it
Peaks of Yore is an outstanding climbing game that teaches pain while encouraging persistence. Every single peak has you fixated on the summit not by guaranteeing success, but by the thrill of conquering the peak. This game shows you how fast things can escape from your grasp, whether that's a small tumble or a catastrophic fall. I know just about every other review says this but it's true: every other peak feels like a tutorial for the final mountain, and even then you still aren't ready. The final mountain makes you feel like you've summited an actual mountain by the end, and in my opinion is the hardest thing i've ever had to do in any game. Overall, this game is a true test of skill, making you frustrated, sad and happy try after try. 10/10 would recommend
