Reviews filled with sentiments of this game being both "too easy" and "too hard" are very apt. The Game of Sisyphus is a conceptually simple platformer that requires an extremely delicate hand and plenty of patience to complete. If you are a frequent enjoyer of "rage games", then this won't be a challenge for you. Otherwise, this serves as a great introduction to the genre as opposed to something like Getting Over It or Egging On , both of which may prove to be too difficult for the average player. Cheers to anyone who came here from AstralSpiff!

"A Masterclass in Futility – 10/10 Would Tumble Again" Ah, The Game of Sisyphus—where existential dread meets your afternoon gaming session. This delightful exercise in digital masochism tasks you with the noble pursuit of rolling a boulder uphill, only to watch it tumble back down with the cruel elegance of a Greek tragedy. The graphics? Minimalist. The soundtrack? A haunting whisper of agony. The gameplay? Imagine Dark Souls stripped of all progress, leaving only the raw, unfiltered essence of despair. Yet, against all reason, you’ll keep pushing that damned rock, as if this time — this time — the universe might finally take pity on you. (Spoiler: It won’t.) Is it fun? Debatable. Is it profound? Only if you’ve ever stared into the void and winked. For fans of absurdism, self-flagellation, or explaining to friends why you’re "enjoying" a game about eternal suffering, this is a must-play. Buddha would be proud. Or horrified. Possibly both.

After playing this game, I have to say, it was VERY challenging, and that is what I liked! This game tests your determination to continue and enjoy the journey in order for the destination to be reached! I am so happy to have experienced this game! I highly recommend it!

I can't give this a thumbs down because it's indeed a Sisyphus sim. Painstakingly roll boulder, boulder falls, chase boulder. The game seems to play fair, and I did not finish it. I think I got a quarter of the way up the mountain. I did return it, and it should be said that this does not belong in the same category of Jump King, Getting Over It or Difficult Game About Climbing. In those games, the goal seems to be heavy skill and consistency development under a veneer of punishment, and this is rewarded with a lot of tech growth and speedruns in the minutes. In GOI and DGAC, my first climbs were in the ~8-10 hour territory and wound up in the 6 minute and 1 hour territories, respectively. I could see a reasonable path to sub 20 minute for DGAC, but I didn't enjoy it quite as much as GOI. This game just felt like a slog. I looked at speedruns and the world record for the standard ball is just under an hour. That may be enjoyable content for someone, but that someone isn't me.
