So, despite my misgivings, I decided to buy #AnimalWell because people kept talking about how great it is (and that the platforming isn't hard).
Reader, the platforming (well, traversal in general) is hard, in a slightly slippery way that doesn't feel good for what it wants you to do - and it doesn't have enough save points.
(It *is* beautiful, but I am very close to giving up on the beauty because of the gamefeel after an hour, it's that offputting.)
So, almost 9 hours into #AnimalWell and, I am still not sure it's actually a great game. It gets better once you unlock options (it's a Metroidvania after all), but there's some extremely tricky platforming needed to finish the "basic" challenge in the game, and save points are definitely too far apart. (I've gotten exactly 1 of the "final items" so far, and spent an hour trying to get one of the others and failing and respawning stupidly far back.) Plus, very distressing noises in one section!
