You know, the usual. Partly cloudy with a chance of extremely inconvenient rain.

I fell you. The second combat shrine I stumbled on, with only four hearts to my name, was a major test of strength. That was a satisfying win.

This is also a good Miyamoto story.

Is it me or is this the best video game in like 6 years?

I don't know why people constantly make this argument. The classic Genesis trilogy of games were FULL of speed-killing platforming sections. Heck, arguably the most entertaining level in Sonic 2 was the casino slot machine, which required you to be slow and precise.

Eh, the classic Sonic games had a bunch of platforming that broke the momentum and sense of speed as well.
