Nice. I remember this game kicking my butt when I played it on XLBA. I guess it really is the grand-daddy of much more enjoyable games to come after it, like Celeste.

I had a fun month with this game on XBLA. Got up to the top 70K on the leaderboards (no idea where I'm at now, since it's been a long while since I've played it) before I got to the point where I might play an hour or so and clear no more than maybe 1 or 2 levels. For Light World, I was stuck at about 12-13 or so complete in the fifth world (need 17 to reach the boss). Had a lot of Dark World levels complete for the first couple worlds, but my success there was drying up big-time after those two.

Yeah, I get that. There's hope yet for even our old asses. Which is funny, because, clearly our reflexes have slowed down, but we've somehow managed to get better at games just by playing supremely difficult ones and dying over and over. By the way, if you haven't already, you should play Celeste. If I wasn't so lazy, I'd have reviewed it.

I'll have to look it up. Since it's on the PS4, it'll be easy for me to get. But, it might be a while, since Trials Rising is gonna be out soon, supposedly, so I'll have to dive headfirst into that.

Good point -- that's what it's all about, that saved progress. Celeste is available on Steam too, btw, and while you're at it, check out Cuphead for another hard but amazing game.

I generally try to do the pure action on consoles, since I haven't bought a Steam controller for my computer yet and, therefore, prefer to play games that are more keyboard/mouse oriented there. But it looks like Cuphead isn't on the PS4, so if I want to play it, I'll have to get that controller.

You know you can use your PS4 controller to play Steam games, right?
