This game, is not for everyone. It's frustrating, the controls need time to get used to and it's very likely to lose a lot of progress while climbing. But, in a way, this game is the embodiment of why I like playing games, despite not being very skilled at them. It's the knowing that I can try again, that I've done it before and that I am capable at conquering the obstacle if I keep trying. To me, this game was rarely actually frustrating. After all, I'm used to failing. But besides that I see this game as fair. And whether that's true is subjective, yes it can be tough and frustrating but the rules don't change until the very end. Where it gives you lack of leniency it also gives back in consistency.
