What Steam players say

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

Peaks of Yore is praised by players for its well-crafted levels set in beautiful outdoor locations, relaxing low-fi art style, solid performance, and positive character design that rewards exploration and speedrunning routes. However, players emphasize this is a challenging climbing game with a steep difficulty curve—some describe it as having an "abusive relationship" with demanding boss encounters that can take dozens or even hundreds of hours to complete, so it's best suited for players who enjoy punishing platformers and are prepared for a significant time commitment.

My playtime in the last two weeks is 19 hours... As of time of writing. I have not summited the last great height the base game offers, but I do intend to! Excluding that level for reasons I will get to (As it and the prior level have taken up a vast majority of my time in this game), this game is easily a 10/10 with overall enjoyable physics and a vast swath of peaks, hills, and other assorted items your Scottish peakbagging character will conquer sooner or later! Seabirds, loose rocks, and other treacheries make the climb difficult but never frustrating, and the presence of things like ropes, coffee, and crampons make the journey through the rest feel manageable. If you liked Getting Over It, you'll probably enjoy the tactile and physical nature of this game, as well as the "A-ha!" moments of getting past a difficult segment like it's nothing on your next attempt. All that being said, if I had to factor in the level which has taken up a majority of my playtime in an attempt to beat, I'd place the game probably at a 7 or 8 out of 10 instead. I remember going through early levels and thinking "Man, I was hoping I'd get to summit an actual mountain" and this level DOES deliver! Now…

Peaks of Yore itself is not the actual game that you are playing. (psychological horror) PS: Don't play this game as if it were Balatro, fun isn't guaranteed... :P

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
