Sylvio And The Mountain Giants

⠀

[b]UPDATE/FINISHED[/b]: the part where I used Telekinesis for the 1st time turned out to be a time-waster, as on my 2nd attempt, the platform still disappeared, and I kept wandering in other parts of the world in order to [strike]progress[/strike] ...

I enjoyed that the game encourages me to think about both movement and exploration instead of simply following a straight path toward the next objective. The world is also designed around discovery. There are different passages to unlock, monsters to avoid or confront and plenty of spaces that encourage me to look around rather than rush ahead. I liked the open structure because it gives the adventure a little more freedom than a traditional linear platformer. The story provides a nice reason to keep exploring.
