Leap Year

brillian metroid-brainia that requires quite a bit of puzzle solving skills, puzzles (even when a walk-through feels required) have solutions that (at least to me) don't leave you feeling stupid, or like you couldn't figure it out yourself, in other words most of these are puzzles that I find I can leave for a few hours and when I get back I have (usually) come up with the correct solution when I was stumped beforehand.

It's a fun and clever little game. It's primarily about discovering what abilities you've actually had the entire time, so I won't explain what those are, but it's satisfying discovering them and realising how you can get to areas that were previously off-limits. It makes very good use out of a very small set of controls (left, right, jump). I'm pretty terrible at anything requiring reflexes and precision and coordination, but I didn't get too frustrated here. The checkpoints are generally pretty good. There are some tricky segments that require repeated attempts but most of the time the platforming isn't *hard*, it just requires a bit of focus. The difficulty is more in the puzzles, but even then it's not meant to be a difficult game. Just enough challenge to keep it interesting. I enjoyed my time with Leap Year, and I recommend it, but I am also quite happily done with it and I don't think I'll be trying the March DLC.
