They start out pretty ho hum and a bit meaningless at the start and get increasingly interesting and more dire as you scale the mountain.
It's a very solid game and I highly recommend it.
I was kind of just expecting Uncharted levels of climbing but it has full on rock/wall climbing mechanics which I haven't really seen done before and they made it super enjoyable.
I think where the game really shines is in its environmental storytelling. There are no other characters other than you and a pet you find along the way but what is left is the remnants of a city long abandoned and as you hike the mountain to get to the top you learn about its people and what happened to them. You also pick up sea shells which can listen too and they kind of bring back the sounds and sites of the cities when it's alive.
It's a really really cool game and it's only about 5 hours long. Its also incredibly pretty to look, the world they built is gorgeously detailed and the implementation of the HDR is really well done. It runs at a solid 60fps.
Highly highly recommend.
I've also been playing an embrassing amount of super mecha ball (I think that's what it's called). It's basically a rogue lite game where your a little mech that can roll up into a ball and smash people. It's not an overly flashy or expensive looking game but the combat has a really nice flow to it and it's the perfect game to hop into for 15 to 20 minutes. The difficulty does seem to really ramp up after the third boss though so I'm In a loop where I breeze through the first few levels and then get stuck on the fourth.
Also if you are a fan of Vampire Survivors, check out Brotato. It's very similar concept to vampire survivors but it's also doing enough different to differentiate itself.

If you somehow missed this game when it launched last september or whatever I highly highly recommend it.
Just an absolute masterclass puzzle game. Its a totally unique, incredibly challenging well also being really rewarding. Inception is the best way to describe the way the puzzles work (ie. there are spheres with different worlds in them that you go in and out, each of those worlds have an ability and you can bring those worlds into other worlds which leads to some reallly fun and interesting puzzles
I'd say a puzzle game hasn't captivated me in this kind of way since the Portal games 15 years ago.
Like Portal there were a handful of times I got stuck and had to just mess around the environment until that light bulb "aha" moment happened.
The graphics and sound design are very good, I'm not sure about the story, I started it in September when I was knee deep in Starfield, dropped it and and picked it up earlier this week so it didn't make any sense to me (but also I don't think it was supposed to) .
Its also not long, I think it only took about 4-5 hours to beat with an extra 15 minutes spent after the game getting all the achievements.

Anyone try Everspace 2?? Great game if you’re looking for a spaceship shooter. Been playing it for a couple of days now and can highly recommend.
See if it wasn't for the tweets, we would never have known that it was not playable at the time
Pokemon but with guns, coming to GamePass...
