All the best games are about climbing mountains. It's the easiest metaphor to make for improving yourself with the "falling down and getting back up" kinda thing, but this game doesn't really do that. You're just on a pleasant hike and you get to fly around talk to people and do things. It's very nice. Only issues were that swapping items could've been more convenient, and the camera could be annoying when flying long distances. Otherwise, this game is a Certified Chef's Kiss.
