It's not about the price I just need to know about the jumping
I cannot play Metroidvania and even Lara Croft games are a big no. I fall to my death so much I think there was a stain on the ground shaped like me in Shadow of the Tomb Raider.

How hard is the jumping in this game? I cannot judge but based on my non existent skills in jumping can I play this?

The jumping is reminiscent of a Metroidvania, but almost all without the urgency. For the vast majority of the game, you can take your time and will not be forced to make any consecutive long sections of required platforming. Though there are rare cases of what I remember to be three to four jumps in a row during room sections (unless you include skips, which are not required for 100%). There is a standard, wall, and special jumps, with one of the latter being stationary when charging and easy to perform.

Though the interesting thing about your question is that through the vast majority of the game you are carving your own path. So the bulk of the navigation will be retracing the tunnels you have personally created. You will be doing a lot of jumping, but I would not compare it to a Platformer or fast paced Metroidvania. I hope that gives you a good idea. :steamthumbsup:

Edit: Slight spoilers regarding a powerup, but it definitely pertains to your question.
You will eventually get one that negates fall damage completely. This might influence your decision so I will leave it here.

Great in depth reply. Thank you.
I assume this is an accessibility issue for you? You should be fine; the danger comes more from long, sustained falls. There's only small portions of the game that are dedicated to platforming on a timer or otherwise being pressured, so you should have no issues. The main gameplay loop is much less about platforming, and more about digging out tunnels.
