How difficult is this?

I'm intrigued by the atmosphere, but I really don't like super difficult platformers where you have to repeat the same passage 50 times.

For example, I loved Fez, but hated Ori and the Blind Forest because I simply couldn't progress.

This game is closer to Ori than it is to FEZ. Most strawberries, the optional items in the game, are behind one-screen platforming challenges that usually last about 30 seconds when done flawlessly. Only two puzzles require FEZ-like puzzling, sadly. However, this game has an Assist Mode for each save file that unlocks options that make the game much easier, in case you just want to experience the story and atmosphere without repeating sections.

This might not be your cup of tea. There is however, an assist mode which removes any difficulty but allows you to experience the game. But as a result, it also significantly shorterns the length if you fully rely on it.

If you found Ori and the Blind Forest too difficult then this is not for you.

Both this and Ori are tough but fair. Though this is a way more challenging. Dying 50 times on a section is actually normal, the games trying to get you to learn the strategy. You could easily die 1000's of times through the story.

I'd reccomend trying it and if its too tough there is actually an Assist Mode where you can modify the difficulty a lot

Then this might not be for you.

Each section is about a screen in size, with 5-15 jumps of varying difficulty (ranging from easy to very hard).
I think I did pretty well in the game, and I had to attempt some maneuvers 15-25 times.
There is also all the optional stuff, which is WAY harder.

Now, all that being said, the game features an "easy" mode (called Assisted mode). I havn't tried it myself, but from what I gathered, you could toggle all sorts of "cheats", such as extra air-jumps, infinite wall-climb timer and so on.
It requires a certain self discipline if you want to use that, but you could totally do that, and still experience the entire game.

The story, however, is rather "meh" in my opinion. But you might be able to find a level of difficulty that suits you. :)

I like how everyone's replying to this person at almost the exact same time.

Just beating the game normally is pretty easy. 100% completing the game is extremely hard though and will take at least like 40 hours if you are good at platforming games. But even someone who is very bad at games should be able to beat this game in like 10 hours.
