Spelunker World

Spelunker World is a free-to-play game on PS4 trying to capitalize on the success of Spelunky.  I'll cut right to the chase - Spelunker World is not a good game.  I'd be amazed if you like it.  Write a comment below if you like it because I'd seriously be interested in why.  The controls are awful and you die for the smallest reasons.  If you fall more than like three feet you'll die.  If you don't jump from just the right spot to grab a rope you'll die.  And you get a few lives before the game says "Hey, give us some real life money if you want to keep playing!" I'm okay with free-to-play games, but this is just garbage.  It is so obviously difficult only to get more money out of you, not because it's challenging.  It's not challenging to jump over a gap perfectly - it's just annoying. Now I admit that I haven't played the game in multiplayer, but I seriously doubt that would improve the experience much.
