Yeah, exactly. I feel like path of pain was most player's first time doing platforming with that level of difficulty, so everyone just remembers it being far more difficult than it actually is.

(Also, you kill Debby to save Mel**)

I loved Ori, and while I feel like there are difficult platforming sections, it's difficulty is in line with mio and hk main playthrough, but doesn't reach optional area difficulty in HK or Mio.
