This was our second playthrough! We originally played it a couple years ago, I think - and then, we expected it to be much shorter and more linear. It was pretty delightful finding out just how rich it was with material to explore.
On which note, it was an interesting contrast playing it again versus the first time. On that first game, we were very much in a mindset of embodying Claire, whereas this time it was much more of a "let's complete a game" feeling. The writing continues to be wonderful, and I highly recommend on a second playthrough going for the peak with only seven feathers - it adds a little platforming puzzle that we didn't get to explore the first time.
Oh, and definitely recommend controller. We played it with keyboard this time, and while they do their best to accommodate it, it was clumsier. Especially during camera moves.
