I'm a big fan of Brittle Hollow! The dynamic plates falling into the black hole, & the huge amount of lore on the planet... Not to mention the amazing Lantern raining down hell all the time!

I love them all, but I remember very well the first time I went through the clouds of giant's deep and discovered the huge tornados and ocean. I was so scared I had goosebumps.

For sure!! Another great moment is the music and environment shift when you first find the major secret on this planet! 😅 Very cool moment (edit= I don't know how to censor spoilers 😅)

I was so eager to launch that I failed to appreciate how much there was to do on Timber Hearth. As with so many of the planets, extra content was hidden in plain sight too. I really appreciated how there weren't any tricks, you just had to reassess your assumptions about viable places to explore

I can feel this. I remember my very first launch I went to the Attlerock which gave me a nice view of Timber Hearth, but I was so excited to go exploring space I didn't bother looking around my own home planet until hours later.

The Hourglass Twins, because it’s literally a giant hour glass, just such an interesting idea and it matched the whole theme of time running out. Every planet had something unique and interesting about it, but the one place I hated going was Dark Bramble, even up til the end. It’s just such a foreboding place that has one of the few actually “villainous” things in the game (the anglerfish) and just the whole design with thorny brambles reinforces the idea that it’s not a great place to go.
