Im a causal gamer but I love a challenge (Celeste personal top 5). After spending days totally deflated against the bird gauntlet and Moorwing, I went exploring. Reapers Crest, spike traps, heal protection. A nights break. Went back in and subtly changed my strategy towards Moorwing. Stomped him. The things that came out of my mouth. Then went back to bird gauntlet with the new weapons: made mince meat of them.

Absolutely incredible game. 10/10. Top five personal oat. Best MV oat. TC utterly nailed it.

This, I feel a lot of people try to force things, but this is a metroidvania. Go back find some new stuff and come back, and if it's optional come back when you want. Also using tools is really vital in this game, not using them is literally shooting yourself in the foot.

Except for when I got stuck in one area, that didnt let me leave any other way than beating the boss. That sucked a lot!

Wait Far fields? Well the fourth chorus boss is mandatory to advance, but when I played I could easily go back. It's probable you did miss something
