I found because of this some sections of the game were way harder than they should be and a simple reset of the level fixed my problem. I really liked most aspects of the game, but I really don’t like the procedurally-generated nature of proceedings.

The difficulty is insane, and adrenaline junkies will get their fill of a good time here. I’m embarrassed to say how many times I died in the hands of bosses. At the end of each world you must fight a boss that will push your patience to the limit. While very fun, they will leave you fuming.
#Super meat boy forever review ign series
I’m honestly surprised my switch survived me playing this game, as not having a directional pad in handheld mode did not help make this game any easier.Īnother new addition to the game is a series of incredibly hard boss battles. Meatboy was made to be murdered over and over again. I found myself fumbling with the controls trying to make my way through each level. Two buttons should be easy enough to master but they aren’t. You also don’t control your character, he controls you. Each of these weapons will be sure to cut your meaty flesh at least once. You’ll use your powers to overcome all kinds of nasty weapons like spikes, sawblades, knives, lasers and more. One for Jump/Punch and one for Slide/Dive. It’s just too hard for a simp like me.Ĭontrols have been overhauled here, again another change I’m not sure was necessary. There’s no way in bloody hell I’m going to ever be able to ace any of these levels and collect all the goods, especially since they are never the same.

Over the course of the 6 hour playthrough I barely managed to scrape by most levels.

Where the first Super Meat Boy took a while to up the difficulty Super Meat Boy Forever wastes no time. Meat Boy, Bandage Girl, and their new baby, Nugget get entangled once again with Dr Fetus, leading these proud parents to punch and jump their way through seventy levels of intense platforming goodness.Įxpect to die a lot. There’s around an hour’s worth of beautiful cartoon cutscenes to help flesh out the story. There’s plenty more story this time around for those looking for more meat in their video games.
