Super Meat Boy

This game is brutally hard, it's the Dar Souls of platformers, this will challenge even the best of platforming pro's, however if your patient and persistent you will eventually emerge triumphant. This game was clearly made for an audience who grew up in the 90's, a time where games pretty much taught you how to swim by throwing you into a shark-infested river, and it shows with an art-style and chock full of references to games of past.

Trash graphics, trash story, trash controls, and overall just annoying game. The tutorial is incompetent and unwelcoming to new players to the game,

The sound design and the soundtrack also lack any good content or symphony.

2/10

Super Meat Boy is a very hard platformer made by Edmund McMillen, and this is one of my favorite games made by him. I shall now review it.

This game starts with Meat Boy and Bandage Girl being happy, until the evil Dr. Fetus beats up Meat Boy and kidnaps Bandage Girl. So now you have to go get her, or whatever.

The real meat of the game is the fantastic gameplay, however. Meat Boy can run, jump, and that's about it, but the amount of fun they squeezed out of this simple moveset is astonishing. The levels are all diverse and unique, and they're also super short, which I quite like. As in, the levels are all one screen long. It's pretty neat. The game is also tough as nails, like holy crap it's hard. Especially in the bonus world The Cotton Alley, which I still haven't beaten.

There's also boss battles, which are pretty eh to me. They're fine, I guess, but nothing too amazing. They pretty much just entail running around and doing certain things (great explanation, I know). My least favorite part of the entire game is probably Little Horn, boss of chapter 4, as he's only beatable if you've got either insane pattern recognition skills, or you look it up. Or you spend 5 hours learning his moveset. Your choice.

I know this was a pretty short review, but I really don't have much else to say. I just really like this game and I think you should play it!

I belong to the old school generation of players going back to NES and before. This title is amazing for lovers of classic platform games. A great tribute to 8-16/bit games. Levels are diverse and extremely challenging, they are also designed to enable speed running. The music is very well crafted, it has the 8-bit feeling yet if has a modern pace and energy, it's capable of evoking old times while keeping you motivated to keep going when levels become very hard to beat. A highly recommended title to play for hours, i only stop when my thumbs are hurting. This game is highly recommended I have been playing this game for hours and hours and it really takes me back to the days when you had to really master every inch of a level in order to finish a game.

All of the reviews you see here are probably bad ones - because they're bad at the game. One says that the controls are bad, but actually the controls are really easy to navigate and remember. Play this game now, you won't regret it.
