Even though this was in the original, Super Meat Boy, it still feels just as rewarding completing the level and knowing that it’s over.īoss fights are where Super Meat Boy Forever excels. The death replay system lets you rewatch all your deaths on the level. The quick respawns keep the flow going between levels. And although there are no serious consequences for death, it doesn’t make it any less frustrating.Īlthough the game will turn you slowly insane, the severe difficulty isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Super Meat Boy Forever can put you in situations where you are dead if you don’t jump instantly when you respawn. These random level fragments lead to a non-existent difficulty curve.
Some chunks are ridiculously hard, and others you can breeze straight through. The procedurally generated chunks are a terrible idea. This means the developers created chunks, and each time you start a new game, levels are made with different chunks to complete a level’s design. In theory, this sounds amazing until you realize the levels are procedurally generated.
Super Meat Boy Forever boasts over 7000 levels. “Some levels you come across are completely broken.” It teaches you the controls and unique level design early, then throws you in the deep end and expects you to be a grandmaster in 10 minutes. You could even compare the game to Dark Souls in terms of the way it is played. Timing and precision are crucial otherwise, you will meet your demise. You can change directions by jumping off walls or running into ramps, but that is where the creativity ends.ĭue to the auto-running system, the game is hard. This leaves the game with only two buttons, Duck and Punch, making it a certified mobile game. You feel locked in, unable to dictate pace and direction your freedom stripped. Now, coming to Nintendo Switch, I was thrilled to try Super Meat Boy Forever, but unfortunately, it has left me to question whether it should have been released on anything other than mobile devices.Īuto-running in Super Meat Boy Forever is its biggest issue. Having heard that the sequel was originally going to be a mobile game, I was sceptical about trying it. The original Super Meat Boy had me playing for hours, falling completely in love with Meat Boy.
