Great game but sometimes the rage level may go off the scale.

9.7 / 10

An extremely pleasant and timekilling game - 9/10

A legend in it's own right. You should buy it for a good time as well an awful time.

This game... I never thought I'd care about it when I was told about it. It always gets described as a "rage game".

It is, but it deserves more than that. This game punishes you when you don't execute a jump right and fly off into a saw blade. It doesn't hide information from you like a Mario Maker level or the like.

This game is Mario Bros.: EXTREME Edition. It's hard. It's fantastic. It might get you hard. I don't know. I don't judge.

It's ****ing fantastic. Buy it. I don't care if it's on sale or not. The makers of this gem ****ing deserve it.

P.S.: This game is NOT for those who get turned off from a game because they died 500 times. You will die. A LOT. Be a stubborn fool like me and smash your meaty brains into the wall. It's SO worth it.

I love to see the tears of the ones who try to 100% this game.

Some of it's achievements are even included on the hardest achievements of all time lists, so good lucky with that. Really.

Vegans beware, you're in for a scare. You ever stare at a piece of meat in the supermarket and think to yourself, "Man, wouldn't it be cool if that were alive?".

(...Visit a dairy farm.)

I am certain that at least some decent percent of those reading agree. And who could blame you? When such a thing as Super Meat Boy exists, what is there not to love? Super Meat Boy is a gory platformer with a silent cast of characters except for the main menu announcer you hear once during each playthrough.

There are many practical applications to this game, but before we get into those, let us talk about the game itself. Now the plot is pretty simple, girl made of bandages is kidnapped by evil fetus, very classic tale, but what differs in this game is that there is jumping. Platforming in this game is rage inducing, yet with a great sense of satisfaction. Each and every single death you may suffer at the hands of a circular saw or a pile of salt helps you grow and prosper as a player, (unless you're aiming for those ridiculous no-death achievements, good luck) and as you finally reach the goal of each level, upon completing it, you are serenaded with a symphonic score of your past attempts; you get a recap of all of your previous attempts trying and failing in a replay as one shining victor breaks away from the heap, scoring victory.

The characters, while they do not have any huge dialogue... Pretty much whatsoever, are charming. Sometimes you may not understand what they are doing onscreen at all as a result, and that is fine. Super Meat Boy is in now way a visual novel, it is a platformer that you keep playing on and on. The cast of characters is certainly an interesting thing to begin with, several other video game characters, mainly from indie games, can aid Meat Boy in his quest, such as the ever buddy-buddy Commander Video or a Headcrab from Half-Life, further hammering in the fact that a third Half-Life is nothing but a sad heap of hopes and dreams that nearly everyone, including me, is still desperately clinging on to.

Depressing realities aside, this game is great for a multitude of other reasons aside from the standard gameplay reasons:

-You can apply this to meat butchery in real life!

-Train to escape from those slow saws in spy movies that never work anyways!

-Pretend to paint a firetruck!

The list goes on. Super Meat Boy is, in my opinion, super charming. It is bloody brilliant platforming action. And it is quite literally a meaty game for such a small platformer.

Frustating but the feel after you beat that level is glorious

this game is a bloddy master pece :D

Extremely challenging platformer that has hours of playtime. Very cheap, very difficult, and very fun. Recommended
