Super Meat Boy Reviews
Super Meat Boy is one of the toughest platformers I’ve ever played. What starts out as challenging quickly transforms into a series of nightmarish playgrounds that had me cursing with frustration but more importantly always returning for more. With the inclusion of an all-new race mode, the Switch version of Super Meat Boy is one of the best yet and even worth a try for those who might already be familiar with this demanding game.
While joystick and button issues with Joy-Cons on the Switch give the game an unneeded layer of difficulty, Super Meat Boy plays as strong as ever and is an awesome game to have on the go.
As someone who originally played Super Meat Boy years ago, and has played games that have iterated on it since, I can say there’s still nothing that quite captures everything it does right. It feels fabulous on the Switch, it’s still as tough as ever, and the rewarding feeling when you conquer a tough-as-balls level never fails to put a smile on my face. If you’ve never indulged this may be the best platform to play it on as you can take it anywhere, and if you’ve played it before it’s well worth taking a return trip to Paintown, population: You.
If you're a masochist, this is the game for you. If you want a game to spank you, this is the game for you. You will die. A lot.
In summary, it’s really hard and you’ll hate it but, like… you’ll hate it in a really good way.
