Critic Reviews for Angry Video Game Nerd 8-bit
I loved Angry Video Game Nerd 8-Bit. I was worried the gameplay might be a bit simple at first, but the level choice and non-stop gags kept things fresh.
Angry Video Game Nerd 8-Bit is both a charming love letter to the AVGN series and a challenging retro sidescroller that is immensely fun.
Angry Video Game Nerd 8-Bit is a must-play title for fans of the series, or for 2D action platforming fans who don't mind a bit of colourful language and shenanigans.
A fun retro platformer on its own, but a true nostalgic treat for long-time fans of the Nerd
The Angry Video Game Nerd 8-Bit isn't just a fun retro throwback to days gone by; it is a legitimate modern-day NES game that captures what made these games special. Drawing heavy inspiration from Mega Man, it successfully blends the series' classic gameplay mechanics with stages and ideas from other NES titles, and the end result is a game all platforming fans can enjoy. While you do not need to be a fan of AVGN to enjoy this title, it is packed full of fan service that will put a smile on your face, and the live-action skits are nice to see as well. This game is in fact an Angry Video Game Nerd episode in disguise; it's just you are the one playing it this time, and not the Nerd. Either way, if you are a fan of retro platformers, and especially the classic Mega Man series, then this is a game you will not want to miss out on.
Angry Video Game Nerd 8-Bit is an essential experience for any retro enthusiast, a successful throwback to the NES years where every pixel, every sound and every trap told a story.

The Angry Video Game Nerd 8-Bit recreates some of the worst NES games in a way that retro gamers and longtime fans of the series will appreciate. It delivers a classic NES style experience wrapped in a story that feels straight out of an episode of the show.
Angry Video Game Nerd 8-Bit is part tough-but-fair NES game, part brand new (and highly nostalgic) AVGN episode. Even if it’s painfully short (again, it’s actually a game that can be played on a console from 1985), and even if some deaths felt cheap, I kept playing it with a dumb smile on my face all the time. More than just cheap nostalgia for one of the most famous and important internet celebrities of all time, this is purely and simply a pretty solid 2D action platformer.
