The End is Nigh ultra precise platform challenges will make you throw you controller at the wall with frustration. Still, you will return to its charismatic, intelligent and well designed world in a masochistic loop that reminds us of its elder brother: Super Meat Boy.

At the end of the day, you probably already know if this game is right for you. If you couldn't get enough of Super Meat Boy and have spent the past seven years fiending for more punishing platformers, than The End of Nigh is something you should immediately inject into your veins. If you are usually iffy on super-challenging platformers, but curious if this is the one that will turn you around, keep on walking.

There's a lot to like in The End Is Nigh, and seeing the Super Meat Boy formula tinkered with and experimented on is really interesting. The game suffers somewhat as a result, but damn, it's still a lot of fun to play.

I can't talk about The End Is Nigh without comparing it to Super Meat Boy because in so many ways it feels like a conscious alternative to some of the defining properties of that rapid, colourful, classic game. But measured on its own qualities, The End Is Nigh is a good game, but not a memorable one.

Edmund McMillen's newest platformer is one of the most difficult and frustrating you'll play -- but also one of the most enjoyable.

Backtracking to previous levels can be a pain, but the number of optional collectibles, secret levels, and more make it worth your time

A worthwhile, if familiar, successor to Super Meat Boy.

Edmund McMillen and Tyler Glaiel have done it again. The End Is Nigh is a new masterpiece, a statament of how to create videogame. It hooks the player and makes you an addict of this wicked plattform game.
