Super Meat Boy Forever Reviews
Super Meat Boy Forever is polished and glitzy, but the gameplay switch-up feels like a backward step from the addictive nature of the first game.
There’s plenty to love and adore out of the game’s design and it is a very good game. However, with its dare to experiment, it could leave fiercely loyal fans a bit disappointed.
Super Meat Boy Forever is an unforgiving 2D platform for hardcore gamers, but it lacks that sense of innovation that the original one brought to the table.

"Super Meat Boy Forever", which finally meet with players after so many years, neither continued the pixel-style graphic, but also made major changes to the original platform jumping gameplay. It's just that such a bold change did not make the game more fun, but it will disappoint the fans who love the predecessor.

Super Meat Boy Forever is an incredibly polished and fully worthwhile sequel to the platforming classic.
Super Meat Boy Forever is a sequel not afraid to shake things up, but in doing so it fails to capture much of what made the original so amazing
Super Meat Boy Forever is a decent enough game when considered on its own merits. Compared to the original, however, it's hard not to find this auto-running sequel disappointing. The platforming element has been neglected in favour of slicker visuals and user-friendliness.
To echo my thoughts – no, Forever is not Super Meat Boy 2, nor was it ever meant to be.
While some glaring struggles were noted throughout my time with Super Meat Boy Forever, it is also worth noting that I dealt with them and stuck with it as the heart of the game is incredible.
Super Meat Boy Forever will frustrate you; there's no doubt about it. But that's part of its draw. Just as games like Cuphead have an audience, the Super Meat Boy franchise has a slightly less masochistic one.
Super Meat Boy Forever provides great replayability, tough precision-platforming, and fun boss fights. Nonetheless, the game has fundamental differences from the original installment and won't appeal to the whole audience

Fans of the concept will appreciate the unyielding difficulty and the lack of ways to tweak it. But given the changes to the mechanics, it would be nice to see Team Meat make their new title easier to appreciate with less frustration.
Super Meat Boy Forever may look like the previous games in the series, but it actually features an autorunner mechanic that simplifies things... at a cost.
This is definitely one of those "your mileage may vary" kind of reviews; your enjoyment of Super Meat Boy Forever will be determined entirely by your particular enjoyment of masochistic platformers. If you played Super Meat Boy 1.0 and thought "man, I wish this were way harder," Forever may be just what you're looking for.
New Meat Boy is not Super. This time it is just strange and not not very amusing sequel.

Super Meat Boy Forever is a challenging platformer like its predecessor that needs precision and lightning-fast reflex to overcome its challenges. Some changes to the game like auto running may not appeal to older fans, but it is implemented reasonably well. The randomly generated maps of the game cause some of them to feel incoherent, and this makes the game overall feeling inferior compared to the previous installment. In general, it is an enjoyable platformer game, but it is nowhere near the original Super Meat Boy.

While Super Meat Boy Forever is a good game, it really doesn't compare to the original sense of precision movement and extreme difficulty that stuck out to the fans.
Super Meat Boy is a genuine classic that has stood the test of time and contrary to its title, I don't think Forever will. It still offers challenging and rewarding gameplay but its core mechanics sometimes make for a patience-testing and tedious affair.
Super Meat Boy Forever is a fun and just-challenging-enough platformer with endless replayability and lots of polish.
