For example, by quickly jump-punching on a straight horizontal run there’s a clear forward thrust. More interestingly is that whilst these basic actions are obviously required to get through the stages normally, by utilising them more skillfully in quick bursts, they can also be used for speed boosts to help with the time trials. Even better, it can also be used in the air to immediately divekick at a steep downwards angle, causing rapid decline but still acting as an attack that can be similarly used to activate portals or break through glass walls and so on. The other standard move, crouch/dive, allows Meat Boy to slip under low hanging obstacles and hit things easily when on the ground with a nice kick. No worries, though, death is common and respawning is instantaneous so you can keep working at getting it right (and doing it faster if you want to get an A+ grade and unlock the dark world stages). However, as it can only be done once in the air but is reset upon landing or by making a successful strike, they can be chained to cross huge chasms where failure to meet your mark or correctly activate a special ability means certain death. The punch is used for hitting enemies, both acquiring and activating one-use power-ups, and gaining extra forward momentum for a long jump, etc. Besides running and jumping, Meat Boy (or whatever other unlockable character you’re using) can also punch and dive/crouch, each of which have specific uses and are important to master. This seriously limits the player’s control and forces them to think around many of the problems they’ll face, quickly becoming formidable when combined with the many varied level mechanics. It also means the player can’t change direction unless they jump against something and basically push off the opposite way, leaving little room for mistakes around vertical climbing and wall running. If you’re not familiar with the concept, an auto-runner is a game where the character the player controls never stops moving forward, unless blocked by an obstacle. And I guarantee you won’t be disappointed. If you like demanding platforming, and I’d even go so far as to say puzzle solving for some of the more complex areas, give this one a shot. Each of the five main worlds (and special sixth) incorporate totally fresh ideas and continue to build on them over their six-level spans, then further still over their dark world versions, that are infinitely more difficult. And whilst it isn’t SMB2, it does push players to the absolute extreme of platforming execution and timing just like the original did just over a decade ago. Yes, it is an auto-runner, in the vein of Super Mario Run and so on, but it is the absolute pinnacle of that genre in terms of challenge, style, and mechanics innovations. I’m already tired of seeing the constant flimsy criticisms surrounding it because “it’s an auto-runner” and “it’s not Super Meat Boy 2”, which is not at all a fair evaluation of the game on its own merits.

#SUPER MEAT BOY FOREVER REVIEW DRIVER#
But not being able to be in the driver seat here is just not for me. Overall, I do like Super Meat Boy Forever is a side scroller now and procedurally generated. As I am more used to this on a mobile.Ī mobile iteration is which is what was intended for the game originally as far as I gathered, but losing the ability to directly control the protagonist on the “big platforms” with an actual controller kills the game outright for me on a controller-based platform like console or PC. This way of playing feels alien on my gaming laptop.
After trying to overcome my sincere dislike of this for an hour, I put away my controller in disgust. Outside of being stopped by a straight 90° wall, there’s no stopping. Meaning you cannot control the direction nor even the speed of your meaty protagonist. Super Meat Boy Forever is an auto-runner. But, you can only control jumping and ducking, the game does the “running” for you! It’s super challenging, with levels now being procedurally generated. The music and atmosphere are a great continuation from part one. All in all a perfect fit for the comic style art. Graphic settings can go up to 4K natively, making this super crisp. Even down to the last charming sharp line art. I loved that they kept the original comical over-the-top humour of the first Super Meat Boy. Players will run, jump, punch and kick their way through familiar places and new worlds all while enjoying a story truly meant for the big screen.
The challenge of Super Meat Boy returns in Super Meat Boy Forever! Levels are brutal and death is inevitable.
