It helps the game feel very fair, and not as frustrating as one might imagine.įorever introduces a bunch of new mechanics to give it a unique identity over the original. Thankfully, Forever features an awful lot of checkpoints, so players will only get stuck on one set-piece at a time, and figuring it out will trigger checkpoints where to respawn after your next death. In Super Meat Boy Forever, failing the timing will result in your death, as many times even going backwards in the level will mean death as the screen sometimes does not offer walls to re-attempt the jump. In fact, the general feeling is that some levels almost require what is known in fighting games as a just-frame, meaning you need to press the button combination at an exact time, otherwise you will fail the input. Still, being a platformer with unforgiving environments, auto-running can feel very discouraging in levels where you need perfect timing. This will surely be a shock at first as you will be lost trying to figure out the timing of the runs and whatnot, but will become relatively manageable after a bit of playtime. The sequel though carries a twist, which may not be very well received especially by people who loved the first Forever is a runner, meaning Meat Boy will always be moving forward and cannot be stopped. The game immediately kicks off with the first level, which serves as a reminder of the most basic commands in Super Meat Boy Forever. Unfortunately, Dr Fetus is back again and after having kept Bandage Girl hostage before Meat Boy’s heroics, decides now to kidnap Nugget, thus sparking the couple’s rage who will do anything to get their baby back. In Forever, the couple has the most adorable baby in history, called Nugget. Super Meat Boy Forever is a direct sequel, as it follows the adventures of Meat Boy after he rescues Bandage Girl.
I am not one to quit a lot of games, so I wanted to test my patience once again with Super Meat Boy Forever, the LONG awaited sequel to 2010’s smash hit title. I was in fact one of these victims of the game, as although I lost count of the number of levels I made it through, I could not bear the remainder of the game.
Releasing in 2010, Super Meat Boy was one of the hardest platforming titles one could ever hope to play, and with salt levels going through the roof, I bet not half of the players starting it finished the story mode.
Fans of platforming games will no doubt remember the launch of one of the last decade’s most famous titles – Super Meat Boy.
