Some of the mechanics are more enjoyable than others yet they all come together to form a cohesive and surprisingly intuitive gameplay formula. Whether you're using keys to unlock gates, dodging a saw as it clears the way forward, punching your way out of an enemy, or fighting a grueling battle with a boss there's a ton of fun to be had throughout the dozens of stages within Super Meat Boy Forever.

Even Meat Boy is perplexed by some of these bossesīesides the unfortunate reliance on memorization as well as trial and error, Super Meat Boy Forever contains an impressive amount of variety that makes its campaign consistently feel fresh. Why can't I tap a button to turn him around? Why does the screen kill him? I don't know the answers but I do know that these sorts of game design decisions are archaic and needlessly frustrating. One of the most annoying ways to bite the dust is accidentally leaping off a wall only to have Meat Boy change direction then run to the left side of the screen which kills him instantly. Just like in the first game, the challenge relies on your ability to avoid hazards as you carefully time jumps but the difficulty here can be much more irritating than the original for the simple fact that Meat Boy is perpetually moving so you have less control over him. Super Meat Boy Forever's gameplay basically involves tapping 2 buttons: one for jumping and punching and another for sliding and diving. I found this formula to be quite jarring at first but as I began to master stages, I started to enjoy my time with it much more although it doesn't quite reach the highs of the original. This means that you don't control Meat Boy left and right as he automatically runs forward yet he can change direction after leaping from a wall. First, it doesn't exactly follow the classic's gameplay because it's an endless runner. So, you can imagine how excited I was to play Super Meat Boy Forever and now that I have, I'm happy and a bit disappointed with what it has to offer. Since then, there have been many games that tried to copy its formula yet few managed to live up to its tight and challenging gameplay. I absolutely loved the original Super Meat Boy and remember how amazing it felt when I finally completed it.
Is the goal to see how much blood I can drench the saws in? It's been over a decade since Super Meat Boy released and we finally have a sequel but does it offer a bloody good time? Let's find out.
