Super Meat Boy
Super Meat Boy Forever takes place a few years after the events of Super Meat Boy. Meat Boy and Bandage Girl have been living a happy life free of Dr. Fetus for several years and they now have a wonderful little baby named Nugget. Nugget is joy personified and she is everything to Meat Boy and Bandage Girl. One day while our heroes were on a picnic, Dr. Fetus snuck up on them, beat Meat Boy and Bandage Girl unconscious with a shovel and kidnapped Nugget! When our heroes came to and found that Nugget was missing, they knew who to go after. They cracked their knuckles and decided to never stop until they got Nugget back and taught Dr. Fetus a very important lesson. A lesson that can only be taught with punches and kicks.
The challenge of Super Meat Boy returns in Super Meat Boy Forever. Levels are brutal, death is inevitable, and players will get that sweet feeling of accomplishment after beating a level. Players will run, jump, punch and kick their way through familiar settings and totally new worlds.
What’s better than playing through Super Meat Boy Forever once? The answer is simple: Playing through Super Meat Boy Forever several times and having new levels to play each time. Levels are randomly generated and each time the game is completed the option to replay the game appears and generates a whole new experience by presenting different levels with their own unique secret locations. We’ve handcrafted literally thousands of levels for players to enjoy and conquer. You can replay Super Meat Boy Forever from start to finish several times before ever seeing a duplicate level. It is truly a remarkable feat of engineering and a monumental example of ignoring the limits of rational game design and production.
They don’t give Oscars to games, but they probably will after Super Meat Boy Forever becomes the best movie of 2020 and 2021! Our story takes Meat Boy and Bandage Girl through several worlds in search of their darling little Nugget with beautifully animated cutscenes and musical accompaniment that makes Citizen Kane look like a reaction video to an sled unboxing. Players will laugh, they will cry, and when all is said and done maybe they’ll emerge from the experience a little better than when they started. Ok so that last part probably won’t happen but marketing text is hard to write.

Super Meat Boy will make you question your life choices, your reaction time and possibly your monitors structural integrity. The controls are so tight it almost feels unfair that you keep dying. Almost. Each death is 100% your fault and deep down you know it, which somehow makes finally clearing a level feel absolutely incredible. It's the kind of game where dying 300 times on a single stage is just called a Tuesday. If you enjoy masochism with a side of dopamine, this is your game.

A game where you die 100 times and keep going anyway.

It was probably not the best idea to play this as my first videogame ever, but it went surprisingly well. One of my favourites to this day.

Torture. Absolute ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ torture but I love it. I’ve tried so hard to get the final trophy but I physically cannot do the final world without dying after nearly 400 hours being pumped into it. Real test of skill and a classic, but maybe don’t play if you’re already having a bad day.
10/10 platformer as old as time.

All in all fun game i would say. Im no expert on the matter but i think some of the levels violate the Geneva Convention though. Or Human Rights. They sure as hell violated me in any case

Super Meat Boy doesn't try to be a lot, and as a result it is extremely good at what it does. Compared to other platforming games, there are no secrets, NPCs, or plotlines beyond Dr. Fetus doing something silly. But when it comes to gameplay, I haven't seen any game as good.
This game has extremely simple controls which makes getting better extremely satisfying. Throughout the game you unlock new characters but each comes with it's own upsides and downsides. There is no undisputed best character. All progression in the game comes from you building up your own skill, with basically no skill ceiling.
I genuinely believe this is the greatest platforming video game of all time. Just by playing casually, by the time you get 106% you will feel accomplished having completing a very difficult but not unreasonable task. That isn't where your skill progression ends though, as this game is ripe for speedrunning. Optimizing your movement to waste as little time as possible is extremely satisfying. Finding micro-optimizations like stopping before turning around or jumping through tight gaps to skip a few seconds from the intended route and putting them together into a single fast run is what makes this game so replayable.
Even if you never go down the speedrunning route, or even if you just get the light ending and ignore the dark worlds, you will still have had fun. But for the people out there who like challenges, this game offers so much room to grow in a way I haven't seen another game be able to replicate.
