It may make you curse, snap a controller in half and throw your handheld out a window, but that's all natural. That's just how things used to be. A glorious time, indeed.

At times it becomes a mind-numbing slog, as you're reduced to performing the same rote set of actions for hours until you perfect the one jump or dodge that's holding you back. The reward is a sense of mastery, but the price can be awfully steep, making this a true test of skill – and patience.","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.ign.com\u002Farticles\u002F2014\u002F06\u002F08\u002F1001-spikes-review","2014-06-08",{"id":81,"author":82,"outlet":85,"summary":90,"review_url":91,"review_date":92,"original_score":93,"normalized_score":52},79669,{"id":83,"name":84},5929,"Cyril Lachel",{"id":86,"logo":87,"name":88,"website_url":89,"score_format":47},59,"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.criticdb.com\u002Fstorage\u002Fv1\u002Fobject\u002Fpublic\u002Favatars\u002FOutlets\u002FGaming-Nexus-Logo.jpg","Gaming Nexus","https:\u002F\u002Fgamingnexus.com\u002F","1001 Spikes joins a growing list of retro-themed games made for modern consoles.
