Super Meat Boy Forever

Super Meat Boy Forever makes some big mechanical changes but maintains its predecessor's reputation as one of gaming's toughest, most satisfying platforming challenges.

To compare Super Meat Boy Forever to its predecessor is folly. They're two different types of games, but Team Meat makes sure to inject its unique seasoning into both. As far as auto-runners go, Forever stands along the top as one of the best in the genre, despite a short story length. With so many possible stage layouts, a multitude of challenging mechanics, and Team Meat's fluid platforming desi...

Super Meat Boy Forever is a fun and just-challenging-enough platformer with endless replayability and lots of polish.

10 years after the original release of Super Meat Boy on Xbox Live Arcade, Team Meat has finally released the long-awaited sequel, Super Meat Boy Forever. Forever being an appropriate name to sum up the game as it felt like it took forever to release, but finally, here we are with the game in hand ready to die over and over again. Super Meat Boy Forever has a lot of similarities to the original ga...

Super Meat Boy Forever may look like the previous games in the series, but it actually features an autorunner mechanic that simplifies things... at a cost.

Meat Boy's long-awaited sequel doesn't muster the same joy as its predecessor.

Super Meat Boy Forever is an interesting sequel. It attempts to build on the legacy of its predecessor, but the additions it brings to the table cannot elevate it beyond the simplicity of the original. The updated visuals are welcome, but Super Meat Boy Forever is a classic example of trying too hard to innovate, while losing sight of what made the series so beloved.

Super Meat Boy was, and still is, one of the greatest 2D platformers of the modern era. Extremely difficult yet extremely fair, the 2010 platformer excelled because of its tight controls and clever level design — the soundtrack and goofy tone were just solid extras. These qualities make Super Meat Boy Forever’s jump into the auto-runner genre a little peculiar at first, given the differences betwe...

Super Meat Boy Forever is a decent enough game when considered on its own merits. Compared to the original, however, it's hard not to find this auto-running sequel disappointing. The platforming element has been neglected in favour of slicker visuals and user-friendliness.

While Super Meat Boy Forever is a good game, it really doesn’t compare to the original sense of precision movement and extreme difficulty that stuck out to the fans.

While Super Meat Boy is arguably one of the best modern 2d platformers, the same cannot be said about Super Meat Boy Forever. The game abandons much of the identity of the original in order to try and offer players infinite replay value with a more stripped-down gameplay style. But rather than a game that encourages repeat playthrough, Super Meat Boy Forever is more fun to watch than it is to actu...

A hugely disappointing sequel, where the high difficulty, restrictive controls, and randomly-generated levels all contribute to a thoroughly miserable platforming experience.
