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.

Super Meat Boy Forever is a game that suffers from inconsistent difficulty and some counter-intuitive mechanics. While the cutscenes and bosses are charming as always, this is one game that die-hards of the previous installment might want to skip. It’s still a fun time for those willing to overlook its flaws, however.

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

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 design, it makes this game feel like a joy.

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.

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 actually play.

Super Meat Boy was occasionally frustrating, because you could see the goal but struggled to reach it. It required lightning-fast reflexes and precision control and an understanding of all of the game's chaotic systems. Super Meat Boy Forever is frustrating because a lot of the time you don’t know what you’re doing.

A decade ago, the original Super Meat Boy released into what almost feels like a different industry. Team Meat's hardcore platformer was at the forefront of the modern indie renaissance; games like Super Meat Boy helped show that even small teams of dedicated developers could make a big mark on the gaming landscape. A few years later, Team Meat announced the follow up, Super Meat Boy Forever, a pseudo-sequel that would take Meat Boy into the world of autorunners. Naturally, this raises a few questions: can Team Meat distill Meat Boy’s pixel-perfect platforming into a game where players are limited...

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

Visually, Super Meat Boy Forever is as charming as the original game, and a bit smoother on top of that. The old-school Flash style is still present, with Flash lines and the same character designs that you’d expect to see, but it all looks cleaner and smoother. The music is catchy and suited to the fast-paced gameplay, though it’s not quite as memorable as I had hoped overall.

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.

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.

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 between sub-genres. And even though Super Meat Boy Forever is disappointingly not the premier cold cuts it once was, it’s still tender enough slab of beef worth chowing down on despite the chewy, gamey bits.

What feels like a tremendous opportunity to reimagine the Super Meat Boy franchise has been squandered. Pure and simple. We will eventually come to appreciate what Super Meat Boy Forever does well, but it is far from living up to the acclaim of its predecessor.

Back in October 2010 Super Meat Boy was introduced to the world. A quirky and brutally challenging platformer that will have you dying thousands of times before you are done with it. Now almost ten years later, we have a new entry in the series, Super Meat Boy Forever, with some mixed results.

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 game, but also some major differences–some of which have turned fans of the original off from the game all together, but we’ll get to that soon.

Super Meat Boy Forever is a sequel not afraid to shake things up, but in doing so it fails to capture much of what made the original so amazing

Ten years ago the original Super Meat Boy released and was part of the first big indie wave. It ushered in a return of precise 2D platformers, heralded for their tough as nails nature. After a decade of hard work and rework, the series has returned in Super Meat Boy Forever. Even with a key and curious change in mechanics, its joyously (but also rage inducingly) difficult platforming is worth the wait. Sort of. Maybe.

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.

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