    I would say that this game is rather for hardcore games who like big challenges and punishing gameplay that will not forgive you any single mistake. It might be objectively good but the purpose of my reviews is to find the games that you can relax at instead of feeling anger and hopelessness because you were killed again    My video review you can find here:

    I would say that this game is rather for hardcore games who like big challenges and punishing gameplay that will not forgive you any single mistake. It might be objectively good but the purpose of my reviews is to find the games that you can relax at instead of feeling anger and hopelessness because you were killed again by something that appeared out of nowhere.

    Thus I have to give this nice but tough game thumbs down and VideoGaming Father's Index 5 out of 10

    Pros:
    - nice old school graphics
    - responsive control allowing to play on keyboard

    Cons:
    - spikes, darts and other obstacles are coming out of nowhere quite often
    - punishing gameplay
    - based on trial and error approach rather than on skills    … Expand

    Although it may seem an impossible game to beat, 1001 Spikes knows how to reward those who try to beat it thanks to a delightful level design.

    Like many of the games in the same league, it’s hard to recommend 1001 Spikes to those who aren’t patient enough to learn its deadly and intricate ways, or to those who are prone to smashing their controller through their TV screen in frustration. But to those who live off buzz words like “rage-inducing” and “old-school hard”, look no further.

    Its varied level design, gratifying gameplay, vast amount of content, and palpable tension make 1001 Spikes a must-play for people seeking a challenge.
