    Game that will make you scream, think about which of your equipment is the cheapest so you can break it, rage quit and repeat until you beat the game and realize that it wasn't that difficult. I beat the game 50 times and I'm not proud of it.

    to others this might, but to me this is a fun and moderately challenging game. love it, if you download mods and maps it makes the game funnier, challenging and less repetitive. love it.

    Considering how simplistic games have become, especially in recent times, and how much they take us for idiots and try to keep us on our toes and keep us moving forward, it's like we don't even play games anymore.

We've even seen some games receive interactive movie-style criticism in this regard. Especially older people or those who are familiar with old games know that in the past, it was very difficult to progress and finish games, and that's why it was an achievement. The difficulty of the games, whether they were of high quality or not, made these games a challenge. It is when the game goes to extremes in terms of difficulty or loses its difficulty quality that the game can start to feel more like a challenge to overcome than a fun challenge. At this point, people stop having fun and therefore stop playing. But again, if we compare it to the old games, people were finishing games despite the ridiculous and poor quality difficulty levels. I think it would be torture to finish the NES games of the time without today's modern save systems. Of course, there was also the tactic here that the games of that period were not long and therefore the gameplay time was extended by putting an artificial difficulty in the game. Later on, this kind of difficulty gave way to cryptic games in popularity. Cryptic games try to keep the player in the game by keeping the sense of exploration high without tasting an artificial difficulty. Although this type of game, which challenges the mind instead of reflexes, is not a genre on its own, it has been able to sign successful games by combining with other game genres.

    Today's world is far away from long and difficult things. The human attention span has shortened a lot and we can all follow this on social media. The fast food culture that once came to food has now been transferred to games. People want everything to happen in an instant. They don't want to think about games, they don't want to keep the story of a 40-hour game in their minds until the end of the game. This leads to today's difficulty revolution. Especially console exclusive games, which try to attract the audience that is distant from games and whose minds are in this direction, hold the hands of the players very much. This is evident in one of the most important games of 2022, "GOW: Ragnarok", one of the most important games of 2022. The fact that it tries to help you without letting you look at the puzzle you face even for a second was a point of criticism for many people who played the game. Considering that the most watched parts of the gameplay videos on Youtube today are the puzzle parts of the game, it is normal for the producers to think that they acted wisely when they put this feature. One wonders how many years it would take these people to finish Grim Fandango without help.

    We can say that Getting Over It, which is completely difficult and frustrating, is a difficult game of modern times. It treats you like the games of those times that were difficult and threw away all your progress when you lost. Even though you go crazy with anger when you fall to the beginning of the game from the place where you have already exited after hours of effort, this is exactly what the game aims for. It puts a challenge in front of you, and it wants you to do it. So there's actually nothing spectacular. It's just that times have changed so much, we're so far away from challenges in games, that when a challenge is put in front of us, we give up quickly. As frustrating as it is to lose progress, it's just as satisfying to make it. In fact, "Getting Over It" isn't that hard if you know that, play it calmly, recognize that it's a challenge, and accept its difficulty. But I think it's a good message about the ease of modern games. Apart from FromSoftware productions, do you remember ever having a hard time in a modern game, not being able to pass a level, dying?

    The game, which wants its map and gameplay to be as ridiculous as possible, has achieved this very well, and even though the conversations frustrate you, they actually help you all the time. You can easily understand this when you play it again after you finish, or when you stay calm. The hammer sounds are very nice, the game is very satisfying. And it doesn't actually take that long. It is a production that I liked very much, I definitely recommend it to everyone.    … Expand

    In Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy, while there's a satisfaction in clawing your way through tough obstacles and getting better at beating them the next time around, it's hard to appreciate your progress when it all feels temporary.

I have a strategy for most things that get me through it. If I did it any other way, I would lose. It took me time to get the skill. And if you look at speed runners, they have strategies for it to. And for people saying the controls are bad, its literally played with one control, mouse movement so it’s bound to be a little clunky. A truly great experience. Only one point taken away because of that time I accidentally rode “the snake.”… Expand

    The controls are horrible, your mouse input feels bloated and there is a huge deadzone. Given Bennett Foddy's portfolio, you'd expect that but It doesn't feel intentional like it does in QWOP, It just feels sloppy and annoying. That along with the fact that it looks like a Flash browser game certainly doesn't help.

    This is going to sound a lot like Markiplier, but that is just how much I hate Getting Over It With Bennett Fobbly. It’s so bad that I have no respect whatsoever for the developer.

    I want every last copy of this “game” hunted down and destroyed just like how this game destroyed me when I finally beat it. I urge every person alive to stay as far away from it as humanly possible. Wish it    This is going to sound a lot like Markiplier, but that is just how much I hate Getting Over It With Bennett Fobbly. It’s so bad that I have no respect whatsoever for the developer.

    I want every last copy of this “game” hunted down and destroyed just like how this game destroyed me when I finally beat it. I urge every person alive to stay as far away from it as humanly possible. Wish it only on your worst enemies, and even then, you will be cruel for doing such a harsh thing.

    Why do I hate this “game?” Where do I even begin. For those of you who don’t care, take your biggest pet peeve and multiply it by one million and you basically get a TLDR for this “game.”

    For starters, the controls are awful. No matter your DPI and sensitivity, there is no sweet spot. The sensitivity is always too high or too low. The physics are broken, the hit boxes are weird, and trackpad tuning is the worst, even though it’s one to one.

    Second, Bennett Foddy just won’t shut the heck up. He keeps on babbling on how this “game” isn’t that bad, and keeps telling me BS quotes that I don’t care about.

    The music is garbage and annoying. It gets old and stuck in your head really fast. Only the masochistic will keep music and voiceover volume on.

    And finally is the level of anger you will feel. Even if you get to the very top, trust me when I say that you’re going to fall over and over and over and over. So even if you fall badly at the very top, too bad! You go back behind the tree.

    This “game” is garbage, I hate it, and I don’t know anyone who doesn’t. While it is very charming, it doesn’t make it any less unenjoyable. 0/10, do not recommend wasting your time and money on something so bad. If you do wish to play it, download from a free website so that Bennett Foddy doesn’t make any money from it.    … Expand

    Very simple concept, climb to the top of a mountain. when you first start the game the controls are really weird and it does take some several hours to get somewhat used to how the game works.

    At the same time once I completed it for the first time there was a feeling of accomplishment. Once I completed it the first time the next time was so much easier. There is a hidden easter egg to tribute the game sexy hiking which inspired this game.

    if you are going to play this game be prepared to be frustrated.
    The only real replay value also is if you want to challenge your previous record and a gold pot if you have the patience for 50 complete runs    … Expand

    The only thing that makes this game difficult is its mechanics and map. Even the map is easy. Since the mechanics are like **** it is normal to drop a rage quit by falling 20 times in the same place.

    This game is not hard. It's just poorly designed. It's literally the opposite of fun and good gameplay. The only good things about it are the jokes. There is literally no reason to play the game. If you want to climb a mountain, just play Celeste. It's much more fun

    The climbing mechanics are satisfying, the frustration you’ll have to endure on your road to mastery is sweet, and Foddy’s commentary is intelligent, but mouse controls are physically tiring and need getting used to. [01/2018, p.65]
