    Disappointed, this dosent go anywhere near as good as the first game. I went into it blind just thinking it was sequel to the first and it was going to be great but when I got met with an auto runner it disappointed me, and for a full 20 dollars? That's a steep price for an auto runner. Some of the level design is impossible the first time through really destroying the game.

Además, el juego sigue siendo retador, no es un juego "fácil", aunque, por desgracia, a diferencia de la primera parte no es por nuestra culpa, pues ahí podíamos tener control de personaje, cosa que aquí no poseemos, haciendo que muchas de las muertes se sientan injustas, pues no poseemos el control del personaje.
    El juego no está mal, si este juego hubiera sido la primera parte de la saga o hubiera salido con otro nombre o como un spin-off, hubiera sido un buen juego. El problema es que porta a sus espaldas la primera parte, un juego con fallos, si, también un juego más antiguo, pero un juego excelente, lo cual este juego no es.
    Este juego debería haber sido anunciado como lo que es o lo que debería haber sido. Un juego para móvil, que es lo que es, muy bueno si, pero un juego de móvil no es lo que dijeron que iban a hacer.    … Expand

    So, this game. It's very fun, and I kinda enjoyed it. I fell like i'm one of the only people in the world who actually likes auto-runners, and to be honest, I think this is the best of them! However, with that being said, this game IS a sequel, so it's fair to compare it to it's predecessor, and that's where the fun stops. The first game is SO MUCH better, simply because it is a fullSo, this game. It's very fun, and I kinda enjoyed it.

The first game is SO MUCH better, simply because it is a full platformer. Auto-runners are literally lesser versions of platformers, it feels one-dimensional. I really just don't get it why they didn't add the new game mechanics they introduced in the later worlds + the old gameplay style + this AMAZING presentation quality. It would have been a MASSIVE hit, and I think it was dumb for them to change something that was far from broken.… Expand

    Updating review because on mobile I was led to believe this was 0-5.

    Everything about this game is incredible, except the fact that it's an endless runner. I knew it was an endless runner when I bought the game but I thought I could get over it. Not sure I can. It's very well done and a great challenge. The story seems to be pretty good and is funny. The cut scenes are great as well.    Updating review because on mobile I was led to believe this was 0-5.

It's very well done and a great challenge. The story seems to be pretty good and is funny. The cut scenes are great as well.

    But the endless runner bit... not being able to control my movement makes this feel more like a very refined mobile game. Perhaps I just need to get better at the game, and don't realize how much I suck but it seems like it's more of about good timing than skill. Although I suppose that could be considered a skill.

    I'll keep playing it and hope that I get used to the endless runner aspect.

    I will add that I truly believe anyone giving this game 0-5 is really doing a disservice to the game. Sure it's a runner, sure I don't like that, but the gameplay is tight, the platforming is a legit challenge, the animations are very good and also humorous. Runner's aren't for me, but as someone who hates runners I'm comfortable saying this is a great game. If you like runners buy it, and if you don't it's at least worth a try. Im gonna beat it, but im not gonna 100% it or replay it.    … Expand

    Destroyed expectations, different from the original, controls are annoying at first
    But has varied gameplay, high replayability, still challenging, nice bosses, good level-design.
    At first, I didn't like it, then I liked it very much.

    It’s not a bad game and getting to the finish line is really satisfying. Yeah, it’s an “autorunner” but a real good autorunner.

    expected a successor to meatboy, but found this auto-runner instead.

    Im a bit disappointed, for an auto-runner its just a mediocre game at best, nothing special.

    Maybe it would have did well if they did more if they can. Good game, but it disappoints a lot because the 1st game was great.

    The problem with the new Super Meat Boy is that it’s not the old Super Meat Boy. We have waited a decade for the sequel and it turned out to be an autorunner, which is not necessarily a welcome surprise. Two buttons is all you need, which makes CMBF very easy to grasp, but limited control over the protagonist can be maddening, especially that the game is even harder than the original. Having said that, the developers managed to squeeze a lot out of the simplified control scheme, and while I understand the game disappointed many fans, I still recommend it to those of you looking for a serious challenge.

    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 feels completely overtaken by time. The game is inferior to its predecessor in every way. The biggest problem is the fact that an autorunner like Forever leaves much less control to the player. The levels and bosses in Super Meat Boy Forever are therefore more annoying and frustrating than fun and challenging.
