    This game is very good. it may not be a rage game, but it made me rage, though it is fun and fair. Every loss feels like your own fault and not the game being random like Cat Mario. 10/10

    The controls are definitely the best part of the game. Story is somewhat unintelligible and a bit too minimalist for my tastes but it's obviously not really a game where story is very important, and, well, you do end up wanting to kill the villain, so, there's that. New obstacles are presented rather quickly so the game doesn't bore you as it goes on. Difficulty is at a very pleasant levelThe controls are definitely the best part of the game.

    Thanks to its fast gameplay, it allows you to have a pleasant time. Even if it gets on your nerves sometimes, you play it over and over again thanks to your greed.

    Gameplay is challenging but its not a rage game, visuals are minimalistic but its not pixel art, music is really really good. One of the best platformers outta here.

    This game does everything it sets out to do perfectly. It won't get easier over time, but you'll get better!
    The game's tight controls and unforgiving gameplay make it seem like no fun at first. But once you catch on and feel the first spark of motivation, there is no rest until you beat the level (and start the next one, of course).

    There is so much to do and some things seem impossible at first but it is all doable with enough practice. Few things beat the satisfaction of beating a level after over an hour of tries (and seeing your past failures all at once).
    The developers put a lot of their love of platforming, "motivational punishment" and gaming in general into SMB and it's always a treat to fire it up just to go 30 min on a single level (which there are more than 100 of - twice - with collectibles all over)    … Expand

    a man goes to the doctor. says he's depressed. he says life seems harsh and cruel. says he feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain. the doctor says "the treatment is simple. the great clown pagliacci is in town tonight. go and see him, that should pick you up." the man bursts into tears. he says "but doctor... i am pagliacci."

    Funny meat man is pretty fun to play. I really appreciate how there's never really a huge spike in difficulty and the game just gradually eases you into doing the impossible with ease without you even noticing.

    This is the first indie game I ever played. Hell, it is tough. The first stages are practically a tutorial for the nightmare trial and error that is necessary to face the second stage and so on.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is ten years old and it has not affected it's quality. Super Meat Boy is a tight, difficult and enjoyable platformer which projects a great amount of lift with the fun characters, interesting stages and music that can be repeated and not agitate you. For being a game notorious for rage I found myself having a brilliant time. The raw difficulty and abundance of levels and worlds will make this no short journey, but by the time you have beaten each world and reach the end, you will realise that you have legitimately gotten so much better at the game, then you realise that the dark world exists and you can do it all again. The feeling of beating a level in meat boy is joyous, as you will learn patterns and put in time making victory over any given level with any difficulty extremely rewarding. The game doesn't look bad either, although worlds are usually set to a simple colour pallet and reuse most assets it doesn't change that it makes each world different and distinct from the other. The enemies and have specific movements and actions that you will learn as you go through the experience, usually having a different spin or level of difficulty added to them, e.g. missiles to black maw. The different choices in characters also add a lot more substance to the game, sometimes you want to think about what abilities will be most helpful for a given level, or could even be more difficult with specific abilities not able to be used. The choice for the characters to all be indie definitely got me to check out a couple games, or even smile at there inclusion or ability. The character the game has with the short animated segments at the start and end of each world, and with worp holes, gives it a lot of charm which I find becomes infectious to the player. The game has gotten a lot of love throughout the years, getting an updated soundtrack in 2015 and has procedurally gotten released to all consoles bar the Xbox one, which the game does deserve for it's quality. I can not honestly wait for Forever, whenever that will end up showing up, because I want to see the great and inventive ideas from this gritty platformer portrayed again, and I will definitely enjoy seeing the new spin on the controls. Super Meat Boy is a welcomed challenge with a great range of levels and options to create your own, and I believe still holds up after all this time.… Expand

    Challenging? As hell! Fun? Even more! It's fair and extremely demanding platform game. After few months I made it to the ending credits. My controller died in the process. I've (almost) never felt so much satisfaction after finishing a video game. And after I've found secret level dedicated to Meat Girl, even harder than the final boss, I stopped playing. Someday I'll beat it.

    Super Meat Boy é pelo menos uma base do que todos os jogos de plataforma deveriam ser. Peca somente pela falta de inovação e por ser levemente monótono, mas de resto acerta em praticamente todos os pontos. O que mais me impressiona é como, apesar de tanto tempo depois de lançado, continua sendo atual e com uma qualidade imensa.

    A 2d platformer in the purest sense players control a living slab of meat, known as Meat Boy, as he attempts to rescue his girlfriend Bandage Girl from the evil Dr. Fetus (The story doesn’t make a lot of sense…). The opening levels introduce the control scheme, which essentially amounts to running and jumping, before the game quickly ramps up the difficulty. With instant deaths and no checkpoints this is a game that could easily have become frustrating but the fantastically precise controls, along with the clever level design that is able to constantly surprise and delight, make for an incredibly enjoyable challenge.

    Very few will be able to complete all of the games 300+ levels but don’t let that allow you to miss out on one of the best platformers available today.    … Expand

    Tight controls and really good challenge, but most of it is precision platforming, which can be really frustrating.

    Super meat boy is a very good game. Difficulty, length, story, controls and many more ideas are great for this game. Bosses are never bland and feel great to beat. Very fun game. 10/10
