Jan 18, 2022Not fun whatsoever. Terrible progression system. If you miss like one collectible you have to play the entire world again. Trial and error BS is what Edmund's best at, so if you like that, you'll like this.

Feb 5, 2018Anyone who enjoyed Super Meat Boy is likely to have a good time with The End is Nigh. Both games are very similar, with the latter being a somewhat more mature and thought-provoking platformer. Ed McMillen knows how to make his games hard and addictive and that has not changed here. Sometimes the unrelenting challenge can lead to fatigue, yet at the same time that sensation of being worn out and battered is extremely fitting considering the portentous atmosphere in the later sections. There really is no other talent like McMillen working in the industry. The man crafts simple and easy to pick up games that are extremely difficult, yet at the same time combine sardonic wit, dark humour, and a foreboding solemness.

Aug 23, 2017This game will not become the new Super Meat Boy, but it is an excellent hardcore platformer you will love through hate.
