You are given a single screen with the goal in plain view and its down to you to navigate the landscape while avoiding the enemies that inhabit this world using nothing more than a jump button and the movement keys. And while I feel that the vast vast majority of people will never fully 'complete' this game, there is still more than enough content at an assessable, more casual level that anyone with an interest in platformers will get their $20 dollars worth out of. Personally speaking, at the time of this writing I have over 40 hours invested into this game and I'm still no where near full completion of this game.

    The only downside to this game is a lack of online multiplayer (couch only) which is honestly not a huge deal given that as this game is a game that relies on precision, I could only imagine that even the smallest amounts of lag on the best network connections available in this world would still render this game a frustrating experience. If you can get a friend together in the same house the multiplayer stuff that is there just adds to the already extraordinary amount of content that there is.

    Are there better platformers available? Possibly, depending on your tastes. But if you are looking for a game that strips away the genre to its bare essentials I find it difficult to imagine there will ever be a game better at that then N++.    … Expand

    A classic precision platformer from the Flash days returns with an incredible new soundtrack, colorful themes, and thousands of new levels.

    Although it's unfortunate that the Co-Op and Race levels are local-only, the Solo high quality and depth make this a excellent purchase even without the two additional modes.

    The king of all platformers has returned to provide the most butt-clenching experience we'll ever have.

It's not like Dark Souls, Ninja Gaiden or Ghosts and Goblins - it's much, much harder, so if you dare to challenge the impossible, you should be prepared. I recommend N++ for everyone struggling for difficult and challenging games. Also, if you have some friends near you, a 4-player party is something you don't want to miss. An absolute must-have, perfectly crafted.… Expand

    Masterful level design, ultra clean and ultra smooth graphics and a brilliant soundtrack. Oodles of levels, 4 player coop, level editor.
    Great all round. Equal parts frustration and fun. The best platformer you can get for the Ps4.

    It's an excellent hardcore platforming with very smooth controls and a lot of content. In that genre, i personnally prefer Super Meat Boy, but N++ is very challenging and pretty good.

    It was a long wait for those of us that enjoyed the old N, for PC. The gameplay is no different but everything else has improved. On the one hand, you feel that you know this game and on the other, it is completely new. It is a fantastic achievement, full of colour and new levels that are both challenging and fun. 9/10

    A beautiful, unique and stylish platformer for all platformer lovers. Amazing gameplay with superb physics, artistic visuals, nice musics and LOTS of levels that take many hours to complete. If you want a challenging experience, you must play this treasure!

    Brilliant, tough and ingenious.

    Great soundtrack, plenty of variety and it is addictive. I'm surprised that some people are not liking this, but for me, this is just perfect.

    What is not to like about super jumping, flying ninja sprites to the tune of an absolute colossal synth wave/electro/chip tune soundtrack!? Insanely difficult toward the end but just about manageable for 90% of the game. If you liked the first one, then you will love this update. Art.

    Reviewers are really stupid. That's the main thing I've learned from N++. Just kidding. Only about the second part. Although reviewers don't know what an indie game is and only purchase games for multiplayer functionality, N++ is an outstanding game. Really; I can't believe people can be so blind to the world. Multiplayer was an add-on to the main meat of the game, the single player. AndReviewers are really stupid. That's the main thing I've learned from N++. Just kidding. Only about the second part. Although reviewers don't know what an indie game is and only purchase games for multiplayer functionality, N++ is an outstanding game. Really; I can't believe people can be so blind to the world. Multiplayer was an add-on to the main meat of the game, the single player. And don't take that as a bad thing; the co-op and race levels are ingeniously designed, providing a great couch experience. For everyone who is oblivious to how game development works, Metanet Software couldn't afford online. Instead, they spent their money on an awesome techno soundtrack that helps players such as myself groove along to the gripping, tough-as-nails platforming, as well as everything else I will mention here. The controls of N++ are super smooth, and the way you handle N (and the way N handles edges; I mean, wow!) helps the controller disappear, leaving only the player, and the perfect platformer. The many choices of color theme are beautifully constructed, and they paint the many enemies and obstacles extraordinarily. This game is a **** masterpiece, and if you disagree just because there's no online, then you don't deserve this minimalistic but oh so complex work of art.… Expand

    Metanet once described N++ as being a game they hoped would be so refined and so complete that “there’s no need to make another one.” We’re inclined to agree.
