ControlsSpelunky is a tough as nails, unforgiving and full of discovery, an unrivaled roguelike platformer that defined its sub-genre. Controls smoothly, looks pretty, wacky sense of humor just like a silly homage to Indiana Jones. It's definitely not one of those games you keep playing for hours on end but it's certainly a one that makes you come back.… Expand

   If you're not used to the genre then Spelunky will probably take some getting used to like it did for me but if you give it a little time itIf you're not used to the genre then Spelunky will probably take some getting used to like it did for me but if you give it a little time it truly grows on you. The game is pretty challenging alone or with friends and the idea is repetitive but the variations of the levels keep it interesting as you don't quite know what you're really getting into for sure. Once you get far, start to run low on health and haven't found the next exit I think is when you will really appreciate what the game is all about.
   Pros:
   -Challenging
   -Multiplayer
   -Surprising level of depth and strategy
   -Great for Share features on PS4
   -Free if you get it with PS+ (Cross buy too)
   Cons:
   -Collecting the money and jewels is great but has little sense of reward… Expand

It's a fun game that reminds me of the original NES games from the early nineties. It's plenty challenging, the dynamic leveldesign is neat. It's fun to play with someone else on the couch next to you (although even more challenging) One thing I don't like about the game: some of the controls are super hard, getting off a ladder is a pain and can be frustrating. Regardless, if the price is right (5-10 bucks) I think this game can be a lot of fun.… Expand

While it is never too late to review a game, it is definitely to lateA fun game that is ultimately an exercise in repetition and frustration. While it is never too late to review a game, it is definitely to late for a review to have an impact on the game. Spelunking 2 is coming soon and I’m sure we will all forget about Spelunky soon enough.
   
   Spelunky is a procedurally generated platforming game. This is a mixed bag. You cannot learn a level and memorize paths. However, each play through is unique and sometimes a level design will have interesting results. After a few hours, the levels seem less unique, and I have little interest in playing the first 4 levels in the mine ever again. There are no secret warp pipes to take you to later levels or save states to replay levels. This is a deliberate design choice to favor a singular type of play that may not be fun for all players.
   
   The mechanics of the game are also hit and miss, literally. The original game may have worked fine on a PC with a wired keyboard and low latency monitor. In a living room on a giant TV with a wireless controller, there is a little too much lag from hitting to the square button and enemies hit by attacks. Or maybe I’m just getting too old and too slow. Either way, the game could be more forgiving and that would make the game more fun.
   
   I can stress enough the sense of futility. My kids were watching me play and thought it was pointless. I told them that this is how all games worked back in the 80s. I didn’t tell them about cheat codes, Game Genie, or how many quarters I would waste. Spelunky has a “this is the game, make of it what you will” feel to it that belies all of the secret areas and hidden end levels. I will likely never see the regular end level because my main goal as a “gamer” is to have as many unique experiences as possible, and I cannot justify spending so much time with one experience.
   
   I will say that the deathmatch mode is incredibly fun and you should definitely break out this game when you have friends over.
   
   Lastly and for full disclosure, Spelunky was a PS+ “free” game from a couple of years ago. I have no interest in “getting my money’s worth” out of it.… Expand
