    Flawless game design and endless replay value mean that Super Meat Boy! more than holds its own on PlayStation in 2015. [Christmas 2015, p73]

    At last! The long-awaited PlayStation release proves that great game design never dies, and now it's even better with Cross-Buy. Fresh hell, hot from the infernal BBQ. [Dec 2015, p.79]

    Super Meat Boy is great as always, both on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita. If you didn’t play previous iterations and you are looking for fast-paced action, great level design and a bunch of old school challenges, this title is definitely a must have.

    Super Meat Boy is an exercise in patience. You may in fact deplore it in the first one or two hours due to its unforgiving gameplay and level design, but if you take the time to consume much of what it has to offer, you may just acquire a taste for it.

    A great platforming game, now on PS4 and PS Vita. Incredibility hard to master and absolutely fun to play, Super Meat Boy is really fun.

    It’s a genuinely good game that, although may already be showing signs of age, is still a blast to play. It was not the first outrageously difficult platform game and certainly won’t be the last, but it definitely stands out on its own as a superb piece of work.

    Indie gaming at its retro-loving best, with some of the most cunningly-designed and purposefully infuriating 2D gameplay ever seen.

If you haven't given this game a try, you should definitely download it now. (The soundtrack is different, and admittedly not as good as the original, but that doesn't take away much from the experience.)… Full Review »

    Excellent game with the exception of the new god awful sound track.
    If you were a fan of the OST skip this game as it's sounds disgusting.    Excellent game with the exception of the new god awful sound track.

    I highly recommend getting the PC or Xbox 360 version, they are superior.
    Looks like the greatness fairly forgot about this game.    … Full Review »
