Mar 31, 2026Super Meat Boy 3D is a thrillingly apt interpretation of the original Super Meat Boy. Those who loved Meat Boy’s squelching, sticky jumps in 2D would be hard-pressed not to fall in love with the same brutal execution in 3D. While some precision and legibility gets lost in translation to varying degrees of success, the wealth of content and homage is retained. Team Meat’s reverence for the genre is unmatched and I can’t wait to keep exploding in a hail of meat for years to come.

Apr 8, 2026Super Meat Boy 3D is a reminder of why platforming games are so special, and above all, of how important it is to preserve classic genres in their purest form. Team Meat and Sluggerfly have delivered one of the most addictive games of the year, successfully allowing the iconic series that pioneered the indie scene to transition into three dimensions without losing its essence in the process. Thanks to its finely tuned controls, high difficulty, excellent level design, and overall solid execution, we believe this is one of those must-play titles for anyone who loves platforming.

Apr 9, 2026Super Meat Boy 3D marks a triumphant return for the little, battered meat-and-bone man. It’s a game that’s just as brutal as we expected – in some cases even too much so, due to a few shortcomings in the level design and perspective. Despite this, it’s a spectacular game: get ready to break a few controllers, because your patience will be put to the test right from the very first levels.

Apr 9, 2026Super Meat Boy 3D is much more than just a 3D retelling of a beloved title; it’s an exercise of mastery of platforming design, made in the image of a cube. Though far from accessible (despite its best efforts) and still somewhat similar to its predecessor, the inclusion of Dark World Levels and the design space opened by an entire new dimension of space gives it a platform to stand on. Best you load up on controllers, because Meat Boy’s back on the menu.

Apr 26, 2026Super Meat Boy 3D captures the ruthless precision of the original while adding a polished visual layer. However, the transition to 3D introduces frustrating perspective issues and a fixed camera that complicates depth perception. Despite uninspired boss battles, the addictive difficulty and extensive replayability sustain a worthwhile, yet ultimately less perfect, platforming experience.

Apr 9, 2026Super Meat Boy 3D manages to be an excellent new entry for those who want to start with the franchise. The cutscenes are beautiful, there's freedom to complete the levels in any order, and the kingdoms are so frantic and fun that, even after failing countless times, the experience remains engaging.

Apr 2, 2026Super Meat Boy in 3D seems to be an inherently flawed concept and while this does its best to make navigating the third dimension feasible, the end result feels frustratingly imprecise.
