    I don't know how can you take something good and well established and then made it bad. I can't even. The legendary platformer is not pretty much a Flappy Bird >_>

    However, this does NOT resemble the original, for worse. The switch over to auto-run was a big back step for the series, resulting in a game that feels like you are simply trying to follow an intended path, rather than having control and choice in how to approach a level. The levels themselves are generated on a per chunk basis, meaning the levels are longer, but can be far more droll, repetitive, and nonsensical. On the more positive side, the controls and responsiveness are tight, the cut-scenes and music are fantastic, and some of the intuitive level mechanics are very interesting and fun, as well as there being a lot of them. Unfortunately, the unlockables are sub par, the bosses are fun but limited, and the levels do not feel like individual levels, but rather stacks of shiny scraps taped together to form a messy whole. This leaves the experience feeling very empty after a quick play through, and the desire to race the clock just wasn't there for me. If you are a fan of minimal button, mobile-like games for everyone, then the very reasonable price tag will make it worth it for a few hours of fun. But for the hardcore gamers out there looking for something unique like the original Super Meat Boy, this just isn't it.    … Expand

    I am disappointed. Coming from the original SMB, I was a bit surprised by the choice of making this an autorunner where the gameplay is tuned down to pressing two different buttons (you could that on a mobile device such as a smartphone as well).

Coming from the original SMB, I was a bit surprised by the choice of making this an autorunner where the gameplay is tuned down to pressing two different buttons (you could that on a mobile device such as a smartphone as well). This turns the whole gameplay into just a boring timing reaction game instead of giving you, as the player, some opportunity to make up for bad moves or try to improvise with unusual ideas. It feels such as you are never actually in control, just trying with trial-and-error to get through the world as some player who is there for some ingame character you cannot identify with as you got no real control.

    The fact that the levels are now semi-autogenerated is something which I also strongly dislike as there can be parts where even after a lot of trying no really good way can be found to master it, and the game does not give you any hints by the level design, which was also much better solved in the first game in my eyes. There I had the feeling that I just knew what I was doing wrong and now needed to figure out how to make it better. In SMB Forever I just feel like I am doing something wrong which I cannot say what I am doing incorrectly, just that I am. It is so annoying and not in a good way where you want to get better, but in a way where you want to get a refund. Or to make it short: The difficulty balancing is off, way off on what it should be.

    What I do like is the fair price point of about 16€ (Austria) in case you can enjoy the day (I don't/didn't), the overall art style and how the gameplay feels (i.e. very smooth frame times, good reactions to inputs).    … Expand

    In Super Meat Boy you're rarely not running so it doesn't seem so bad, but it's worse than it seems because you usually can't turn around without walljumping. Combined with the reasonably high level of difficulty this is incredibly frustrating.

    I don't necessarily think Super Meat Boy Forever is a bad game. I think it's a polished average game.
    What I don't understand is why they had to make the game an autorunner. If the only reason is to make it successful in the mobile community, I believe they've made a huge mistake. Now that the released game doesn't come across as very good, the mobile community won't even hear about it. I consider it a massive failure.
    Sure, now it's different from the first game, but it didn't have to be. People obviously liked it, so why change it in a way that's going to change everything people liked about it?
    They should have made this a spin-off title, like Super Mario Run for example and additionally, with more effort put into it, they should have made an even more challenging version of Super Meat Boy, polished it a little bit and call it Super Meat Boy 2 or Super Bandage Girl or something along those lines instead.
    Now that I've beaten the game, I don't feel the same replay value that I've felt after beating the first game, which is a tragedy in itself, as this game has generated levels and would in theory have an even greater replay value.
    What's bugging me most apart from the autorunner mechanic, is that the game feels like they've put a lot of effort into it, but it didn't work out in the end.
    To all the people still considering to buy this game, hoping it will still feel like the first Super Meat Boy: I wouldn't recommend buying or playing it, as I've had way more fun with other autorunners like Bit Trip Runner.    … Expand

    I believe it was a mistake to evolve this game so ambitiously. As a simple autorunner in its early development, it could have been a fun spinoff. But it should never have had a large dev time or many artists working towards it. The budget, time, animation, story, are all excessive and it doesn't feel like a small little team produced this anymore. Feels disjointed. The whole product and presentation feels odd. Like too much money thrown at something with an inherently weak or limited core.

    I didn't enjoy the puzzle elements of level design. The trial and error required is far too great. Level chunks with checkpoints feel bizarre for meat boy and you just chip away until you compete a level. Again, everything feels hollow. I never felt clever for completing the puzzles in the later worlds. (4th and 5th world's). I just wanted more control of meat boy.

    I have played other auto runners like Mario Run and bit trip runner that I enjoyed more.

    Sadly the designers made the early game way too hard. That was another mistake. It seems lazy to make the whole game hard. I believe the number of levels is too large so quality control is not up to standard.

    Bosses were very pattern oriented. I felt no freedom to try new routes. Everything in the boss fights seemed trial and error until you solve and memorise puzzle then it's just grind until done. It's never exciting. This is clearly how project was designed but it's not fun.

    I will continue to play this to try and find some fun, but I just can't find my flow after 10 hours. Very sad to say the least.    … Expand

    This game is clearly "a horse designed by a committee". What could have been a wonderful addition to the series clearly had too many hands in the pot.
    It feels like a mobile game ported to consoles. Ina painful way. I think I could enjoy this on mobile. But not my PC or Switch.
    Random level design also really misses the point as well. SMB had really well designed levels. This is a hodgepodge.

It fails to do so, and it definitely feels like it was dumbed down. The game feels insulting to play with how much movement they took away from you. Again, THEY ADVERTISE THIS GAME AS A SEQUEL.

But the real Meat, as before, should be in the gameplay.

    For those unaware, SMBF creates levels based on designed chunks, these parts each reminiscent of the original Super Meat Boy. For this reason, parts of each level feel like the original, with the requisite difficulty you've come to expect. But the use of these chunks in world building has a couple problems; the algorithm they use for construction is allegedly tailored to your experience, which means if you enjoy higher difficulties but aren't as good, you're forced to restart your save file and just play consistently better. This also means if you do choose to restart, you're still going to encounter some of the same level 'pieces', which makes it feel a lot less fresh on a new world.

    The levels are also longer with built-in checkpoints, which means that going for better scores is now a slog; you have no option to restart a level (other than going back to the map), and sometimes collectibles will randomly spawn at the end, meaning if you 'miss' a single jump and pass the checkpoint you have to restart from the beginning (after watching the now-unskippable end animation). Bear in mind that the story mode itself is really short, so a lot of the content you'll experience will be in replay, as the devs intended, or the Dark World, which are harder versions of the regular stages like in the original. But some of the Dark World difficulty is this time artificial. They're inexplicably triple the length of a regular stage - which removes the satisfaction of completing a tough chunk, as you need complete 9 more before the game saves your progress and there's no indication of whether the next will be easier or harder. It turns Dark World stages from a fun test of mechanics to an exercise in attrition fast. There's a reason the toughest levels (the Warp Zones) in the original were, at most, 3 stages long. To boot, each Dark World stage unlock is still tied to obtaining a good score in its Light World counterpart; bringing me back to my first point.

    Bosses are also a lot more grating in this version. While in the original they felt like a 'reward' for reaching the end of a stage, the general design of staged bosses doesn't translate well to the autorunner format - annoyingly since these are the only static levels, and thus should have had the most polish to them. They also introduce button mashing to the series. And for a final gameplay aspect, they removed the unique mechanics from unlockable characters (except for one joke character), instead making them all reskins; reskins as rewards for completion, which the game encourages, and, to segue back to design; about 2/3rds of which are just Meat Boy and Bandage Girl in different costumes instead of actual new characters. As well, while the general art feels more polished and the cutscenes are certainly cleaner and well-animated, the longer level design means fewer levels per world and fewer worlds in total. For those that enjoyed the variation in the original's archetypes this comes off slightly disappointing. Not to mention as well that the music style isn't too good at capturing the same themes as the original - light country music for the first chapter, which again thanks to checkpoints is going to involve a lot more death than your standard tutorial level. This means the themes are negligible at best and grating at worst.

    While it is somewhat entertaining, it isn't for the same reasons as the original. The precision and tight controls carry over, but the level design suffers for its gimmick and the procedural generation, ironically, wounds its replayability.    … Expand

Due to the game having randomly generated levels sometimes you could be hit with sudden difficulty spikes which can get frustrating. The change from a proper platformer to an endless runner gives the player way less ways to beat levels which means you cant be as experimental as the original game and do insane shortcuts with the insanely fast physics but aside from these two issues everything else about this game is perfect. The chunks are well designed and challenging, the art and animation for this game is amazing, the bosses are an insane improvement from the original game and the extra content the game has along with the level generator gives this game insane replay value.

Would’ve liked to have seen some more worlds and boss fights however, but it’s refreshing to play through new levels every play through, even if I would’ve preferred more memorable handmade levels instead. The music also isn’t as good as the original game but gets the job done. Despite all this, I’ve already clocked more hours intoA brave sequel that dares to change its classic formula.

The music also isn’t as good as the original game but gets the job done. Despite all this, I’ve already clocked more hours into this game than the first one so don’t make the mistake of thinking this is just a mobile auto runner because its much deeper than that and feels like a good evolution to avoid the lazy sequel habits, even if I very much believe if it’s not broken don’t fix it.… Expand

    The idea of a randomly generated auto-runner just seems at odds with the legacy of Meat Boy itself. [Issue #51 – March/April 2021, p. 30]

    Super Meat Boy Forever is no doubt going to be a controversial game, especially among Super Meat Boy purists. But its new ideas bring a world of new possibilities for precision platforming challenges and sheer level design creativity. Dying over and over again in an effort to master the precise jumps and perfect timing each level demands rarely feels as good as it does in Super Meat Boy Forever.

    Super Meat Boy Forever is a sequel not afraid to shake things up, but in doing so it fails to capture much of what made the original so amazing.
