As you can imagine then I did have some interest in the Xbox One version and after playing it for a while it’s clear that it does have some enjoyable moments present, but unfortunately it also has a few problems present as well which in the end stop the game from reaching its full potential. That being said at first the game can be really fun and the easy to pick up and play style that’s been implemented means you can jump into the action straight away. At first I did become a little bit addicted but after a short while it’s clear that this game is best enjoyed when played in short bursts because it can get repetetive quite quickly when played for long periods. Another problem the game delivers to you when played for long periods is technical issues. Granted most of the technical issues are quite small and only happen every now and then but when they all combine together it can harm the fun factor quite considerably. Thankfully though I was just about able to look past these issues and when I did I realised that the physics that have been implemented in the game are actually pretty decent. Unfortunately the controls that accompany these physics are not as good. Throughout my time with the game I never really felt truly comfortable with the controls because they never seemed to do what I wanted them to do which did cause me to have quite a few frustrating moments. When the controls did perform well though I did have quite a bit of fun and you’ll be pleased to know that there are a decent amount of maps for you to race and ultimately have an horrific death on. Despite there being quite a few maps available to you as far as content is concerned the game doesn’t have a huge amount for you to get to grips with which means in terms of replayability there isn’t a great deal, which is a shame. One of my favourite things about the game was its presentation. Don’t get me wrong it does lack polish in some areas but in a way I think this made both the visuals and sound design have quite a bit of charm packed into them. At the end of the day Guts and Glory is game that’s perfect to play for a quick 30 minutes here and there because if played for longer the game’s shortcomings become a lot more noticeable. That being said despite its shortcomings it probably just does enough to get a very small recommendation from me.… Expand

    Guts and Glory
    Fun until it’s not
    Guts and Glory is a physics based obstacle course game featuring over 60 different obstacles for you to overcome... At the start of a course you choose your character and your goal is to basically go through all of the checkpoints and get to the end dodging the blades and cannons, basically whatever is being thrown at you... the game is super simple,    Guts and Glory

    the game is super simple, not crazy tricks you have to worry about, it simply is just about going forward and dodging, there are super forgiving checkpoints to stop the game from feeling frustrating and unfair which I appreciate.. And tracks get more challenging as the game goes on
    The thing though is that unless you have green hair and are making $2,000 in ad revenue per 15 minutes of playing this game, you’re going to be over it pretty quickly...
    it just really starts to get dull and numbing after a while..
    It goes from having potential to nothing cool is really being done here... it’s just upping the challenge more so than creating a really cool and challenging experience...
    at least for most of the tracks... there are a couple of cool moments here such as the frogger course.. But for the most part the game just feels more of the same throughout...
    it’s a tug of war between being okay and mediocre
    Theres not much else to say about this game, I was enjoying it and then after a couple of hours I wasn’t anymore… it over stayed its welcome and didn’t do anything for me to remember.
    If you’re into obstacle course games snatch it up, if not... youre not missing out on anything…
    I give Guts and Glory
    a 5.5/10    … Expand

    Guts and Glory is glitchy, it's ugly, the sound is bad, and the gameplay is pretty awful, but it’s fun to play and that was enough for me. If you can snag this game on sale, or as part of Gamepass, I fully recommend giving this game a try one night when you’re in the mood to sip a tasty beverage and show off a silly game to your friends. At its current price of $15 though, I just don’t think there’s enough reason to purchase it, unless you are Pedro with a pickup truck full of nose candy and money to burn.

    You'll have a good time with the Guts and Glory proposal, a ridiculous and intentionally poorly made game, that gets much more fun than other titles and that fulfills what it wants and what it needs.

    I would say if you’re looking for a trial and error game with high difficulty, but rewarding game play, go for Trials over Guts and Glory. You’ll get a few laughs seeing how characters die, but in the end, it becomes frustrating far too quickly.
