    Fun, fast and funny. A great game for short blasts. The graphics are nothing special, but the style and funny quips from your banana friend more than make up for it. The music is great though and the game has a gentle learning curve. Perfect for just one more go.

    Un Shooter plataformero que bebe de Hotline Miami tanto en mecánicas como en banda sonora.Presenta unos escenarios muy vacíos y se hace un poco repetitivo en la recta final pero te enganchara y no podrás soltar el mando.

    Interesting take on the 2D platformer genre. Genuinely enjoyed playing through the levels as it offered appropriate levels of challenge to keep it interesting but still enjoyable.

    My Friend Pedro is an incredibly polished and fair game. The graphical style is unique, the gameplay is extremely enjoyable. There was only one part of the game that I felt frustrating, this was on one of the last levels so it wasn't off-putting. I would rate 9 out of 10,one of my favourite games all year.

    Buen juego de acción plataformero. Duración corta pero el juego es bastante rejugable.
    Buena intensidad, niveles cortitos.

    Esse jogo é muito bom, um excelente plataforma 2D, um jogo cômico com uma banana muito carismática

    Gostei do jogo. Achei bem doido. O final com o ir... foi um pouco complicado, mas a jogabilidade é maneiro. Nada de especial. Bem rápido as fazes. GT:WilliamHaole

    My Friend Pedro is a hilarious sadistic and violent comedy. If you are looking for a fast pace and short breath game to laugh at, then this is your pick up

    An arcade game that will give you a great experience if you go into it knowing exactly what to expect.

    The gameplay here is great. All the mechanics work well and are fun to use, especially slowing down time—that makes the game. There are also lots of fun little details that give the game a really distinct personality and flavor, like the emoji-ed banana poking his head out on the side of the screen when you kill an enemy in a flippy way. Loved that.

    Plus, the platforming elements turned the game into a playground. I never knew I needed a shooter to be a ninja platformer, but I know now, and I loved it. The music added a lot to this feel—I really enjoyed the electronic, bumpin feel.

    But if you’re looking for story, don’t look here. That isn’t what this game is for.

    This game is best enjoyed after a few beers with buddies, shouting as loud as you can when somebody makes a great kill. In that context, it’s unparalleled.

    And in that sense, I’m actually taking off both of the points I am because of what’s missing, rather than what’s here. I feel like the devs would have been well served to ditch the story mode as the main focus and instead introduce local multiplayer. What I have in mind are things like a plain exhibition mode (similar to the boss fight at the end of the campaign), a capture the flag mode, a king of the hill mode, etc. These things would have bumped this banana game up to a 10 out of 10 and probably gotten it its own dedicated following in the Reddit community, but as it is now, it’s a fun little four-hour diversion.

    Still, a really fun game to shout at, and one I recommend.    … Expand

    Rápido, divertido, frenético, as fases são criativas, as musicas te deixam envolvido no jogo, o humor é sádico e incrível, tem um plot twist muito bom. É meu jogo favorito da Devolver Digital

    Extremely unique game. An interesting variant of the platformer game. The story is unfortunately short, but fun and funny enough.

    SRB:
    Izuzetno unikatna igra. Zanimljiva varijanta platformer igrice. Priča je nažalost kratka, ali dovoljno zabavna i smešna.

    Played on Xbox Series S in Game Pass, perfect game with action packed gameplay. So, I decided to buy it. Thanks developers for this awesome experience! I love this game!

    One of the most enjoyable and fun games ever!
    I recommend the My Friend Pedro experience to everyone. The only downsides of the game is the low variety of weapons and low replay value.

    What My Friend Pedro does really well is offer a sense of variety in the weapons, the ways you can kill and the level design. While some missions may be more fun than others, no level is quite the same as the last. This makes every new encounter feel fresh and exciting. The ability to tackle each battle in a multitude of different ways means you’ll find yourself returning time and time again to see how much better you can clear them and achieve a higher final score.

    Like a popcorn popping Hollywood blockbuster, My Friend Pedro offers a bullet-bonanza ballet that’s hard to ignore thanks to its slick moves, combining a great sense of fast food action gameplay that escalates in challenge as you grow accustomed to the many flourishes it adds throughout. Regrettably the characterisation and story falls short, but in all likelihood these fundamentals won’t matter if you’re looking for an action-packed thrill ride, and boy does My Friend Pedro offer that in spades. If you demand something more in-depth or intricate you won’t find it here, but everyone else will find that My Friend Pedro scratches an impulsive itch that’s able to impress with its penchant for grace and unabashed style.

    My Friend Pedro on Xbox One is a gloriously violent, silly and, ultimately, fun game. Because the experience is so short it doesn’t give itself time to become irrelevant or boring, and so we are gifted this little gem of fun that can just be enjoyed.
