Team Meat

Just like many things in life, Super Meat Boy is best to be dealt with in small doses, as you€™ll likely become consumed with rage after attempting to plough through its blisteringly difficult NES-inspired gameplay.

Players take control of the titular Meat Boy, a running, jumping cube of meat that is desperate to save his sweetheart Bandage Girl from the hands of her kidnapper Doctor Fetus. Sounds pretty absurd, but the game€™s quirky humour makes for a memorable story that is able to give Meat Boy€™s suicidal efforts a sense of purpose.

Team Meat

From the fiery depths of hell to the murderous hospital and beyond the game€™s seven chapters all have their own personality and present a new set of obstacles every time. The sense of reward gained from scaling one of Super Meat Boy€™s trap-filled stages unharmed is unrivalled and incredibly addictive. After reaching your goal following a series of failures, you are greeted with a replay of all your previous efforts, a reminder that all the pain and frustration has finally paid off.
