10 Awesome 2019 Video Games You Can Beat In One Sitting
2. My Friend Pedro
Most games are made to make you feel certain emotions. The Last Of Us will rip your heart out, Disco Elysium will make you spiral into existential misery.
My Friend Pedro has one feeling in mind: Badass.
Whereas Katana Zero makes you think more tactically about how you approach a section, My Friend Pedro embraces anarchy with open arms and lets players wield its destructive power. The game's levels flow into one another with the aim of keeping that multiplier as high as possible. This means taking the most explosive and imaginative route possible.
My Friend Pedro's use of bullet-time isn't groundbreaking or innovative, but it is astonishing. Moments flipping through the air, duel wielding uzi's in slow motion whilst ricocheting bullets into enemies all around you makes you feel like a Wuxia legend crossed with John Wick.
The use of a health bar rather than instant-death gives players a bit more flexibility to run in headfirst and see what they find. What that creates are dynamic levels that ebb and flow from roundhouse kicking knives to pushing barrels onto unsuspecting goons. Epic.
