Bennett Foddy

Simply uttering the name "Bennett Foddy" might be enough to send a few people into relapse, but I assure you, you're in a safe place here, as we all went through the torture that was "riding the snake".

Now if you're to ask me what I truly think of Getting Over It With Bennet Foddy, my brain is going to tell my mouth to say the word "masterpiece" as on paper this game truly is something special. An incredibly tough and frustrating set of controls meeting horrendously cruel level design, this is a title that aims to keep you at arms length at all times.

Or so it seems.

For as you ascend, clawing and scratching your way up the mountains of random objects and finall into space itself, you start to see what this game truly is about.

It's about perseverance, it's about determination, it's about proving to yourself that you can bloody well do this. It's a narrative you create the more you suffer through it. And that is a truly frank and disarming conversation to have with yourself.
