#MY FRIEND PEDRO SWITCH REVIEW FULL#

If youвЂ™re a patient player who likes killstreaks, points, and stylish gameplay, you might like this a lot. My Friend Pedro seems like the kind of game that either clicks with you or it doesnвЂ™t. There isnвЂ™t a ton of story before the end of the game, and all you really need to know is, вЂњan imaginary banana convinces you to kill stylishly.вЂќ To offset the repetition is a multiplier-driven scoring system that rewards creative play, but I didnвЂ™t feel overly compelled to engage with it beyond, вЂњI killed 9 enemies! Cool!вЂќ As for the story, which has its moments, it probably wonвЂ™t be enough to carry you through the game either. ThereвЂ™s a lot of the game that can be solved with вЂњturn on slow motion, shoot dudes, and use your invincible spinning move.вЂќ The game does try to mix it up using stages that are about solving more traditional puzzles, like lasers you have to jump through using platforming rather than guns, but these kinds of levels, which especially show up in the back half of the game, are hit-or-miss. Its designed to be played and replayed in perpetuity, with the aim. After the game starts to feel better to play, thatвЂ™s when My Friend Pedro starts to get a little more repetitive. My Friend Pedro is a crazy, violent, and sometimes downright weird score-attack title. The controls taking half of the several-hour game to feel good is not the only issue I have. The guns feel pretty good too-a lot like what I imagine Hotline Miami would feel like as a sidescroller. A great example is when you bounce bullets off a frying pan in the air to kill enemies in all directions.

I especially like using the environment to kill enemies. While itвЂ™s not exactly a puzzle game, the best encounters in the game feel like youвЂ™re completing a puzzle. It (eventually) felt good to make a plan, run into the room, and carefully execute each acrobatic massacre. Once I got used to the controls, I had significantly more fun with the gameplay. Nothing felt right to me, and as a result, the first half consisted of me running into a room, slowing down time, spamming my invincibility spin, shooting dudes, and moving on to the next area. While itвЂ™s hard to picture what IвЂ™m talking about from just button inputs alone, the controls felt hard to work with for, IвЂ™d say, the first half of the game. Shooting guns happens with ZR, clicking in the left analog stick controls slow motion, L controls a spinning move where youвЂ™re temporarily invincible, ZL controls aim and/or secondary fire depending on the gun, and the kick is mapped to X. My initial answer was a solid вЂњno.вЂќ Before I got good, the controls felt very cumbersome. Trailers showing off the game make it look beautiful, but there was a question nagging me: Would it actually feel good to play? You are some kind of masked, silent assassin who awakens with a bad.

ItвЂ™s a sidescroller where you, with a full set of guns, kill your enemies using acrobatics, slow motion, and the environment around you. The game doesnt have a clear plot from the beginning, but it gets better as time goes on. My Friend Pedro, on paper, is super cool.
