Reviews:
  • Ever since Super Meat Boy hit the indie scene developers have been scrambling to recapture the addicting and aggravating qualities that can make almost constant failure and punishment engaging. Never Give Up is very much in that general mold, making you use your somewhat limited platforming abilities to nimble jump over, around, and through tons of very nasty traps that will leave your body a bloody mess. Thankfully your lives are unlimited and there’s next to no delay from the time you bite it yet again to being thrown right back into the meat grinder. What stands out for this title is its smart and progressive layering of difficulty. You’ll always start with a relatively simple and light area that you can likely get through without a scratch. However, each time you reach your goal the game will then present you with a tougher and more elaborate version of that same general room, forcing you to take on more and more to reach the goal. Muscle memory is a big part of the experience, and for the most part it all plays fine, just I’ll admit there are times when the controls didn’t quite feel as responsive as I would have liked given the stakes and quick deaths in the game.
