(I originally wrote this review just after I beat the game my first run. As of now, I've beaten the game about 8 times and am shooting for So Over It.) It's late September of 2025. I just beat this for the first time as I write this review. Whoo boy, the things I have to say about this game. Let me start this review off by stating this--- Getting Over It is not fun. At least, not for the average player. The controls are jank and hard to get used to. You could be at the top, or finally make forward progress, but then suddenly, you accidentally move your hammer an inch, and, before you know it, you're all the way back to where you were before. It'll enrage you. It'll make you yell, ragequit, slam your desk, possibly even break something. It's harsh, unforgiving, and the voice can feel like it's mocking your failures at times. So, why am I even recommending this, you ask? I'll tell you one thing. This game is art. And I mean that from the bottom of my heart I'd say it's one of, if not the most impactful video game I've ever played. The absolute tsunami of emotions I got from finally climbing to the top can't, and most likely won't, be replicated by any other game. While you saw the YouTubers and streamers dismiss Bennett's voiceover back when this game was popular, before the masses dismissed the game entirely as "trash" (as in the way Bennett describes it in the game) before playing or watching the new games, new memes, and new trends that come out and get their 15 minutes of fame before inevitably fading into obscurity. If you actually listen to the voiceover, Bennett has a lot to say about the gaming industry, about both games and players, things that I think still hold up today. But aside from that, there's a way bigger, overall message in this game. One that can be applied to just about any challenge in life. One that'll stick with me for a while, I think. If you couldn't tell already, I fell countless times. But despite every fall, I felt compelled to raise my hammer and get back up, which I did. Every time. That's the only way you can really even beat this game. Through sheer perseverance and determination, I got to the top. And boy, was it euphoric. I don't really know why I did it. I could've done literally anything else with my time. Maybe it was the challenge. The struggle to the summit. Maybe it was out of spite, maybe I just did it for the love of the game. But I beat it. It took me around 7 hours, but I did it. I never write reviews this long. Usually it's just a short, brainless comment or a silly little joke. That's what I was gonna do originally for this review. But I felt it deserved more. It deserved a review this long. Getting Over It is more than just a rage game, and I will die on that hill. This game is timeless. It will forever hold a special place in my heart and my steam library. Thank you, Bennett Foddy. It was a pleasure getting over it with you. Sincerely, Vanith

Getting Over It — you either uninstall in 15 minutes or lose 6 hours of your life in complete silence and emotional collapse. I did both. This game isn’t here to make you feel good. It’s here to break you — slowly, piece by piece — with a hammer, a pot, and gravity as your only friends. You fall? Too bad. You scream? It mocks you with quotes. You make progress? You get scared to breathe. And yet… it’s kind of genius. The controls are trash on purpose. The design is unfair by design. It’s a test of how long your soul can hold out before the uninstall button calls your name. I beat it eventually. Was it worth it? No idea. But I can’t forget it — and that says something. Final thoughts: Getting Over It isn’t fun. It’s personal. It’s punishment disguised as a video game. And if you finish it? You won. Not just the game — against yourself. 8/10 Horrible in the best way. Unforgiving. Unfair. Unforgettable.

honestly. this game was my zen game for the longest time. in a very stressful time of my life i remember booting this game up and just playing through it, time and time again. the music, narration, and clanking of the hammer against whatever i was throwing my mouse at was really comforting. it showed me the strength of perseverance and patience in a way that nothing else did at the time. i'm really glad that i took the opportunity to slow my life down and reflect with this game and i absolutely recommend it to people.

Good game. When they are old enough, this will be the first game my children play. They will not be allowed to play any other game, until they beat this one.

This game puzzles me. It puzzles me because I do not feel anger when I play it. Not once in my experience with this game have I ever felt like destroying something because I failed to accomplish something. I think it is because I have grown up watching streamers and Youtubers play this game, and feel immense anger. I've seen Markiplier throw his mouse at his wall, and this thought has never crossed my mind. On my first playthrough of this game, I was stuck at the orange part, after the furniture. I tried and I tried my hardest to climb those rocks and kept failing, but not once did I feel hatred towards the games developer. It was only when I reached the end that I truly felt "anger", not because the ending section was hard, but because I had been told in every conversation and review relating to this game, it had been described as infuriating and rage inducing. And yet I felt nothing. As of the time when I am writing this review, I have completed this game 20 times. And every time I come back to it, I feel as if I am a blind man staring at Michelangelo's David, unable to see its beauty and magnificence. Because this game is art, all games are art, but some games are modern art, just throwing things around with no rhyme or reason with people saying there's a meaning, or that the beauty is that there is no meaning. This is not one of those games, it is more akin to the works of Picasso, in that it's meaning is more abstract than anything. And yet whenever I play it and feel nothing, I do feel that I am spitting on his work. As I write this, I am reminded of something Bennet Foddy says when you reach the chimney, where he describes the process of creating this game, and says that his inability to surpass the obstacles he has made is his fault as a player, rather than a developer. I feel similar in that respect, because everyone else seems to feel intense anger and rage when playing this, and yet I do not. My inability to feel anger while playing this game is not his fault, as the developer, but mine, as the player. It is my fault. I am blind, while everyone else can see. This game is truly a work of art, but it is one I cannot truly appreciate, and in this respect I feel remorse, remorse that I will never be able to see this game as so many others have, as Bennet has intended for me to see it. Perhaps I shall one day understand why, but for now, I remain unenlightened.
