Dec. 2025
Don't let the nature of this game fool you. This isn't a game you play so much as a confession you keep making to yourself until you believe it. At first glance, it's about climbing. Then, it's about precision, and the more you play it, the more it sets in that it's about you, the player. More specifically, your anger, and how it quietly waits for any mistake to justify its existence. The hammer is an extension of your expectations, and expectations, as the game will hammer into you, are brittle. Every fall is a lesson. Gravity argues progress is temporary. The mountain replies that effort is not cumulative, and Bennett Foddy, omnipresent while also absent, speaks like a philosopher who knows the answer but insists you arrive there bleeding. What really makes this game incredible is its lack of handholding or comfort. There's no checkpoints because life does not have checkpoints. There is no forgiveness because the universe does not care about how close you were. The game remembers nothing of your intent, only the position of your failure, or lack thereof. In this way, it is brutally honest. ....and yet, in rare moments where your hands stop shaking and your movements align, you feel something dangerously close to grace. Not joy, grace. A transient harmony between will and reality. It never lasts. You will lose everything in seconds. You will blame everything but yourself, just for you to start back over again because somewhere between frustration and resignation, you accepted the terms of existence.

After playing this game for 30 hours, I decided I had to try it in real life. I entered into the pot, grabbed a hammer, and dragged myself to the balcony (I live on the 8th floor). There, I tried to use the knowledge and skills I'd acquired from the game to jump to my neighbor's balcony on the floor below. Unfortunately, I failed, and I'm writing this review completely paralyzed, but game still is 10/10

Been playing this for a while now. Once you stop trying to be quick, it's rather relaxing: there's no time pressure, no storylines to fail. The only 'punishment' is playing more of the game -- isn't that what we're here for?

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.

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.
