I can't believe it took me this long to get around to The End Is Nigh. What a fantastic precision platformer with the perfect amount of challenge. The level design in this game is just fantastic and I love the little squishy noises of the protagonist as he flings himself through the decrepit wasteland of his world, his shenanigans and deaths set to some great energetic music by Ridiculon. And best of all - this game really respects your time, unlike its spiritual predecessor Super Meat Boy, with no annoying time-wasting bosses and a lightning fast respawn after death. I really hope Edmund makes another platformer in his career because this and SMB are pretty much the best in the genre.

Basically everything you could hope for in a precision platformer including nice humor and an amazing soundtrack. The difficulty ramps up pretty quick and no air-dashs or double-jumps might be off-putting to some

I need to play it more! As a spiritual successor to Super Meat Boy, I think it very much succeeds. I like it a lot, stylistically and gameplay-wise! It is, unsurprisingly, difficult. But like, in a satisfying sort of way, as you would probably expect! The dragons in this game get a rating of -1/10 because there are no dragons in it, and if there were dragons, they would probably have cancer or be dead :(

One of the best 2D platformers available on this platform. Really tight and responsive controls, simple, but touching story, that balances being dark and sad with a great amount of humor, and really neat world building. Overall, just a very well-rounded underrated game that everyone with even a passing interest in platformers should try!
