Damn, first time I got to one of these late and didn't see my game already listed. Ya'll are sleeping on
Ms. Splosion Man. If you're someone who enjoys a great platformer with unique mechanics, a silly story and a fantastic co-op experience for up to 4 players, you need to play this game.
Yes, the title is a play on Ms. Pac-Man. The tone of this series (this game is a sequel to
Splosion Man) is satirical. Anything and everything related to gaming and pop culture is referenced and caricatured. There's nothing preachy about it and it's not trying to send a "message"; it's just goofy fun.
You probably didn't get this vibe looking at the cover but this game is not easy. The platforming starts off manageable but eventually, that difficulty curve kicks in and dying becomes common place. I enjoyed the challenge but there is a skip function for those who may get frustrated, a nice little QoL mechanic that lets people enjoy the whole game even if they get stuck at a tough section. There is a downside to using the skip function but this is more than made-up for because on the other hand, you get to listen to Vegeta's voice actor sing about girls with big butts.
No, I'm not joking.
