The strengths underutilized

Can you imagine puzzles in Hotline Miami? The game looks and sounds good. There's not much in particular in style that makes the game stand out among similar titles. It can be described as a 2.5D shooter with synth-wave soundtrack. What's with synth-wave soundtracks? They seem to be in every action game nowadays. The talking banana in the trailer was intriguing. I thought it would be in the story more, but, (if I haven't missed anything important) other than the the banana that gives hints and directions and takes you to its world, where nothing interesting or relevant to the story happens, there isn't much. I don't think the story was the primary goal with this game. What appears to be the primary goal (and the game's biggest strength) is the combat mechanics that involve a lot of interaction with the environments, i.e. platforming, ricochet shooting, hitting enemies with various objects, slo-mo, etc. It works and feels great, but only for the first few levels. I consider split-firing (done through dual-wielding pistols or submachine guns) to be the most unique and fun element of shooting mechanics. Being able to kill two enemies at the same time from two guns feels amazing. Unfortunately, it's pretty much taken away from the player upon reaching the sewers level, where the only viable weapon is the assault rifle. Apparently, the developers thought that the players would get bored of all the same stuff on each level, so they decided to detach platforming from shooting, add puzzles (in a fast-pace shoot-'em-up game) and make dual-wielded weapons obsolete by turning up the enemies' bullet-sponginess. Split-fire wouldn't get old. Hotline Miami combat was pretty much the same all throughout the game and it didn't get old. The game would benefit from making more maps encouraging usage of this element. Platforming puzzles were also unnecessary, in my opinion. I enjoyed the first few levels though.

Pure, fun, knows where to end

If you wanna relive the glory days of action flash games, but with today's production values, this is one of your best options Yes, the later levels lean more on the puzzle side but there's still enough shooting to make it worth it, my only real issue is with the last "normal" boss battle where the boss uses the same dodge move you have but it isn't really clear when you can actually inflict damage again

My Friend Max Payne

If Remedy Entertainment would made platformer version of Max Payne it would look like My Friend Pedro.

БЕЗУМНЫЙ БАНАН

My Friend Pedro — типичная игра издательства Devolver Digital, но имеющая ряд особенностей, делающих её в какой-то мере уникальной. Замедление времени, отзывчивое поведение персонажа и дизайн уровней наделяют эту игру неповторимым шармом и желанием перепроходить каждую локацию до ранга S. В неё много юмора и шуток про индустрию, что лично мне сильно запало. Это, безусловно, не шедевр, но настолько безбашенной игры я давно не видел. Игровой процесс здесь даже трудно описать, поскольку его необходимо чувствовать на собственных пальцах. Мне редко попадаются шутеры с такой приятной механикой стрельбы, а здесь Max Payne и Hotline Miami сливаются воедино, а потому ощущения после концовки остаются лишь положительные. Сюжет — еб*нутый, геймплей — еб*нутый, дизайн локаций — еб*нутый и прекрасный. Это игра затягивают и позволяет пройти себя за один вечер, не успевает надоест и дарит собственные еб*нутые впечатления. Одна из лучших игр Devolver и уж точно одна из лучших игр 2019 года, даже рад, что познакомился с ней сейчас, когда играть стало не во что. 9/10

Falls short in the genre

Checks pretty much all the boxes for a Devolver game. A frantic, 2D shooter with a heavy hallucinatory vibe. Unfortuantely, MFP doesn't really stand up to its predecessors like Hotline Miami. I'll start with a few positives: the soundtrack is great and the first few levels are a lot of fun. Moving on to the negatives... I don't want to beat a dead horse, so I'm just going to call out that I wholeheartedly agree with the numerous other reviews indicating that MFP rapidly loses momentum after the first few levels and becomes a real snooze by the end. This is total conjecture, but MFP feels very much like it suffered from "feature creep" to me. The core gameplay loop starts very simple: dual wield, time slow, dodging. By the end, things are so hectic that the developers felt the need to have the banana popup like an in-game ad to remind you that you have certain abilities because you haven't used them in so long. You can disable this feature, I'm not complaining about the popup, I'm complaining about the fact that it's even necessary. I really wish they had kept the player's abilities/weapons constant so that you can master them as the game progresses and instead increase the level difficulty, which honestly hardly ramped at all aside from a few platforming puzzles. Lastly, I'm going to call out the lack of mod support here, which is actually a very frequent gripe I have with these types of games from Devolver. A commmunity map editor would probably make this game worth it at current price, otherwise wait for a sale because you're only gonna get a couple hours out of this unless you replay the handful of fun levels A LOT. Overall rating of three stars because it's competent and fun enough that I played it through to the end. Definitely not a bad game, just very mediocre and disappointing.
