I wouldn't have recommended this game if it weren't for two features: - 60 fps: Who thought that locking a fast, twitch-based game to 30 fps could have been a good idea? It feels atrocious, especially after having played the 60 fps version. The latter is not perfectly stable, with occasional (every ~1h) freezes that require restarts, at least on Linux. But it is more than worth it. - Beginner difficulty: That difficulty is the "normal" compared to the other modes and for me it feels more balanced. Seriously, I have dozens of other games in my backlog/wishlist. No thank you, dying 40 times in the exact same room is not my definition of fun. Also, once you die there may be a considerable amount of backtracking if you're unlucky. I've beaten every level in Super Meat Boy, but here deaths are just punishing instead of encouraging. The beginner mode offers accessibility for people like me, which is very welcomed. It also halves the playtime to around 3-4 hours, BTW.
