Things like the aforementioned frying pan or getting a skateboard for brief periods really add to the game.Įvery time I saw the skateboard I became excited for some more kick board to enemy face then do a sick jump action. It’s not just weapons but also environmental features which can help or harm you. Variety is the spice of life, at least, I think that’s what the Banana told me. Other times I liked having the option just to explode their faces with a grenade. Sometimes I found myself wanting to go back to simpler or dual wielded weapons to deal with specific scenarios. Progressing will give you new weapons to play with and this can help you really tune in to your own playstyle. Starting out you have one simple gun, which you can return to at any time. Thankfully, My Friend Pedro shakes it up by introducing new things at just the right pace to keep you interested. When I noticed that while fun, it wasn’t as exciting as I’d hoped I was worried boredom would quickly set in. Something My Friend Pedro does do really well is slowly build and add new elements. More there’s a level of enjoyment that should come from kicking a frypan into the air and using it to ricochet bullets into unsuspecting bad guys that it just doesn’t reach.
It’s not that it’s entirely unsatisfying. I can look at what I’m doing and be impressed but that feeling of doing it just isn’t there. The fluidity visible on screen doesn’t seem to translate to the controller in my hand. Hard ones.Īnd again, my main frustration comes from how cool this sounds and looks. It’s sort of like you’re Neo in The Matrix, only the red pill was filled with lots and lots of drugs. It’s about how many flips you can do while kicking people’s body parts into other people’s heads while cool music pulses in the background. This isn’t about being stealthy and lucky to survive. My Friend Pedro absolutely gives your character a sense of power and ability. Sure, the button may not always save you but it’s clear you are the superior foe. Given that you literally have a ‘push to dodge bullet’ button it’s not a particularly difficult game. As you encounter enemies it’s up to you to use these skills to take them out in the most stylish way possible. The kicker is that you have a few skills up your sleeve which includes the ability to slow time and dodge bullets. In this 2D action game, you’ll find yourself moving through linear levels while shooting enemies.
