What is the most frustrating game you have EVER played in your life? I don’t mean difficulty, I mean frustrating gameplay mechanics. These features were primarily present in retro games, where game programming was still young and people were willing to put up with inconvenient gameplay for the sake of getting to play a game.
Today, there is a tiny niche market for these so called “B-Games”, where players try and beat the unfair mechanics of these games. For Fun? A Challenge? Masochism? Who knows! But every gamer worth their salt has attempted these type of games at some point. Most of these attempts end in a broken keyboard, and a rage uninstall, of course!
Getting over it with Bennett Foddy is a simplistic game about a guy in a pot. With a hammer. And you need to climb a “mountain”. The game is designed in such a way that if you make a mistake, unless you are very lucky, you’ll need to start much of that segment again.
Personally, I played this for about 3 hours before I gave up and rage deleted the game. I then went on YouTube and found a SpeedRun that ended in 1:56. Apart from completely blowing my mind, it made me laugh like a lunatic when he uninstalls the game instantly after he is done. (Do not be fooled by his skill! The game itself is insanely challenging and he needed to do this for hundreds of hours before he could actually manage this)
Is it worth getting? Well, that is entirely subjective. There is a very real possibility you may never finish this game. If you have very little patience or drive to finish a game, then this is probably not the game for you. If you are a gamer that enjoys a grind with little reward, with the promise of a sense of accomplishment at the end (IF you were to make it), then this is a fantastic game that can give you several hours of FRUSTRATINGLY challenging gameplay!
