Full disclosure: I’m not a huge fan of PewDiePie, but I am quite aware of Felix Kjellberg’s enormous fame in the YouTube world as its most popular gamer. As with most hot properties, a licensed video game was inevitable (see: Shaq Fu… or don’t). In addition to barrels, PewDiePie also has to battle against the stigma of property-based games. Can his debut game PewDiePie: Legend of the Brofist, appeal to non-fans as well as fans?

"Now, I’m an immature 38 year old. I find farts funny. But I like to think my fart humour has a level of sophistication that requires at least context. When someone farts in a church, that’s extremely funny. When a fart sounds a bit like a tune on a trumpet, that’s hilarious. But just a fart noise in a bedroom – no, I’m more refined than that. And the word “fart” just on its own doesn’t quite reach the bar for me. Because I’m no longer a Cub Scout."
Games Reviewer reviews Outerminds' PewDiePie: Legend of the Brofist. It is a solid 2D side-scrolling platformer that is fun to play although it may be short.
DTOID:
Anyone who frequents YouTube knows who PewDiePie is, but if you don't, he is an over-the-top let's player that parents don't get and kids love, as well as the most-subscribed person on YouTube. And now he has his own game.
I was initially surprised to see a game based on PewDiePie topping the paid charts on the Apple App Store, and after checking out some screenshots, I was surprised to find myself buying and playing the game to completion. You want to know the most surprising thing?
