When you play the Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures, you can expect a few things. You will die--a lot. You will find yourself getting better, and then you will find yourself making stupid mistakes that you didn’t fall for earlier. You will feel determined, disappointed, happy, and very fucking angry. Yes, you will produce vile rants—ones that rival any of the string of curses produced by the fucking nerd himself. Unlike him, however, you don’t have the luxury of blaming a shitty game. When you make a mistake in the Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures, you are completely at fault; yet, it is for this reason that you will feel so rewarded when you finally succeed—rinse and repeat for each level.
Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures is a 2D platformer with a retro game style. The title tries really hard to capture the difficulty of old NES games, as well as the character of the Angry Video Game Nerd. While the graphics, music, and controls are all fantastic, it falls a little short in the level design, story, and humour.
SteamFirst: I decided to put off writing about the game I was supposed to review this week to write about a game I played for the first time at PAX Prime 2013. I have actually been sinking a decent amount of time into that game, and I have enjoyed it so it will be getting a favorable review at some point in the near future, but I have been wanting to review this game for a while now, even though it’s not exactly a new release anymore.
Angry Video Game Nerd (AVGN), a popular YouTube production from Cinemassacre, continues to grow in reputation with the announcement of a sequel to The Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures.
Thanks to Texas-based SGC 2015, indie developer FreakZone Games was given an opportunity to unveil the project to attendees.
Definately thinking the nerd should review this one himself. :D
