It takes a certain type of player to love a game that hates you. I mean HATES you to the point where it laughs in your face, kicks you when your down, steals your lunch money, beats you until you’re black and blue, and gives you the finger, all before high five’ing its closest buddy and heading off to repeat the action on the next unsuspecting victim. I, however, must be that kind of player. For despite Super Meat Boy’s total disregard for my blood pressure, it is, without a doubt, one of the most satisfying, enjoyable, and hardest games ever to be released on any platform. Not only will it eat up the hours in your day faster than a fat man eats cake, it will challenge you like no other game you’ve ever played. Every level is designed with the sinister goal of making you really work for the carrot on the end of that stick.

Microsoft is a little slow this month when it comes to announcing the Games with Gold lineup for June 2022. This has led to the lineup leaking ahead of the announcement.
Super Meat Boy was a Games with Gold title back in 2016..It's leftover Meat from 2016
I actually really enjoyed Aven Colony when it was on Gamepass. I got it for free from Epic Store a few months back.
I’ll give it another go.
"Now that we finally have a sequel to the iconic super-difficult indie platformer, let's examine both and see which one's the meat to beat." - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums
Vote for either Super Meat Boy or Super Meat Boy Forever at the bottom of the article! 🎮😄
The last decade wasn't the Golden Age of platformers, that's for sure, but there were still many great games. Check out Wccftech's shortlist!
They put Celeste in the honorable mentions. Such a shame, this game is premium in platforming. Rayman is also def a 10/10 platformer.
