Super Meat Boy 3D is a wonderful take on the 2010 classic, with that same “one more try" hook that makes it impossible to put down.
We review Super Meat Boy 3D, the latest, challenging game that pits players against platforming challenges. Is it worth checking out? Read our review.
Super Meat Boy 3D proves that Meat Boy can work in three dimensions, even if some perspective-related issues keep it from reaching the heights of the 2010 classic.
I would like to start off my review for Super Meat Boy 3D by apologizing to each of the developers’ mothers. Ladies, I know you have nothing to do with this game’s development, but boy, did I curse you whilst playing it. My bad. Blame your children’s creation. What was once the king of 2D “I want to ragequit but let me give it one more try” has finally been transitioned into the third dimension. Welcome to 1996, Meat Boy! I guess you made up for the delay by being as brutally diffic...
Super Meat Boy 3D captures the same painful joy as the original while simultaneously pushing the Masocore formula forward.
The original Super Meat Boy launched on October 20, 2010, for the Xbox 360 through Xbox Live Arcade. The game quickly earned a reputation for its brutally challenging platforming gameplay, demanding precise timing, quick reflexes, and plenty of patience from players. More than a decade later, that core identity remains intact. Super Meat Boy 3D marks the third entry in the franchise and the series' first attempt at bringing its signature high-speed platforming action into a fully 3D environment. Most levels can be completed in roughly 30 to 40 seconds once you've mastered their layouts but rea…
The sequel to the highly challenging adrenaline-pumping third-dimensional game will bring you dramatic moments and (again) lots of deaths.
When a 2D platformer leaps to 3D, the results can vary wildly. Mario stands as the poster boy for what the most successful 2D-to-3D transition looks like, as the plumber flourished in the third dimension. Conversely, Sonic the Hedgehog has often stumbled since making the same jump, and, in my opinion, never truly found his footing. Team Meat admirably tries its hand at reinventing Super Meat Boy in the same way, and the result hovers somewhere between the highs of Mario and the lows of Sonic....
Prepare to test your patience in the five challenging worlds featured in the highly anticipated return of the franchise.
Super Meat Boy 3D has brief moments of fun, but messy controls make it feel a lot more frustrating than was initially intended.
It is these elements that kept me from enjoying Super Meat Boy 3D as much as I’d like. Yes, it is still a fun platformer. But it is also the modern embodiment of why ‘just make it 3D’ is still as challenging today as it was back on the Nintendo 64. At times, Super Meat Boy 3D gets to do its own thing and focus on what made that original game a modern classic. Great controls with tight level design that encourage the player to replay it over and over again to get the best time and find the collectibles. Yet, too many times I felt like the meat was left cooking too long. It’s bent into v…
I always have an anxiousness about a 2D platformer going 3D. I fear that while it might look cool and handle well at the outset, the jump to the third dimension of level design and gimmicks always comes with some frustrating growing pains. I enjoyed the original Super Meat Boy, and while I thought Super Meat Boy Forever was okay, I was happy to see the series go back to proper platforming handled by the player in Super Meat Boy 3D. Indeed, it has some great level design, a solid soundtrack, and I love the look of Meat Boy and the usual suspects in this new style, but the third dimension has once again created problems, and they’re compounded with a few longstanding Meat Boy issues.
Super Meat Boy 3D is the punishing and challenging game you expect, but it lacks the personality of the original and odd camera angles make it tricky.
Filled with secrets and creativity, Super Meat Boy 3D is ultimately betrayed by slippery controls that cause a much less fun frustration than its predecessor.
Super Meat Boy 3D takes a bold leap into 3D, delivering intense platforming and addictive challenge - but not without flaws. This review breaks down its gameplay, design, and whether the transition truly works.
The elevator pitch for Super Meat Boy 3D is mind-numbingly simple; It’s Super Meat Boy, but in 3D. The clue is right there in the title.
Super Meat Boy 3D heralds the return of our meaty friend, but is it the genuine comeback we've been waiting for? You can read all about it in this review.
Super Meat Boy 3D isn't exactly a massive leap for the franchise when compared to other side-scrollers that have made the jump to a new dimension, but that's okay. What's here is the high-level, fluid, and precise platforming you'd expect, and that fans of the series have come to adore. Yes, you will die thousands of times by the end, but that's also the point. There are small design hiccups here and there in terms of a few levels that don't feel fair, a couple less memorable bosses, and the added depth sometimes playing tricks on your brain. At the end of the day, however, Super Meat Boy 3D is a blast, and I'm looking forward to shaving off tenths of seconds from my record times on each and every level.
Super Meat Boy 3D is an overall tight adaptation of the iconic Team Meat platformer into the squishier third dimension. The visual style loses some of its unique Flash edge in the transition to 3D, but the stages themselves retain the teeth-clenching challenge and goofy humor that made Super Meat Boy so beloved.
