Completed as of writing this review: Base Game (Normal Difficulty) To be honest I'm not familiar much with AVGN but I still appreciate his existence for making a revolution of video game reviews, that were made entirely in-house. These were before him but only he was able to popularize it. Anyway, the game is pretty good. Mostly what you would expect from an indie game released in early 2010's. The stages are vibrant, colorful, pretty fine challenge-wise (my fave is Happy Fun Candy Time). The bosses were what I didn't really like, as they required you to learn a pattern pixel by pixel, but that's expected from a game based on games from late 1980's. The music was bangin' though. The humor and gore-y nature is what you would expect from an indie game from this time and it was all mostly funny due to how absurd it could be. Of course not exactly everything is all that fun. The death blocks are the biggest offender in some of the stages for example. But the stage that truly got on my nerves is the very last one. I can understand the fact that it tries to be as retro as possible with the difficulty but this one stage was too much. I barely got through it, okay fine, but the final boss was the worst thing in this game. One of the most unfair bosses I've ever had trouble with. Even if I knew the pattern, it was still not enough. Eventually I just used one spot where he was barely able to reach me and only that let me beat him. Still that's not enough, as there are difficulties that only people with too much free time can master, so the game is not fair all things considered. Even with 30 lives I am done with this game. I know people will say that it was "my fault by setting the game to normal" but all of the stages were not nerve-wrecking to this extent. Hopefully the developers have learned their lesson in the sequel. I can't recommend this game to an average fan of platformers just because of this moment alone but I'm still giving it a like because everything else was pretty fun!

Very hard, but fun game. I strongly recommend it.

If you are a fan of the show you'll enjoy all the references. This is a good game overall. The game as good controls, looks nice, and is fun. If you haven'r play this game or its sequel, buy the AVGN 1+2 double pack. It's both games together, and is absolutely worth the price. Grab it when its on sale. You'll be glad you did.

This game is so hard, it would actually be easier to go outside in a thunderstorm and try to dodge rain. It would be easier to walk barefoot, without your toes or heels touching the floor. It'd be easier to pick fly shit out of pepper... while wearing boxing gloves! Very fun game, especially for AVGN fans!

★★★★☆ F#@%ing Awesome! What the f#@%! Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures is a blast from the past, delivering exactly what it promises. If you're a fan of the AVGN YouTube Channel and his epic rants, you'll feel right at f#@%! home here. This game is a treasure trove of references, trivia, and nods to classic video games and AVGN's iconic videos. It's a raging good time that'll have you laughing, cursing, and throwing your controller in frustration—just like the good ol' days. If you're a true fan, this game is a must-play. So grab a beer, fire up your console, and prepare to get your a$$ kicked old-school style!
