![]() The fact is with the trailers and the surreal humor, I was expecting there to be at least an attempt at some story, and shockingly there’s almost none. Our main character wakes up with very little to say and a floating banana starts to impart the story to the player, as well as taking him through a rather minor but useful tutorial. My Friend Pedro starts with the player waking up in the aforementioned butcher shop’s basement. That’s more of a problem for My Friend Pedro as a whole, and we will talk about it in the gameplay section, but I was able to fly through My Friend Pedro in only five hours, and that’s kind of short overall, but we’ll get there. The boss fights are consistently the best parts of My Friend Pedro, and I would have loved to see more parts of the game exhibited by those areas in the game to change up the experience. It’s a strange, odd, and brilliant gameplay setup that only adds to the style of the game. The first major boss turns the game into a motorcycle racing game where the player can move backwards and forwards across multiple streets and then shoot enemies as they approach. Similarly, the game throws out a few other interesting techniques like skateboarding but they don’t stay around long enough to enjoy them.Ī better part of the experience is the boss encounters that change up the gameplay. There’s a point where you find a frying pan that you can kick in the air and shoot to hit enemies and while this does work perfectly, it’s only used a handful of times. My Friend Pedro has flashes of visually interesting and unique gameplay, but sadly these are only a few moments in the entire game. Of course, My Friend Pedro also does have some more visually appealing levels and while I don’t want to show everything here, there’s an outlandish attitude with the game that makes the player continue to play just to see what will happen next. While the game doesn’t have the best choice of locations, starting in a Butcher’s shop and then moving to an abandoned building, the action and experience make up for a weaker location choice at times. The amount of versatility in the motion creates a far more interesting look to My Friend Pedro and makes the game emulate many over-the-top action movies stunts. Players can make plans to stylishly move through the world, including wall jumping, rolling, twirling on the ground and in the air and even using a focus mode style control that allows players to spin in mid-air as they jump. The game offers gifs, which of course means we can see the game in action. Since the game is set up to be a side scroller, most enemies can be identified long before they are directly encountered. My Friend Pedro is set up to be a 2.5 shooter platformer, involving the player running through a level and shooting enemies that are waiting for him. With that said, let’s look at what My Friend Pedro is Graphics While there is a surreal experience to be had in My Friend Pedro, if you go in assuming a similar style to either Deadpool, the comic book character, or Deadpool, the movie character, you’ll likely be disappointed. Part of this was just the style of humor that this game seems to exude, and part of it is due to the trailers that My Friend Pedro had. I initially went into this game thinking it’ll be somewhat similar to Marvel’s character, Deadpool. Before we dive into the weird wild world of My Friend Pedro, I do want to clear up a misconception.
