Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy is the worst game ever and I hate it so much.
Not because I’m bad at it, which I am, but just because it’s getting all this praise that it doesn’t really deserve.
Rage games have existed for a long time, since the start of the internet, basically, but Getting Over It Takes the formula of “difficult game with intentionally bad control scheme” and does something new with it. And by new I mean preachy. It tries really hard to be inspirational with all its ”it’s not bad if you fail, you must find inner peace and be calm before you win” quotes plastered on screen every time you fall back to the beginning of the game. Those are really the only things separating it from other generic rage games, and they don’t provide much, if not any, substance to the game. After a month this’ll just be another rage game everyone will look back at and say “Hey, remember then we were angry at this game for, like, a couple hours?” and walk away to play better games.
