Suicide Guy Critic Reviews

Suicide Guy is a very original puzzle, but made in a very approximate way.

There's fun to be had in Suicide Guy. There's a nice variety of situations and environments and exploring each stage can be a blast. The technical problems are what ultimately drag Suicide Guy down. Still, if you can get past the bugs and glitches, there's a nifty little puzzle game waiting for you on the eShop.

While levels do increase in size, it is rare to find anything that is truly inspiring.

Would I recommend it? Not really. Is it a good game? No. But I love the fact that it’s out there. I also love the fact that it’s a game where death is encouraged. However, because we want him to die, it does remove any tension or risk of failure, therefore lacks excitement.

An indie fruit of a passion but still an immature work.

While it has genuinely great moments, Suicide Guy has a few too many bugs as well as being incredibly short. The physics themselves don't always work as they are supposed to, a definite issue in a physics puzzle game. Not a bad game, but not a good one either despite it's high points.

Reviewing Suicide Guy was a complex one - it was a battle between the great ideas for the chains of events to complete the level, against the clunky and obtuse handling and controls. For that, it gets a score right down the middle.
