Super Meat Boy is a game that stands for one thing: pure platforming gameplay.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
41 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
What I really liked about it was that while this game is hyped as a very difficult game (and it does get quite difficult) the difficulty curve is done really well.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
17 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack is great, and you can choose between two of them, the 2010 version and 2015 version.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
9 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It has presentable graphics, 2 great soundtracks, it has its charm and can be fun, but it fails really badly in the gameplay department, making it more frustrating than anything.
