The game is very forgiving when it comes to the timing of your jumps, which may seem like I'm complimenting the game for baby proofing the gameplay, however there's a difference between baby proofing and just making the game feel good to play, and I feel that The End Is Nigh perfectly walks the line between unforgiving precise difficulty, and just feeling plain good to play.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
43 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The controls are tight, there's no vsync delay, the soundtrack is a well-rendered heavy metal/8-bit mixture of classical pieces, the graphics look nice (and remind me of SMB on several occasions).
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
28 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The End Is Nigh is a brutally demanding platformer that blends razor-sharp gameplay with an unsettling sense of humor and a surprisingly emotional story.
