I always try to limit my 5 stars to really special games, that i truly love, so I was really wondering whether Super Meat Boy deserved it. I believed that the more frustrating parts of the game (omega) held it back, but really, they make it better.
The absolute relief when you finally finish a hard level is unmatched, but at the same time, trying to finish one isn't boring in the slightest, each time you die, you want to do better on the next try, which is made better with instant respawns. But even with that, it doesn't make the game easy. There are no assist options, or encouraging words to keep you going. All there is are you, the game, and your own sheer fucking determination.
