I should note I played the updated version of the game released on Switch, so the extraordinarily steep difficulty of the original was something I thankfully didn't have to deal with.

While not a very unique platformer experience, AVGN Adventures is still a rather fun time all things considered. The difficulty of the re-release feels just right for what it is, and the controls feel absolutely solid. I understand if this isn't for you considering that it's rather simplistic in terms of design and if the primary selling point (that being the charm of The Nerd and references to the show) don't stick with you; this game can easily be argued to be an "acquired taste."

Nevertheless, this was a fun platformer experience and I'm looking forward to playing more with the second game.
