I beat the game VVVVVV, and let me ensure you, that is an accomplishment. As you can see I died 2085 times. I can't remember ever being that furious at my computer screen, but I couldn't give up.
This game is insanely hard, but the checkpoints are close together so it's not an "artificial" difficulty. Each checkpoint is just really, really hard.
It's fair to say I hated this game, but I loved this game. It reminded me why we play video games - because of the challenge. In fact, this game started me on a new campaign to play difficult video games like we used to play back on the NES. Now those were hard games. Nowadays you just pay to play through a story. Boring. Games can provide you with a experience no other medium can, but only when they're challenging. Pick up this game (you can find it on Steam) and remember why we play games.
