Having a bland story and an underwhelming amount of content typically makes for a dissatisfying game, so why did I find myself enjoying My Friend Pedro so much? I’m no trophy hunter and I’m no high score chaser I play games for entertainment purposes. If you know my gaming preferences, you’ll understand why this was a massive letdown for me, as I don’t appreciate a lack in substance in exchange for replayable levels. This encourages players to replay levels in hopes of gaining a higher score (either C, B, A, or S ratings). Bonuses are the aim of the game, as My Friend Pedro is all about having the highest score simultaneously the game’s biggest draw and its biggest flaw.ĭuring the game, every kill adds to a score multiplier at the bottom of the screen. Over the course of the game, I collected at least five different guns, from pistols to sniper rifles, all of which can be dual-wielded, making for completely varied playstyles and kill bonuses. In this department, My Friend Pedro does not disappoint. There’s a certain kind of game that can get away with a forgettable narrative, and that’s one with gratuitous violence to fill the void. Who needs a hefty plot that makes you think when the gameplay is this entertaining? Unfortunately, it shouldn’t be overlooked that Pedro lacks any real emotional depth, with the game’s terminal twist leaving me feeling more “meh” than “no way!” My Friend Pedro plops you right into the middle of the action, and while you traverse the levels across 7 varying “worlds” you’ll always be wondering “just what am I doing here, exactly?” Part of the fun is to disassociate your mind from the action at hand, however.
Seriously, why is nobody stopping them?īut I digress. From here it only gets harder to comprehend, as the game’s story is more confusing than those car commercials where the dogs are driving around town and nobody’s stopping them.
If that makes no sense to you, then this game is already achieving what it set out to do. Based on a flash game from 2014, My Friend Pedro follows a masked vigilante as he shoots his way through 40 levels of the strangest criminals imaginable alongside a talking banana named Pedro.
