In this regard, I think that Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy is a great “party” kind of game, but not for the same reasons a game like Mario Kart, Call of Duty or Super Smash Bros. I find that this is the kind of game that is at it most fun when you can play with a friend watching and you guys can take turns seeing who can get the furthest and laughing at each other’s misfortune. Watching your favorite internet personalities freak out and get mad is funny. Part of what has made Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy such a big hit is the community around it. There is not a great deal to the gameplay and in my opinion, there is not a ton of skill required, but there is just something so very addictive about it. I am not sure what the point of this is, but it makes you think, makes you mad and even makes you laugh on occasion. One thing that is funny is that Bennett Foddy himself is commentating the whole time that you are playing the game. Other times you can end up nearly all the way back at the start. There are no checkpoints so sometimes you get lucky and will just fall a little bit. You will fail, fail, and probably fail a million more times. It is the kind of thing that sounds very, very easy. Make no mistake about it Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy is one of the most frustrating games that you will ever play! You control the game by using his hammer to grip and propel him up the mountain. Frustrating, Annoying, But I Want One More Go!
The basics are, you are at the bottom of the mountain and you need to get as close to the summit as you possibly can.
