Most of the bosses here are a lot of fun, many possibly being even better than the selection from AVGN Adventures, but the mid-level bosses fall a bit short and somehow feel like busywork.

3вЂ™s iconic design, but it also helps to show how the new levels are divided up and reworked to be shorter experiences with bosses being their own stage, leaving players to be less worried about how much life they reach the opponent with.

The new overworld map is meant to look similar to Super Mario Bros. This is before we even discuss the colorful language chock-full of F-bombs and fun phrases as the main character dresses down his opponents. Fuckwit,вЂќ penis shaped missiles, killing a clone made from his own shit, and the player riding a giant Tanuki that can crush enemies with its oversized testicles. The absurdness and vulgarity helps with this, not just in the stages themselves, dismemberment, and meaty chunks of The Nerd and his enemies who die, but a boss in the form of a kids toy called вЂњMr. ThereвЂ™s a lovely sort of humor when dying so many times, it borders on insanity and bliss. The game is so hard that James Rolfe (the AVGN himself) actually asked the developers to tone down one part, which makes me feel a lot better about getting wasted repeatedly.

Players shouldnвЂ™t forget that the series is about the humor in pointing out bad game design and problematic elements in classic titles, so there are still moments where power-ups are purposefully put in horrible places, like having an extra life sitting on top of a row of spikes, because at its core, FreakZone want to incite some rage. Where the first game had me screaming at everything indiscriminately when I croaked, ASSimilation made it pretty clear when I had become too cocky or hadnвЂ™t been paying enough attention. This doesnвЂ™t mean that there arenвЂ™t a ton of one-hit kill traps and frustrating areas, but the pace has been slowed a bit, meaning even more I feel like deaths are my fault. The developers seemed to rely less on the blocks and more on enemy patterns and environment navigation to build the difficulty. It didnвЂ™t happen by much, but enough to make a difference and cheapen the experience less overall. FreakZone also heard all of the cries from the heavens to decrease the insane amount of death blocks. They did this while keeping the game similar enough that players who liked the action in the first one would be able to enjoy part two seamlessly, with few adjustments. Gameplay is a big attraction for AVGN II because it looks like FreakZone Games took the constructive feedback from the first release to change some small things that added up well. I had to prove it to myself and him that I could do this (spoiler: I failed again). I had to win, not just because IвЂ™m a fan of the show, or that I like the character of The Nerd. Both of these games have vexed many to no end and taught me new levels of defeat and experimental ways of cursing that were only thought to exist in legends, but I wanted to conquer them. It was a dark time for my gaming cred indeed, but by the end I had gotten better and respected the frustration and truly appreciated the satisfaction found when I succeeded. I truly liked the first game, AVGN Adventures, even though playing it took years off of my life. More people may have played it with the recent release of both games on Switch, but I want to do my part to make sure it doesnвЂ™t slip through the cracks more than it might have already.

Featuring beautiful sprites, a vibrant and colorful palette, with a hair-pulling difficulty that keeps players wanting to persist even after countless deaths, it creates a package that not as many people talked about compared to the first entry.

Angry Video Game Nerd II: ASSimilation may only be four years old (2016), but it has that retro action and style many like me crave.
