My Friend Pedro
My Friend Pedro
My Friend Pedro, développé par DeadToast Entertainment et édité par Devolver Digital, est sorti le 20 juin 2019 sur PC, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch et Xbox One. Ce titre indépendant mêlant jeu de tir, aventure, arcade et plateforme, propulsé par le moteur Unity, se présente comme un ballet violent autour de l'amitié, de l'imagination et de la lutte d'un homme qui détruit tout sur son passage sous l'influence d'une banane douée de conscience. Le joueur peut viser deux cibles à la fois, évoluer au ralenti et surprendre ses ennemis pour créer des séquences d'action, tout en gardant le contrôle de ses armes et mouvements, avec des phases de poursuite à moto et des puzzles de physique. L'histoire principale peut être bouclée en environ quatre heures, contre neuf heures pour une approche complétionniste, et le jeu est proposé au prix de 19,50 euros.
L'accueil critique a été favorable, avec un score Metacritic de 81 et un OpenCritic de 80. Gaming Age a imaginé des comparaisons avec Hotline Miami en raison de l'éditeur et de la violence, tandis que Pure Nintendo a qualifié le jeu de paradis pour les speedrunners au récit charmant. Certains joueurs sur Metacritic ont toutefois trouvé les derniers niveaux ennuyeux, alors que d'autres y ont vu un plaisir simple de tirer et s'amuser avec une banane parlante, et un avis Steam positif a jugé le jeu original mais injouable au clavier et à la souris, ne recommandant que la manette.

Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« Because it’s a) from Devolver and b) insanely violent, I can imagine that My Friend Pedro will get at least a few Hotline Miami comparisons. And while there’s certainly a hint of that game here, make no mistake: My Friend Pedro is its own beast — one that’s gloriously over-the-top, full of well-designed levels and good controls, and, above all else, ridiculously fun. »
« Altogether, My Friend Pedro is a speedrunner’s paradise, offering a charming story with good gunplay for its price tag. But if you are looking for pure replay value you won’t find that here (unless you are a speedrunner). »
« This game is Bananas. B-A-N-A-N-A-S. »
« My Friend Pedro is an enthusiastic, stylish take on the shoot ‘em up genre that’s elevated by its complex level designs and clever puzzles. It combines so many mechanics from so many games that you might lose track, but these elements all come together to create a unified, singular experience. If you ever wondered what you’d get by crossing Hard Boiled and Super Mario Bros., it would look a lot like My Friend Pedro. »
« It's over too soon, but while it lasts My Friend Pedro is a unique, likeable shooter and some of the best fun I've had in a while. »
« There's so much to love about My Friend Pedro that it's often hard to find something to complain about, so I'll just end this gushing little review on an extremely high note: Out of all the Nintendo Switch games I've played so far this year, I think I've found my favorite. I have plenty more banana-related adventures to pursue -- and bullets to waste. »
« My Friend Pedro is one of the year’s best titles, and is easily among the Switch’s premier indie titles. It’s funny, it’s stylish, and it’s challenging in all the best ways, and definitely needs to be played by anyone looking for their next quick hit of action gaming. »
« My Friend Pedro is everything I wanted it to be. Smooth, stylish gun play, powered by creativity that makes you feel like you’re making your own action scenes in a movie. What’s not to love? Pedro is love. Pedro is your friend. »
Avis des Joueurs (Metacritic)
« The game is enjoyable overall, but the later stages became quite boring for me. »
« This game boils down to two things: shoot stuff and have a blast. A talking banana tells you to go on a killing spree — and, naturally, you just roll with it. It’s dumb, it’s simple, and it’s brilliantly done »
« Pretty cool, worth your time and money. The acrobatics and the mechanics are pretty fun as well, must play. »
« I committed mass genocide because the funny sentient banana told me to. I also enjoyed shooting up the elderly. »
« I mean the story is nice, the pacing is great and the action is over the top. Sadly, controls are a bit of a mess that drags down a rather cool but short experience. 7.5 from me. »
« THIS IS A BANANA GAME AND IT'S GORGEOUS. SERIOUSLY, PLAY IT IT'S THE BEST GAME IN THE WORLD. »
« No story to really speak off, a very short run time of about 5-6 hours, however the meat of this game is replayability, going for the S rank on each level, trying out different methods of taking down enemies. Controls work great, other than a slight issue with the roll, which causes you to be stuck in a roll animation whilst you need to be shooting. No matter how bad you play, you still feel like a legend playing this game. Some very tough and frustrating platforming in the final level, which caught me off guard since the games strength is most certain not in platforming and doing precision wall jumping ect. It had me replaying the one section about 30 times to just get through a rope section which was very poorly done taking into account the very limited control you actually have for wall jumping. Fortunately the game is VERY forgiving with check points and it loads within 1-2 seconds to restart literally a second or two from where you failed. »
