Every time you kill an enemy, the combo bar located in the middle of the screen will fill up. The goal of each sequence is to score as many points as possible, as fast as possible.
When the action amps up to a frenzy, momentum is your strongest ally. The focus ability has a certain duration and can be replenished by executing your foes. The focus bar saves the day in this case by slowing down the pace and providing much-needed space to calm the nerves and steady the aim. I still cannot forget my expression when I decapitated an NPC and used its body parts as projectiles-it was simply flawless.Īll this spinning, jumping, and bullet dodging can be tricky sometimes, especially when you are inside a room filled with enemies. From elevators to ziplines and even frying puns, there are many possibilities to unleash hell, limited only by your imagination. Beyond the bullets and the stuns My friend Pedro is also filled with interactive objects destined to create more havoc and destruction. The game is made up of a ton of awesome moments where you will be encouraged to combine acrobatics with different weapon combinations. Shotguns, Uzis, pistols, and ricocheting bullets-everything can be used to your advantage, provided that you execute your enemies with finesse. I am particularly fond of the ability to aim at two things simultaneously while dual-wielding because it lets me kill my foes easily and in a stylish manner. The wild stuns you can perform mid-air when doing, for example, a wall jump while at the same time shooting in both directions are not preanimated, leading towards many opportunities and badass scenarios. Even though they do not add anything amazing to the standard shooter mix, their implementation is one of the best I have ever seen. The action sequences are the domain in which the game excels. It consists of some traditional tropes, from parkour stunts to barrel rolls, as well as many new, refreshing features that I will get to in a minute. The game follows a simple learning curve that is hard to master. Though it is not the main plot nor the characters that shine the most, the gameplay mechanics redeem the whole experience. If you already know that something does not work, why on earth would you add it to the final product? There are times that it even comments on its peculiar humour, satirising, for example, some unoriginal aspects found in other titles of the same genre and immediately proceeding to make the same mistakes. The plot feels stale and somewhat boring, with occasional quirky jokes thrown here and there that leave a bad taste in your mouth. My friend Pedro focuses heavily on the gameplay aspect rather than the storytelling. Why would you follow the commands of a fruit in the first place, well we live in strange times… Without questioning the morality of your deeds, you are told to wreak havoc in your path. You wake up as a faceless, nameless character that apparently follows the orders of a sentient banana called Pedro. It is a violent ballet about friendship and solitude that no one cares about, with a solid backbone that lets you forgive some of its flaws. Developed by DeadToast Entertainment, the game integrates fast-paced mechanics into excellent worldbuilding that regrettably flew under many people's radars.
My Friend Pedro is an interesting knife-kicking, weapon-switching platform shooter with exceptional replay value that can lead to countless hours of pure mayhem. It's fine to take a little break sometimes."
