My Friend Pedro
My Friend Pedro is a snappy, energetic, and hilarious game with the weirdest story concept and an incredible combat system. You don’t often see talking bananas in video games and when you do occasionally see them they generally don’t encourage you to do crime.
And that’s what Pedro does throughout the entire game. He essentially guides you on a mission to kill a specific person. Getting to this individual is easier said than done since you actually have to go through bullet hell levels and fight numerous enemies.
However, My Friend Pedro’s combat system includes briefly slowing down time, crazy parkour to traverse areas, and spinning to dodge hits. You can also ricochet bullets off of frying pans and other surfaces to creatively kill enemies.
My Friend Pedro clocks in at around four to five hours to beat so this insane gem is a quick game that’s short and sweet.
