My Friend Pedro Review | A Hotline Miami-beater?

By Alex Santa Maria

Devolver Digital has a “type” of games that are usually guns-blazing affairs with thumping retro music and plenty of mass murder. Despite branching out in recent years, the publisher doesn’t stray too far from what brought it to the dance. This is where MY FRIEND PEDRO comes in. It sticks close to the Devolver formula, so much that this game could have…

  • Precise shooting with a wide variety of killing implements.
  • A handful of grand setpieces to break up the monotony.
  • A streak of surrealism that hints at what could be.
  • A focus on platforming gets in the way of the action.
  • Run of the mill environments and boss encounters.
  • Somewhat wonky controls, especially on Switch.
