The faster you go and the less you get hit, the higher your point multiplier goes, and the more creative your kills the more points you get. At the end of every level you get a rating based on how many points you got, which you earn by killing enemies quickly, creatively and without getting hit. Not only does the game give you multiple opportunities to channel your inner John Wick, it rewards your for it. Or when you dodge spin with enemies on both sides of you and spray your dual machine pistols like a murderous ballerina. Instead of leaping from one demon to another, ripping and tearing, this shooter’s best moments come when you slow down time as you crash through a window on a zipline, shooting one enemies head off and then kicking it at another to kill them. This might remind you of some other more popular shooters that have the same feel, like DOOM (2016), but My Friend Pedro serves this mechanic up in a unique way. Like many other shoot-em-ups before it, My Friend Pedro is fueled by its momentum you shoot one set of enemies and move right on to the next with no stops in between. Of course the real focus of My Friend Pedro isn’t its world or writing, it’s in the game’s non-stop action. That being said, the bit about hardcore gamers was pretty funny. The game’s story follows suit, and though it ends in a twist you can probably guess what it is. But more often than not, jokes fall flat. Mobsters are butchering people and selling it as mystery meat, the internet is basically run as a Cyberpunk megacorp with its own paramilitary and of course, the most hardcore of gamers have retreated into the sewers where they have gone feral. Like many other games published by Devolver Digital, My Friend Pedro has a very tongue-in-cheek style of humor. Of course I have to mention the game’s writing, which is mediocre bordering on groan-worthy. This standout marks the halfpoint of the game, and serves as a nice pink-hewn break from the otherwise grey color palette that the majority of the game conforms to. Beyond him are bland enemies and same-y backgrounds, with the exception of one level that looks more like an acid trip. Most often, the only eye-popping thing on the screen is your character, who dances and twists around bullets while firing off his own. Although he doesn’t have limbs to hold guns with, he does his best to guide your character through this mad world of never-ending sewers, retirement villages for mobsters and whatever the place he calls home is. He’s your only friend in this huge unknown world, and he just happens to be a floating sentient banana who lives in your mind. ![]() Along the way, you’re guided by who else than your friend Pedro. In My Friend Pedro you take on the role of a masked amnesiac fighting to collapse criminal empires, from one that makes canned meat out of people to the internet. And while the story and writing may leave something to be desired, the experience that My Friend Pedro delivers doesn’t suffer for it. With its outrageous and sometimes quirky shooting mechanics, like shooting someone while you’re doing a flip on a skateboard, you’ll keep coming back.
