It all adds up to make Pedro the ultimate 2D John Wick simulator.Īt the same time, pulling off all this badassery isn’t easy. Hell, you can even take down an enemy with a swift kick, or by kicking an object into their face, or setting off an explosive canister. You’re also rewarded for stylish kills since you’ve got a number of handy traversal techniques such as wall-jumping or pirouetting like a ballerina to dodge bullets, and even dual-wield pistols and uzis to shoot two targets at the same time from any direction. Kill another enemy in time and that multiplier ticks upwards but if it shrinks away entirely, it resets. The key to playing well is by maintaining a score multiplier for every consecutive kill, which appears on the bottom of the screen as a slowly shrinking circle. There’s no shortage of variety in the level design, with each area introducing new environmental puzzles or weapons to keep you on your toes all set to an excellent pounding electronic soundtrack, which seems the natural go-to for ultra-violent games these days (perhaps it’s the Drive effect). The absurd plot’s somewhat immaterial but you’ll quickly find yourself taking down murderous assailants left, right and centre from gangsters to bounty hunters to sewer-dwelling gamers. Your gas mask-wearing protagonist wakes up in an abandoned warehouse with no memory of who they are, apart from the fact you’re now pals with a sentient banana because, well, reasons. 2019 has been an exceptional bumper year for the action games-oriented combat and My Friend Pedro would almost certainly join those ranks, though you’ll just as likely find yourself tripping over its unwieldy inputs. Having stylish combat is one thing, but making it effortless on the other hand is the real secret ingredient that elevates an action game to greatness.

Getting a closer look at the siluete, we can see that is a he.
