The Horrendously Horrid Henry Review

Closed
lokonopa

Greetings community,

I was the unfortunate winner of Yatterman's unfortunate Horrid Henry giveaway. After playing the first few stages, four out of a total of six (and hidden bonus levels, oh my!), I figured it's time to share my thoughts. Please note all the links are relevant screenshots.

First, there is only one track for background music. It goes along great with the game because you're pretty much in the same room throughout much of the game. If I had anything nice to say about this game, redundancy is what it does best.

Your only weapon is overpowered goo that you receive from large buckets found around the house that one hit kills enemies. Each level, you have exceedingly simple tasks. As you can see, spiders are no match for the power of this green goo. As you can see, the spiders have become quite the hassle. Don't stare directly at Henry after being hit. He blinks wildly for almost a minute, but at least you're invincible during that time.

There are also little robots. Don't worry, they're handled in a adroit manner. Speaking of ridiculous, how about these stairs? You'll be running up and down those a lot while you keep checking to see if new doors are not unlocked. Don't worry, you don't get keys and you're not told in advance. You just have to keep on checking. You're not without a better mode of transportation, however. You can double jump!

If I had one screenshot to express my feelings succinctly, it would be this one.

Here's the rest of the screenshots. Please, only buy this game to gift to someone you hate.

Update: You get an escort mission!.

Why guys you're trying to kill each other using this games? Two more games like this and we will lost a great part of SG-community!

Btw, lokonopa steam says you've played the game only 0,4 hours. Gosh, looks like you lived through the whole life in the Hell in this 24 minutes. So many impressions!

Guys, I send you my best wishes, hope you can all endure Henry's horrid torture. May the Force be with you!

PS: I laughed my ass off with the comments in the screenshots, they're brilliant. xD

And so it begins, time to sit down and blast my way through the game. Thanks (I think) for the game lokonopa.

How does this game take up so much space!?

I'm afraid of all the people who play this kind of games. You are terrifying.

After finishing this cough today, I would like to adress loko's statement about levels. There are 8 Chapters (or stages, whatever), each has 4 levels, one boss fight (with just one same boss) and a bonus level. And there's not just a house, there's an outside area, a park and a school. And a total of 5 background tracks (they all sound the same to me anyway). As you go through the game you will notice that all the missions are the same, like: "Collect 20 pair of pants". Most of them make no sense, and so does the storyline. Bottomline: if I was 5 years old, I would've probably enjoyed this, but now... ugh.
