Struggling

"‎Constant deaths, relentless levels, control schemes that are difficult to master... ‎‎Victory in Struggling is a luxury,‎‎ something that is not easily granted to us and for which we have to fight constantly. Deliberately stripping the player of almost any …"

"Like its repulsive protagonist, Struggling is a two-faced herm. It has a stomach-turning glance, yet irresistible. Alternate questionable design choices with fragments of good entertainment. It is a poison (in single) and a panacea (in pairs). You may hate it, …"

"While Struggling eventually comes together to a degree and showcases impressive creativity, it doesn’t change that this is a game with audio that made me want to mute my TV and controls, which simply don’t feel good. It’s a real …"

"Unique main character and his Controls. It is so easy to hate this game and so hard to play it. But give it a chance in co-op mode."

"Struggling isn&s;t the first game whose main gimmick is a protagonist who&s;s deliberately difficult to control. Whereas other games do this for comedy effect, though, here it only serves to frustrate. It&s;s difficult enough in single-player, but as a co-op …"

"If you love a challenge, Struggling provides it in spades. The visuals and level designs are fantastic, and the music is the icing on the blood-soaked cake."

"Struggling is a bizarre, hilarious and thoroughly entertaining adventure that makes the most of its relatively simple graphics and gameplay"

"Chasing Rats and Frontier bring us Struggling, a game where control becomes primordial in our goal to guide our "hero" Troy to freedom. An original, provocative and very funny title."

"If you like overcoming frustration, maybe you&s;ll find something worthwhile. I don&s;t."

"Struggling is a very creative and endearing platformer that surprised me with both how much I enjoyed its grotesque universe and how tight its physics-based gameplay is."

"Never has a game title been more fitting. Struggling is, well, a bit of a struggle. Imagine the abstract movement and control system of Octodad paired with some platforming feats that require a modicum of precision. It’s a recipe for …"

"Struggling is a mess. While I can&s;t fault the controls themselves, the object physics are just not reliable enough in crucial areas, as the momentum when using some objects is too chaotic to reliably make progress. Unless you have the …"

"Struggling has imaginative indie talent sloshing throughout. Plus, you can tell it&s;s got a big publisher behind it, believing in its charm and uniqueness."

"Struggling is a game that I was sure I was going to dislike but had me changing my mind with pure joy from the earliest stages."
