Press X to Not Die

This is a pretty rushed review, I'm not going to lie. But it is the reason that you're all about to find about one weird ass game.


The game itself is only available on the PC or Xbox 360 and is developed and published by a small Canadian video game developer. I'm not going to bother mentioning their name since this game is terrible and you shouldn't even get it as a joke.

The entire concept of the game is that its one big quick time event where you press the correct button and you continue to progress in the game. This is what is deemed as success, but to be honest, at times I felt I was being punished just by having to continue to play this game. You could also increase the difficulty in case you hate yourself and want to waste most of your own time even more.

I got this game as a joke during one of the sales, I wanted to round off the purchase to get another card. However, to be honest I'm still not happy with it. I understand that its trying to be an experimental absurd game, but it isn't even that funny to be honest. It was just weird and not in a good way and the fact that it went on for so long was something I just couldn't get. I know that the whole game is a self referential joke about a trope, but just making the joke doesn't mean that its automatically funny. It has to be executed well and this game wasn't.
